Taylor & Francis Ltd The Emotion Cards
Book SynopsisThe Emotion Cards are 48 emotive and artistic images designed to help people to review their emotions and their relationships in a meaningful and often transformative way. The cards are designed to capture the deeper truth of how people experience their life, offering poignant descriptions for what someone may be feeling.This beautiful resource is also a perfect supplement to Draw on Your Emotions, Margot Sunderland s bestselling book. The second edition of Draw on Your Emotions contains a new section that explains how to get the most out of combining the activities in the book with these cards to encourage meaningful conversations and take steps towards positive action.Intended for use in educational settings and/or therapy contexts under the supervision of an adult. This is not a toy.Trade ReviewJulia Bird, Director of ThriveI am a founding director of a company that supports approximately 1,800 adults working in education to understand if a child has emotional developmental interruptions and what to do to make a difference. We train many teachers and other adults working in schools. Margot Sunderland’s books are recommended reading for those who attend our courses. Our trainees find the Draw On books very helpful in training and then also with their children - not just those children identified for special help. They deal with universal life themes relevant for all. I particularly like the theoretical explanation mixed with superb, doable activities/exercises and copyable handouts.Margot is an acknowledged expert in her field and her passion to make such important understandings and ways of working with troubled children accessible to ordinary people - parents, teachers, support workers - is manifest in the old excellent editions. Her suggestions for the new editions for both books are really exciting. I certainly will recommend the new editions to the people with whom I work.What is needed are work books that give the basic theoretical understanding - e.g. why using imagery is a potent way of supporting children to process feelings - with very usable activities that ordinary people can use to great effect with their children or with the children with whom they work.The addition of the cards will help adults open the conversation with children/young people about difficult feelings. These are a real improvement on the books as they stand now. To have images that are so evocative will enhance the dialogue and give opportunities for all involved to tickle the imagination and make more sense and help the children digest their emotional responses to life situations that cause them such pain and difficulty.The new suggestions will take the work with children from labelling feelings without a real connection to deeper meaning to an integration of feelings, imagination and language that deepen awareness and supports emotional development.The cards will not go out of date as I imagine they will illustrate life’s difficulties that are timeless.I absolutely support the need for updated editions of these superb books and think the cards to be incredibly helpful in supporting children to tell their stories and process trauma.Table of Contents 48 picture cards each with an image and short caption covering different emotional states Short booklet covering suggested usage of the cards and guidance around integrating the productive longer term counselling provided in the linked book, Draw on Your Emotions Captions and booklet translated into German, French, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese

Taylor & Francis Ltd Shaping Education Policy
Book SynopsisShaping Education Policy is a comprehensive overview of education politics and policy, which provides conceptual guideposts for future policy development and strategies for change. Leading scholars explore the interacting social processes and the dynamics of power politics as they intersect with democratic ideals and shape school performance. Chapters cover major themes that have influenced education, including the Civil Rights Movement, federal involvement, the accountability movement, family choice, and development of nationalization and globalization. This edited collection examines how education policy in the United States has evolved over the last several decades and how the resulting policies are affecting schools and the children who attend them. This important book is a necessary resource for understanding the evolution, current status, and possibilities of educational policy and politics.Trade ReviewPraise for the First Edition"Shaping Education Policy provides a comprehensive overview of where new policy initiatives and governance structures come from. Perhaps more importantly, it raises questions about what we might expect of their implementation."—Teachers College Record review by Jack Schneider, Assistant Professor, Education, College of the Holy Cross"It is a truth universally acknowledged that American schools are in need of dramatic improvement. Those seeking to understand why this is so—and why 'reforms' almost always fall short of their goals—will not find a better starting point than this volume, which brings together an outstanding group of authors to explore the vexed relationships among history, politics, and educational policy. As political and policy environments grow darker and more turbulent Shaping Education Policy offers a steady perspective on the things that matter most for American schools, and why they are so difficult to achieve."— David N.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Bringing the Froebel Approach to your Early Years
Book SynopsisHave you ever wondered about the origins of the kindergarten and the influence of Froebel on early years practice? What did Froebel mean by a garden for children? Why did he believe that play is central in young children's learning? Bringing the Froebel Approach to your Early Years Practice looks at the founder of the kindergarten and his profound influence on provision and practice for young children today. The Froebelian approach is not a method but includes distinctive principles which shape and guide practice. This new edition has been fully updated in line with the revised EYFS and includes: extra material on using the approach with children of different ages and the role of the adult a discussion of key Froebelian principles such as play, imagination, creativity, learning through self-activity and making connections an examination of block play and how this can be developed in contemporary settings <Trade ReviewJan Marks, University of Chester, UK This book clearly shows the main principles of Froebel’s philosophy and how it relates to early years practice today. I have used this book, mainly with the Level 4 (first year) Early Childhood Studies undergraduates. It is important that they understand a range of approaches to early years education. Froebel is one of the main pioneers that we look at. Texts such as this one give the students the opportunity to compare and contrast and identify appropriate practice.This edition needs updating, especially with regard to references to the out of date EYFS. Emma Byrne, Early Years Practitioner, UK I like the look and feel of the book; it is small, compact and clearly set out. When I initially opened the book I found the first section really interesting about Froebel and his life and could see his ideas in settings where I work. The ideas in the book and chapters are practical and useful. I think the structure and format is good but from the other questions would consider more about ages and ideas of how to implement the more challenging activities with the younger children or how to vary the activities so more suitable for a younger child, more about documenting the child’s skills and more about the adult role and managing the situation. Table of Contents1. An introduction to a Froebelian approach. 2. Friedrich Froebel, his life and his ideas. 3. A Froebelian approach to play and learning. 4. An environment for living and learning. 5. Resources and how they are used. 6. The nursery garden and play outdoors. 7. The wider world of people and places. 8. Block play. 9. Movement, song, rhythm and rhyme. 10. Adult roles and relationships.

Donlan and Whitaker remind us that as superintendents we serve as our boards’ first teachers. The authors give cogent examples of what that looks like in practice—and how purposeful efforts make huge differences in focusing the work on what matters. A must read for new and experienced superintendents alike."—Karen Rue, Senior Associate, N2Learning; 2016 President, Urban Superintendents of America Association; Past-President, Texas Association of School Administrators "The superintendent sits on an island. That island can become very lonely. The relationship forged between board and district leader is essential to getting off that island and leading the district in a direction that is best for students, parents, staff, and community members. Donlan and Whitaker provide a practical guide to address a multitude of issues that arise during the superintendency. The Hero Maker helps administrators empower those around them, while still maintaining the delicate balance needed to move a district forward."—Joe Sanfelippo, Superintendent, Fall Creek School District, WI "This book is full of practical tips that provide insight that would benefit new superintendents or even the most seasoned veteran. Donlan and Whitaker do an excellent job of providing easy-to-implement, concrete tips to make every board member feel and act like a hero. Additionally, the book could serve as a great resource to help a board member better understand the broad context of everything their vital job entails."—PJ Caposey, Superintendent, Meridian CUSD 223, Stillman Valley, IL "Superintendent and school board relationships are a critical component to successful school corporations. Yet for all the importance intertwined in this relationship, few resources or training guides exist on how to maneuver and succeed through these complex relationships. The Hero Maker by Donlan and Whitaker is a crucial resource for the beginning or highly experienced school superintendent. Donlan and Whitaker’s common sense approach for superintendents to build relations, avoid pitfalls, and communicate efficiently and successfully provides a path for long-term and successful relationships of superintendents with their school board members."—David Hoffert, PhD, Superintendent, Warsaw Community Schools, IN "The Hero Maker is a must read for superintendents who want to excel at working with their school boards. Establishing and maintaining effective relationships with board members is paramount for any superintendent who desires to effectively lead a school district. In this book, Donlan and Whitaker provide practical and relevant strategies that can be implemented by superintendents at large and small districts alike to help guide school boards to operate in a manner that will be beneficial to students and the community at large. I highly recommend this book from these two influential educational leaders."—Rob Moorhead, Superintendent, South Ripley Community School Corporation, Versailles, IN Table of ContentsChapter 1 – The Hero Maker Chapter 2 – Constituencies Chapter 3 – The Board of Education Chapter 4 – The Superintendent as The Shield Chapter 5 – The Care and Feeding of Board Members Chapter 6 – Board Meetings Chapter 7 – Between Board Meetings Chapter 8 – Advancing by Retreating Chapter 9 – Board Personalities: The I in Team Chapter 10 – Board Personalities: Doors and the Dance of Drama Chapter 11 – Starting Undefeated Chapter 12 – The Tour of Duty Epilogue: What Next?

WW Norton & Co Read Until You Understand
Book SynopsisA brilliant scholar imparts the lessons bequeathed by the Black community and its remarkable artists and thinkersTrade Review"Read Until You Understand is brought to life through Griffin’s account of the ways in which Black culture was an integral part of her being, not just an adornment... Griffin is driven by a belief that the cultivation of aesthetic appreciation – in which the beautiful and the political do not compete – is where real change can be found. It is a book that acknowledges life’s conflicts while still valuing hope and beauty." -- Douglas Field - The Times Literary Supplement"Now a noted scholar of African American literature, Griffin shares, in a blend of memoir and criticism, the fruits of her lifelong journey to fulfill that aspiration [to read until you understand]… She also richly evokes her childhood in Philadelphia, long a hub for Black activism where she belonged…to a family whose women, skilled seamstresses and gardeners, cultivated beauty." -- New Yorker"Quietly captivating…This is a life lived among books, and reinterpreted through them." -- Carlols Lozada - Washington Post"[Griffin] is both masterful critic and master teacher." -- Walton Muyumba - Boston Globe"A book like Read Until You Understand takes courage to produce… Griffin’s evangelizing of Black literature does what the best sermons do: It sends you back to Scripture—Baldwin, Coates, Morrison, David Walker and others—to discover or rediscover them, to ponder and treasure them anew." -- Monica Drake - The New York Times Book Review

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Teacher Education in ComputerAssisted Language
Book SynopsisEven though many pre-service and in-service teacher programs now address information and computer technology, computer- assisted language learning (CALL) teacher education is still reported as inadequate. Why is this? This book elaborates on some of the existing concerns and through deft analysis of longitudinal data begins to piece together a future road map for CALL teacher education. The book adopts a sociocultural approach, based on the principle that teaching (and learning how to teach) is a long term, complex developmental process that operates through participation in social practices that come with the territory. Euline Cutrim Schmid highlights the need for situated and localized learning, pre-service and in-service collaboration and collaborative peer-assisted learning. Above all of this, the book recommends and proves the efficacy of socially aware and professional reflective practice. This is an essential sociolinguistic take on the computer learning revolution.Trade ReviewThis text can serve as a practical guidebook for educators to improve their integration of CALL in their practice ... Provides a unique and much needed perspective to the study of CALL where it is common for the technology, rather than the teacher implementing it, to take center stage. * CALL-EJ *This thought-provoking and timely book makes a significant contribution to teacher education in CALL. From its perceptive insights into theory to the innovative suggestions for practice, it charts a path forward with remarkable clarity, honesty and detail. It is highly recommended for practitioners and researchers who are interested in how teacher education can first be conceptualised and then, most importantly, be made to work. * Mike Levy, Professor, The University of Queensland, Australia *Table of ContentsForeword, written by Regine Hampel (Open University, UK) Preface Part I: Theoretical Framework and Research Design 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Teacher Education in Crisis
Book SynopsisHow was the crisis of teacher supply, teaching quality, and the crisis of confidence in initial teacher education (ITE) policy formation in England constructed? In this open access book, leading teacher educators and researchers provide unique insights into the great experiment' in ITE in England, including insights from people who were in the room' at critical junctures in the process. International researchers also contribute chapters that highlight the distinctive approach England has taken and why it is now an outlier in terms of ITE policy. The chapters show how it is the relationship between the state and the market the state rejecting the market when it doesn't deliver the required ideological solution that makes ITE reform in England so interesting and why it is important it is brought to international attention.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Monash UTrade ReviewAn excellent analysis of the policy construction and rhetorical ‘crisis’ which has been used to justify the government’s ‘Market Review’ and subsequent re-accreditation process. It shows how evidence of the high quality of English ITE was ignored, so that an ideological, un-tested experiment could be imposed, complete with new ‘world-leading’ providers who have never trained a teacher, and a narrow technicist franchised curriculum. Most alarming is the outline of the limited and interconnected group of influential policy entrepreneurs who suggest, are consulted on, and then benefit from these policy changes. -- Edward Podesta, Associate Professor of Professional Practice, Leeds Trinity University, UKA hard hitting and honest account of the impact of policy change in teacher education told through the voices of teacher educators who have had to navigate the crisis! -- Karan Vickers-Hulse, Associate Head of Department for ITE, University of the West of England Bristol, UKThis book lifts the lid on the recent reforms of teacher education. Although it lambasts the myopic and ideological power grab by recent governments over the education of teachers, it also provides an outstanding synthesis of the causes and effects of this disaster and some small hope for the future. -- David Leat, Professor of Curriculum Innovation, Newcastle University, UKThis authoritative collection of accounts written by a range of key stakeholders helpfully illuminates, with a depressing degree of accuracy, the havoc wreaked by successive policy makers over the past decade on the once successful system for providing pre-service teacher education in England. -- Janet Orchard, Associate Professor in Philosophy and Religion in Teacher Education, University of Bristol, UKTable of Contents1.
