Book SynopsisChildren develop and learn best when their environment is tailored to their individual needs, supported through careful observation, informed assessment and dynamic planning - a cycle which is the bedrock of good early years practice. Although the EYFS recommends that observation, assessment and planning should be linked in a constant, cyclical process, in practice this can be a significant challenge. This book presents an integrated framework which puts the cycle into practical terms, bringing it all together to ensure a seamless process and to support you in this vital part of your work.The focus is on the critical links within the cycle and combines theory with proven good practice, including: Making and recording observations effectively and efficiently How observations should inform next steps, assessment and planning Bringing all the information together into a cyclical process Exploring potential challenges Using reflective practice to refine and improveTable of ContentsPart One: Getting StartedBackground to the early years curriculumWhy observe?Different methods of observationsPart Two: Using the InformationAssessments from observationsDeciding the next steps from assessments and observationsWhat is planning?Planning for the EYFS using assessments Part Three: Bringing it All TogetherObservations, assessment and planning for children with special educational needsThe reflective practitionerObservation, assessment and planning in researchBringing it all together BibligraphyIndex

Book SynopsisWhat are the purposes of education and what is the relationship between educational research and policy? Using the twin lenses of Visible Learning and educational philosophy, these are among the many fascinating topics discussed in extended conversations between John Hattie and Steen Nepper Larsen. This wide-ranging and informative book offers fundamental propositions about the nature of education. It maps out in fascinating detail a coming together of Hattie's empirical data and world-famous Visible Learning paradigm with the rich heritage of educational philosophy. Additionally, it explores the inevitable questions of the purpose of education and the development of students in a learning society. Part clash of cultures, part meeting of minds, always fascinating and illuminating, this intriguing book will inspire teachers, students, and parents at all levels of the educational system from kindergarten through school to university. ConTrade Review"This book offers a mind-stretching breadth of content, a refreshingly respectful approach to debate, and an insightful analysis of the perennial 'purposes' question." - Steve Turnbull, Schools Week"The book has good section divisions, with small illustrative comics woven in and good summarizing questions after the chapters. All in all, it is a book with a very inviting and readable form." - Lark Grandjean, folkeskolen"If you are yet to read Visible Learning, I would recommend starting here. Many of the chapters can be used at teacher training colleges and other areas of higher education. I myself plan to use chapters from the book in my teaching. It comes highly recommended." - Kirsten Hyldgaard, Unge Pædagoger"It is well-edited, lively and contains many interesting conversations, which partly follow the main thematic tracks, but which also include numerous concrete experiences and examples from completely different contexts, which are interesting in themselves." - Peter Østergaard Andersen, Dansk pædagogisk TidsskriftTable of ContentsIntroductionI The encounterII Does educational data speak for itself?III Is learning a visible phenomenon?

Book SynopsisButler and Huang's book is one of the first to focus on second language (L2) development research methods and techniques specifically targeted at children of primary and pre-primary years.The last decade has seen a growing number of L2 studies of children aged 412, a demographic with special developmental characteristics that confound research methods designed for studying adults. Written by experts from a variety of disciplines, this book covers major research methods and techniques in existing L2 development research, including observations, surveys, interviews, introspective methods, speech production methods, receptive methods, eye tracking, and brain imaging, as well as research methods specifically designed for L2 children with special educational needs. The book also discusses various age-related considerations and challenges if they are employed to young L2 learners.This will be essential reading for SLA, child development, and TESOL researchers, and students iTrade ReviewThe potential of this book is enormous. No longer can L2 researchers claim ignorance to the nuances and challenges of working with younger learners, a population so often overlooked. Yuko Butler and Becky Huang’s volume, and the entire cast of contributors, deftly guides us on a full spectrum of methodological approaches and the myriad issues we are likely to encounter in conducting research with children. It’s now up to us—the L2 research community—to step up and to put in to practice the time- and experience-tested techniques described herein. And I very much hope we will. (Luke Plonsky, Northern Arizona University)This book is a gem for researchers of children’s L2 development! It offers wise guidance across a wealth of methods, from ethnography and interviews, to eye-tracking and brain imaging, and a lot more. With its exciting selection of authors and its comprehensive coverage, this is the ideal textbook for a research methods course focusing on L2 children populations. (Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University) In an increasingly bilingual world with more and more children growing up exposed to an additional language either at birth or as young as age 2-5, this long-needed volume will make a very timely and notable contribution to the field of child L2 acquisition. With its different chapters discussing, in a highly accessible fashion, a variety of research methods in reference to the relevant theoretical framework behind them, the book will serve as an excellent resource for both novice and expert researchers interested in identifying intricate issues in child L2 development. I strongly recommend it. (Ayşe Gürel, Bogazici University)Table of ContentsTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction: Researching Child Second Language Development (Becky H.

Book SynopsisThis book encourages readers to think about reading not only as an encounter with written language, but as a lifelong habit of engagement with ideas. We look at reading in four different ways: as linguistic process, personal experience, collective experience, and as classroom practice. We think about how reading influences a life, how it changes over time, how we might return at different stages of life to the same reading, how we might respond differently to ideas read in an L1 and L2. There are 44 teaching activities, all founded on research that explores the nature, value and impact of reading as an authentic activity rather than for language or study purposes alone. We consider what this means for schools and classrooms, and for different kinds of learners. The final part of the book provides practical stepping stones for the teacher to become a researcher of their own classes and learners. The four parts of the book offer a virtuous join between reading, teaching and researchinTable of ContentsList of Tables List of Abbreviations Series Editors PrefaceIntroductionBecoming a reading teacherWhy should a teacher of reading engage with research?Ten questions about readingWhat this book is notWhat this book is PART ONE From research to implications A Framing reading as linguistic processQuestion 1: What are we doing when we read?

Book SynopsisEducational Choices, Transitions and Aspirations in Europe analyses educational choices and transitions in eight different European countries/regions and provides an engaging means of considering issues of inequality through international comparisons. The book is underpinned by explorations of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, which share the common goal of highlighting and challenging educational inequalities in relation to political imaginings and discursive constructions of notions of aspirations and choice.Beginning with an overview of the theoretical landscape, the book posits ways of understanding transitional experiences through both a social and a political lens. Comprising of chapters that explore these issues within the context of specific countries and at different stages of young peopleâs transitions, the collection examines the features of different European education systems and how they frame transitions and choices, before providTrade Review"This books provides excellent insight into young people's educational choices being neither individual nor structural but relational."Andreas Walther, Goethe-University of Frankfurt.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisSpecially selected by Diane Reay, this is a collection of innovative and thought-provoking recently published papers that 'use' Bourdieu to put theory into practice in order to understand and analyse educational problems. Bourdieu's work is renowned for its focus on inequalities and its centering of social justice. The contributions utilise a wide range of diverse concepts in Bourdieu's theoretical 'tool-kit', and address educational inequalities across different aspects of the educational system â from higher education and parental choice of schooling, to teachers' professional development and the PE classroom. Illuminating key aspects of Bourdieu's scholarship, they reveal how good Bourdieu is 'for thinking withâ; illustrate the merits of reflexivity, the move beyond binary ways of reading the social world; and demonstrate the significance of power in any analysis of education. The chapters in this book were all originally published as articles in TayloTable of ContentsIntroduction 1. The practical importance of Bourdieu’s analyses of higher education 2.

Book SynopsisInternational Law on the Aims of Education is a practical and tangible guide to the international legal standards on the aim and content of education. Using Article 29 of The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) as a reference point, the book provides a detailed legal analysis of international minimum standards on how a child should be educated. The book adopts a traditional legal positivist approach to explore the scope and nature of international law on the aims of education. It is divided into three main questions: 1) What is international law and are the aims of education valid legal obligations? 2) What is the content and scope of these laws on the aims of education? 3) What are the obligations of authorities and teachers to respect and fulfil the law? The book is unique as the first book on international law dedicated separately to the aims of primary and secondary school education, not only focusing on human rights education.

Book SynopsisOn the Write Track puts teachers' autonomy and their knowledge of what is right for their pupils at the heart of teaching writing. It explores a set of research-based principles, before illustrating these with case studies and examples of classroom practice. Writing is about communication. Learning to write gives children a voice that others will listen to a voice they can use to share their ideas, articulate their feelings, amuse and delight their readers and argue for what they believe in. While every child, every teacher and every classroom are different, approaches to teaching writing can sometimes feel prescriptive, whether they are based on a particular curriculum model, commercial scheme, assessment system or underlying philosophy. This book provides freedom and choice by introducing a series of tracks' for writing teaching, including practical approaches to: Building a community of writers in the classroom <Trade Review Winner of the UKLA Academic Book Award 2023 - judges noted, 'On the Write Track thus seems likely to be a staple for many years to come, not just for early years and primary teachers but also secondary English teachers, initial teacher education students and teacher-researchers. Children learning to write in the classrooms of anyone who engages with this publication will undoubtedly benefit from its benign but robust advice.’ "In On the Write Track, James Clements offers writing scheme-weary primary educators something refreshingly simple, sensible and well-researched. He argues for several pathways (or in his words, a number of ‘tracks’) teachers can choose to take with their students, responding and using their professional judgment wisely... On the Write Track is worth reading and using for all primary teachers due to its equal balance of depth and accessibility." - Robbie Burns, Schools Week Table of ContentsOn the Write Track: An introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis edited volume brings together the perspectives of a diverse group of international scholars to explore the intersections of study abroad and social mobility. In doing so, it challenges universalist assumptions and power imbalances implicit in study abroad across the Global North and South, and explores the implications of COVID-19 for equity within study abroad programs, policy, and practice going forward.Offering empirical, theoretical, and conceptual contributions, Critical Perspectives on Equity and Social Mobility in Study Abroad foregrounds critical reflection on the stratification of access to study abroad and examines the varied outcomes of international study in relation to graduates' entry into domestic and international labor markets. Focusing on the experiences and outcomes of students from varied backgrounds, chapters identify a number of power imbalances relating to student race, ethnicity, religion, local and international policies and politicTrade ReviewWithout reservation, I applaud this multi-faceted and in-depth examination laying bare the stratification and inequities of study abroad. This book challenges the vestiges of privilege and provides ways that equity can be infused within study abroad.--Linda Serra Hagedorn, Professor Emeritus, Iowa State University, USAThis volume on Social Mobility in Study Abroad addresses important aspects of both access and outcome of global student mobility, by a diverse team of scholars from a rich variety of perspectives. Further research of this topic will have particularly important impact in the context of developing countries, where the intersection of social justice and student mobility is yet to be in the center of concern and discussion.--Yenbo Wu, Associate Vice President, Division of International Education, San Francisco State University, USACritical Perspectives on Equity and Social Mobility in Study Abroad: Interrogating Issues of Unequal Access and Outcomes brings together a truly international array of perspectives on education abroad and its economic implications. It is hard to imagine a more important topic during the current period of transition and uncertainty. --Gerardo L. Blanco, Academic Director, Center for International Higher Education, Boston College, USACritical Perspectives on Equity and Social Mobility in Study Abroad: Interrogating Issues of Unequal Access and Outcomes sheds light on a critically-important issue that has been far too often ignored, namely, social inequality in study abroad. Utilizing a comparative cross-national approach, this edited volume offers a highly-welcomed examination of a gnawing concern for all of us engaged in international education.--William I. Brustein, Special Assistant to the President for Global Affairs, Eberly Family Distinguished Professor of History, West Virginia University, USAThis book is a very interesting and much needed book. It highlights aspects too often neglected when discussing the link between student mobility, labor market access and social mobility. It provides a comprehensive global overview of the topic with contributions by authors from different backgrounds and it does not limit itself to underline the problem of inequality, but also explores possible solutions to it.-- Giorgio Marinoni, Manager, HE and Internationalization, International Association of Universities, UNESCO House, France This timely book speaks directly to how to rebuild study abroad to make it more accessible, equitable, and aligned with inclusive social and economic mobility outcomes.

Filled with examples and written in a friendly and collaborative style, this key guide uses simple language and easy-to-understand examples to unpack complex research issues. This book is essential reading for students and anyone interested in undertaking a capstone project in the field of education. Trade Review"This book is a page-turner. At last we have a book that sets out a comprehensive range of useful issues in planning, doing and reporting a capstone project. The authors’ experiences of working on capstone projects shines clearly. Its positive style and graphics are first class for students and their supervisors: clear, down-to-earth, focused, practical and thought-provoking for every stage and type of capstone project. The advice is constructive, memorable and important. This book is a breath of fresh air, promoting and rewarding reflective practice. It should be the number one call for students doing capstone projects."Professor Keith Morrison, Vice-rector and Professor of Education, University of Saint Joseph, Macau, China"Undertaking Capstone Projects’ is an extremely valuable addition to education research. Supervisors everywhere will be thrilled to find an approach which brings together theory and practice for teachers and shows the huge benefits of evidence-based research. For teacher-researchers themselves, the book provides a self-study journey leading to research which applies evidence-based solutions to their work-related issues. Capstone projects are practical, flexible, and practice-based. I strongly recommend using this book as the key text for those embarking on research projects in education."Professor Elizabeth Rata, Director of Knowledge in Education Research Unit, University of Auckland, New Zealand"This is an excellent book for the early career researcher. Drs Burke and Dempsey have taken a really innovative fresh approach to education research methods for practitioners. Their book will fill the void missing in the current extensive range of publications for the students who are just about to embark on a research journey. At the early-stages students can be overwhelmed by the plethora of new language and ideas they encounter. By the time the novice researchers get to the end of this great book, they will know what phenomenology, mixed methods, quantitative analysis and much more are and where they fit in the big picture, leaving the new researcher ready to dig deeper and refine their own research journey."

Book SynopsisAt the beginning of the 21st century museums are challenged on a number of fronts. The prioritisation of learning in museums in the context of demands for social justice and cultural democracy combined with cultural policy based on economic rationalism forces museums to review their educational purposes, redesign their pedagogies and account for their performance. The need to theorise learning and culture for a cultural theory of learning is very pressing. If culture acts as a process of signification, a means of producing meaning that shapes worldviews, learning in museums and other cultural organisations is potentially dynamic and profound, producing self-identities. How is this complexity to be measured'? What can this measurement' reveal about the character of museum-based learning? The calibration of culture is an international phenomenon, and the measurement of the outcomes and impact of learning in museums in England has provided a detailed case study.

Book SynopsisRizvi and Lingard's account of the global politics of education is thoughtful, complex and compelling. It is the first really comprehensive discussion and analysis of global trends in education policy, their effects - structural and individual - and resistance to them. In the enormous body of writing on globalisation this book stands out and will become a basic text in education policy courses around the world.- Stephen J Ball, Karl Mannheim Professor of Sociology of Education, Institute of Education, University of London, UKIn what ways have the processes of globalization reshaped the educational policy terrain? How might we analyse education policies located within this new terrain, which is at once local, national, regional and global?In Globalizing Education Policy, the authors explore the key global drivers of policy change in education, and suggest that these do not operate in the same way in all nation-states. They examine the transformative effectTrade ReviewThe proposal is important. There is a need for the kind of discussion that these authors are offering and their planning and organization suggest a well thought out approach. It is a growing policy area, more and more evident, and it impinges on many aspects of educational practice, even when it is not named directly in them [viz the field of assessment may or may not recognize the global aspects of their work, or may be unable to provide a reasonable theorization of the global field they are in]. This book offers a very good chance to introduce the subject across a wide range of educational and educational research work.Its market in the US and the UK will depend on the reputation of the authors, and so I think sales are assured there, and I imagine so in Australia and perhaps the Pacific Rim], sales outside those areas will depend on whether the book is aimed at a more complex version of globalization than they seem to suggest [see below].The rise of courses using ‘globalization ‘and ‘education’ as their main categorizationis on the rise, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and across the field of the social sciences. However there is a problem of the scarcity of solid books [as opposed the documents and working papers] to support them.This is an opportunity for a readable text, using solid cases, informed by social science thinking. Because of the nature of the subject, there is a good chance that the book would go into reprint, and should be revised within a few years. They are going to provide a form of analysis, and examples, which will make the book sustainable, realistically in its proposed form, for about 5-10 years.Both authors have good track records in this area and the publisher is being offered recognized expertise in this proposal.One of the problems with both the analyses and cases to be used is to do with the perspective of the text. Globalization is often seen as Americanization [sometimes elided with anglo-saxon] phenomenon across the world yet the US [and possibly the UK, as the state most heavily permeated by foreign capital in Europe] appears to be only half aware of globalizing effects across the wider world. Much as I would like to read about Trinidad and Tobago, if this book is to be a serious contribution, the reader needs to know about China [as well as India – an improvement on what is generally available and very important], latin America and most of all [for reason of sales], Germany, Spain and France. Europe [the Community] has to be in the book, as it is an example of transnational governance and is significantly different to World Bank etc [also, I was surprised to find use of England as opposed to UK – was this just thoughtlessness or is an interesting case being made here ?]At the centre of the book is still a fairly normative view, based on Americanization, and counter cases have to be studied here – all the book will do [without care] is explain how the globalizing effect is without choice, dominant, pervasive and homogenizing. If it ignores certain kinds of cases, then that is exactly what it will show. For every Singapore, it needs to review oppositional and resistant cases. This has been the problem of books produced from an English perspective [based on NZ, Aus, the US and the UK]; in effect this is a single policy arena, and a book which reflects should describe itself as doing just that.Yes, [I recommend publishing the book] very much so, but on revision and not before. It could be an excellent as opposed to a good but limited book.Overall, I have confidence in the authors, their expertise, capabilities and their interests, otherwise I would have said that not enough work is evident here about the americanizing world seen from outside. instead, I suggest they should a further opportunity to extend their thinking and redraft. the general organization of the book may look the same but the outlook and reach of the book will be extended, and its value increased. (Martin Lawn, University of Birmingham, UK)Response to Reviewer’s Report on Globalizing Educational Policy (Fazal Rizvi and Bob Lingard)Overall, we agree with the general position taken by the reviewer on globalization. Our agreement here means we think the reviewer has mis-read the perspective we will take in the book. For example, the book will explicitly not be written from a ‘globalization equals Americanisation’ perspective. This is only one effect of globalization and is one which is resisted politically in a number of ways. We agree that in the current globalizing world what we see is American hegemony, given the period of the post Cold War and the as yet rise to superpowerdom of China. So American hegemony is important and American interests are often rearticulated through the policy stances of international organizations such as the OECD, World Bank and so on. However, we as see the concept of globalization as working both as an ideology in a normative sense, as well as in a social scientific analytical fashion. Bourdieu on this very point has described globalization as a performative concept, working to elide meanings other than those of neo-liberal politics and economics and in effect seeking to create that of which it speaks. Yet, Bourdieu also argues that the concept can be used in a social science analytical fashion as well, and in relation to politics of opposition to such a reading and politics. Politically, of course, there has been the rise of anti-globalization social movements and politics. These have been nicely encapsulated in Held and McGrew’s book, Globalization/Anti-Globalization. The authors of the proposal are aware of these politics and debates and will work to deconstruct the performative, meaning eliding use of globalization. So, to reiterate, we agree with the stance on globalization taken by the reviewer, rather than sitting in opposition to it. All of our writings on globalization in education have worked with these discursive and analytical politics and a much broader definition of globalization than equating it simple with Americanization or American hegemony. We also see the tensions in effects to do with policy convergence and divergence in education across nations. We will not be arguing a simple policy convergence argument, nor a powerless state in the face of globalization (which in our view tends to be the position taken by Joel Spring, whose work is referred to by the reviewer). (See, for example, Rizvi and Lingard (2000) ‘Globalization and Education: Complexities and Contingencies’, Educational Theory, 50 (4), pp.419-426 and Lingard and Rizvi (1998) Globalization and the Fear of Homogenisation in Education’, Change: Transformations in Education, 1 (1), pp.62-71.)We agree with the argument about the differential effects of globalization on different nations, which are placed differently in a global geo-politics and economically. Some are subject to structural adjustment policies demanded by international lending agencies such as the World Bank, while others, particularly the nations of the global north, are free from such pressures. In considering these differential impacts of globalization, what Appadurai has called ‘vernacular globalization’, we will draw on an extensive range of examples. We will include China and India in our examples, and also analyse the effects of globalization in some nations based on Islam. Furthermore, our own research has given emphasis to the rise of a global educational policy community in education (eg Taylor, Rizvi, Lingard and Henry (1997), Educational Policy and the Politics of Change and Henry, Lingard, Rizvi and Taylor (2001) The OECD, Globalization and Education Policy), that is, organizations and individuals whose work and ideas have real effects within the educational polices of nation states. Thus in addition to considering the differential effects of globalization upon educational policy and policy processes within education, we will also pay attention to an emergent global educational policy community, globalized policy discourses in education and the work of international agencies.We believe we can write the excellent book on globalizing educational policy the reviewer refers to and stress our general agreement with the points raised by the reviewer."Overall, this compendium is an excellent read and offers a lot of conceptual tools to make sense of globalizing education policy. I would highly recommend it to faculty and graduate students in the fields of educational policy, sociology of education, comparative and international education, higher education, and curriculum studies. The book has inspired me to see the complexity and transformative possibilities in analyzing and responding to education policy dilemmas in a globalized context."—Comparative Education Review'This book is one that resonates with the recent work of other scholars who have also called for new approaches to understanding and promoting educational change. Rizvi and Lingard’s work is both instructive and provocative bringing key issues to light, challenging assumptions, and pointing out that as the social, political, and economic contexts of education shift, so to must theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of educational policies.' - Minori Nagahara, Journal of Educational Change'Theoretically, the book is grounded in some of the rich theories of culture and society developed over the past few decades amid the ‘‘linguistic turn’’ that has challenged simple ‘‘rationalist’’ ideas of influence and power. Key theorists include Michel Foucault and Nikolas Rose with their concept of ‘‘governmentality,’’ Pierre Bourdieu and his vision of social ‘‘fields,’’ Arjun Appadurai with his nuanced interpretation of neo-colonialism, and David Held with his broad-ranging discussions of globalization. Given Rizvi and Lingard’s interest in nuanced intersections between culture, language, and material contexts, their chosen theoretical frameworks seem quite relevant.' - Aaron Schutz, Journal of Educational ChangeTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisTaking a broad approach, Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care relates issues of early childhood to the sociology of childhood, philosophy, ethics, political science and other fields and to an analysis of the world we live in today. It places these issues in a global context and draws on work from Canada, Sweden and Italy, including the world famous nurseries in Reggio Emilia.Working with postmodern ideas, this book questions the search to define and measure quality in the early childhood field and its tendency to reduce philosophical issues of value to purely technical and managerial issues of expert knowledge and measurement.With a brand new Preface to this classic text, the authors argue that there are other ways than the ''discourse of quality'' for understanding and evaluating early childhood pedagogical work and relate these to alternative ways of understanding early childhood itself and the purposes of early childhood institutions.Trade Review'The authors of this book offer a wonderful provocation for early childhood professionals. Reading it, I found myself encountering new and irresistible ideas—ones that led me to my own playful tangents. The places the authors describe that are ‘beyond quality’ open exciting and challenging possibilities for the field of ECE.' (Elizabeth Jones, Faculty Emerita, Human Development, Pacific Oaks College, California). 'Beyond Quality in Early Childhood Education and Care is a book for reflection, dialogue, and exchange on the ideological, contextual, cultural and existential diversity of childhoods across the globe. It questions modernist Minority (Western) World perspectives and the approach to early childhood education and care to which they give rise.' (Bame Nsamenang, Head, University Cooperation Division, University of Bamenda, Cameroon; and Director, Human Development Resource Centre).'This is a book that is strongly innovative and uncomfortable for those who would like to see the ideas of quality and assessment consolidated in our society and in contemporary western culture. It is a ‘good book’. Good because it is the product of dialogue and because it offers itself not only for consent, but also for dissent and negotiation by its non-dogmatic tone. Readers will feel welcomed, listened to and respected in their opinions, even when those opinions are in opposition to the authors.’ (Carlina Rinaldi, President, Reggio Children – Centre Loris Malaguzzi Foundation, Italy)Table of ContentsChapter 1: What this Book is About Chapter 2: Theoretical Perspectives: Modernity and Postmodernity, Power and Ethics Chapter 3: Constructing Early Childhood: What Do We Think It Is?

Book SynopsisHelping Doctoral Students Write offers a proven approach to effective doctoral writing. By treating research as writing and writing as research, the authors offer pedagogical strategies for doctoral supervisors that will assist the production of well-argued and lively dissertations. It is clear that many doctoral candidates find research writing complicated and difficult, but the advice they receive often glosses over the complexities of writing and/or locates the problem in the writer. Kamler and Thomson provide a highly effective framework for scholarly work that is located in personal, institutional and cultural contexts. The pedagogical approach developed in the book is based on the notion of writing as a social practice. This approach allows supervisors to think of doctoral writers as novices who need to learn new ways with words as they enter the discursive practices of scholarly communities. This involves learning sophisticated writing practices wiTrade Review"The book is very readable and engagingly written. The use of quotations from doctoral students and supervisors make the book lively and the inclusion of figures and highlighted text effectively prevents monotonous presentation. Supported by ten pages of rich and state-of-the art studies on the topic, this book is not only a firm platform but also a reliable springboard for supervision." - Franklin Obeng-Odoom, an early career supervisor, is the Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow at School of the Built Environment, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.

Book SynopsisWINNER 2016 Grawemeyer Award in EducationHelping students develop their ability to deliberate political questions is an essential component of democratic education, but introducing political issues into the classroom is pedagogically challenging and raises ethical dilemmas for teachers. Diana E. Hess and Paula McAvoy argue that teachers will make better professional judgments about these issues if they aim toward creating political classrooms, which engage students in deliberations about questions that ask, How should we live together?Based on the findings from a large, mixed-method study about discussions of political issues within high school classrooms, The Political Classroom presents in-depth and engaging cases of teacher practice. Paying particular attention to how political polarization and social inequality affect classroom dynamics, Hess and McAvoy promote a coherent plan for providing students with a nonpartisan political education and for improving thTrade ReviewThe authors raise many questions about ethical problems teachers confront, not only in terms of what issues they choose to discuss but also how they ensure that all sides of a controversy are presented fairly and decide whether to reveal their own political leanings. Learning to respect those who have different perspectives is an important component of students’ experience, as is using evidence appropriately. Readers of this book will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of these complex issues. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.- S. Sugarman, emerita, Vermont State Colleges, CHOICE, June 2015How can schools prepare students to become knowledgeable and engaged citizens of our democracy? Hess and McAvoy provide a deeply researched and philosophically sophisticated answer to that challenge. In our increasingly polarized time, McAvoy and Hess show how the need for education in deliberation about controversial public issues has never been more urgent. This brilliant book could not be more timely.- Lawrence Blum, Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Education and professor of philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, BostonThis astute, rigorously researched, original, and timely book describes how teachers can effectively teach civic knowledge and skills in today’s highly polarized times. The vivid and engaging portraits of teachers and schools and the seamless ways in which it blends theory, research, and practice make this book a unique and compelling contribution to the literature on the civic engagement of youth. It is an indispensible reference for educators who want to strengthen democracy and increase the civic literacy and participation of youth. - James A. Banks, Kerry and Linda Killinger Endowed Chair in Diversity Studies and Founding Director, Center for Multicultural Education University of Washington, SeattleThe Political Classroom uses powerful research to reveal the complexities of engaging students in "best practice" discussions of the controversial political issues they will confront throughout their lives. In doing so, Hess and McAvoy show how important teachers are to fulfilling the promise of democracy in our time.- Michelle M. Herczog, President, National Council for the Social StudiesHess and McAvoy’s research is forward-looking in two important senses: in its focus on the political education of youth, who will soon be voters and otherwise civically engaged adults; and because it offers badly needed, evidenced-based guidance about how we can cultivate citizens who thoughtfully reflect upon their values, and who respectfully engage with others across differences of opinion.- Anne Newman, Research Director at the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society at Stanford University Table of ContentsPart I: Context, Evidence, and AimsPart II: Cases of PracticePart III: Professional Judgment

Book SynopsisThis book opens the door to the effects of intellectual, educational, and economic colonization of young children throughout the world. Using a postcolonial lens on current educational practices, the authors hope to lift those practices out of reproducing traditional power structures and push our thinking beyond the adult/child dichotomy into new possibilities for the lives that are created with children.Trade Review"Childhood and Postcolonization is a new call to reconceptualize knowledge, policy, theory, and action about childhood/family/education. By focusing on childhood and postcolonial critiques, Cannella and Viruru bring new methodologies of critique to the truth of universal childhood and the privileging of developmental and educational discourses from the 'west' that are badly needed. The opening up of new possibilities for thinking and action through their sophisticated, yet clear presentations and discussions is a new major contribution to the field of critical cultural studies of childhood." -- Marianne Bloch, University of Wisconsin-Madison"This book offers a powerful framing of issues of colonialism, long embedded but infrequently confronted, in early childhood research and advocacy. The authors resist offering postcolonial formulas or 'new truths' and instead open space for critical dialogue on the legacies of colonialism in our field. Raising a number of compelling questions and written in an accessible style, this book confronts issues of power and privilege in the study of childhood and our practice of child advocacy." -- Beth Blue Swadener, Arizona State UniversityTable of ContentsIntroduction: Childhood and the Postcolonial (Who we are and why we address these issues) I.

Book SynopsisThis book shows how schools can--and must--develop expertise in learning variation (understanding how different kinds of minds learn) and apply this knowledge to classroom instruction in order to address the chronic learning challenges and achievement gap faced by millions of students. Barringer shows how using what we know about learning variation with a focus on discovering learning strengths, not just deficits, can help schools create plans for success for those students who often find it elusive. The book specifically addresses how school leaders can incorporate this knowledge into instructional practice and school-level policy through various professional development strategies. Schools for All Kinds of Minds: Provides a readable synthesis of the latest research from neuroscience, cognitive science, and child and adolescent development as it relates to understanding learning and its many variations.
