Taylor & Francis Ltd Getting Ready to Learn
Book SynopsisGetting Ready to Learn describes how educational media have and are continuing to play a role in meeting the learning needs of children, parents, and teachers. Based on years of meaningful data from the CPB-PBS Ready To Learn Initiative, chapters explore how to develop engaging, playful, and developmentally appropriate content. From Emmy-Award-winning series to randomized controlled trials, this book covers the media production, scholarly research and technological advances surrounding some of the country's most beloved programming.Trade ReviewFeaturing a Foreword by Dr. Alice Wilder and Sir Ken Robinson"Combining in-depth research analysis and practical case analysis, the collected authors in Shelley Pasnik’s book present a hopeful vision of how technology and media can support children’s learning. It models a kind of intentional, thoughtful, and creative approach that gives positive meaning to media and technology much needed in the often noisy world of mindless consumption."—Junlei Li, Fred Rogers Center/Zaentz Early Childhood, Harvard University, USA"At last! A comprehensive and highly readable account of the CPB/PBS Ready to Learn initiative, which has fundamentally transformed children’s television programming. This is the first and only volume that puts all the accumulated research together, and will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in educational media. It will prove once and for all that high quality programming can be a valuable resource for children’s social-emotional learning and cognitive development."—Susan B. Neuman, Professor of Childhood and Literacy Education, New York University, USA"In this well-researched collection, Pasnik and her colleagues distinguish what makes the Ready To Learn initiative so unique, how it’s made a positive difference in the lives of many families, and why it is an excellent public investment. Getting Ready to Learn makes an extremely strong case for why and how thoughtful, intentionally produced media can make a big difference in the lives of young children, especially children who are most in need of additional support and resources."—Michael Robb, Senior Director of Research, Common Sense Media, USA"This book brings together scholarly articles from a wide range of contributors who each bring their own expertise to bear, bringing us a truly authoritative book. Educational media has a significant and seemingly ever-increasing role to play in meeting the learning needs of children, parents, and teachers. This book draws on years of meaningful data from the CPB-PBS Ready To Learn Initiative, with chapters exploring how to develop engaging, playful, and developmentally appropriate content. From Emmy-Award-winning series to randomised controlled trials, this book covers the media production, scholarly research and technological advances surrounding some of the US's most beloved programming."— Sarah Brew, Parents in TouchTable of ContentsForeword by Dr. Alice Wilder and Sir Ken Robinson 1.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc May Tomorrow Be Awake
Book SynopsisTrade Review“May Tomorrow Be Awake is stark and touchable portrait of tenderness that doesn’t treat living and loving as a challenge, even when it might be challenging. From sinking into this book, I learned how to be a better and more thoughtful steward of the world and the people closest to me. There is no greater gift than this one, to depart from a text with a cleaner, more generous view of living.” — Hanif Adurraqib, poet and author of A Little Devil in America and A Fortune for Your Disaster "By forming meaningful connections with non-speaking autistic poets and coming to understand the distinctive ways they employ the architecture of language to express themselves, Chris Martin has returned poetry to its primordial function -- as a domain of soul-making that can transform society." — Steve Silberman, author, NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity "A wondrous exploration of autistic creativity, and the mutual learning that becomes possible when we let go of ’normal’ and aim for authentic connection.” — Nick Walker, PhD, author of Neuroqueer Heresies "Every poem is deep with philosophical intuition from productive minds. I am so glad the poets have found an outlet in this book to be heard." — Tito Mukhopadhyay, poet and author of Teaching Myself to See and How Can I Talk If My Lips Don’t Move “A sensitive celebration of neuroscientific difference. Martin’s message is not only about unleashing the potential of autistic individuals, but creating a world where ‘different modes of movement, of communication, of being and signing and pointing and singing and ticcing and typing’ affords all people a new vision ‘of what it means to be human.’” — Kirkus “Martin braids contemporary neurological research and literary theory in this eloquent reflection on his experience teaching poetry to neurodiverse students. . . . [His] narration is empathetic and charming, and his students’ writings combine to offer moving, intelligent, insightful pathways for understanding different minds. The result brilliantly proves that nonverbal doesn’t mean voiceless.” — Publishers Weekly
