Information Age Publishing Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective
Book SynopsisThis book answers two questions: What does the implementation of inclusive education require of a system of education and all parts of the system? How do various parts of the education system act on their commitment to inclusive educational practice? Decades after major legislation (i.e., the Civil Rights Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) made high-quality education a fundamental right for all children in the United States, the dream of diverse, inclusive, democratic schooling has yet to be realized. Nevertheless, some classrooms, schools, districts, states, and universities have made progress. Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective explores the theoretical implications of inclusive practice as well as illustrative case studies and evaluation findings from states, educator preparation programs, districts, and schools that have reframed their work around the principles of inclusive practice. Whether these organizations position the work as “social justice education,” “culturally responsive teaching,” or “inclusion,” their efforts lead in the same direction— toward higher quality and more equitable education for all. The chapters will be relevant to graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and practice of “inclusive education”. Chapters vary in their approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings, others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives. The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be accomplished.

Information Age Publishing The Red Road: Linking Diversity and Inclusion
Book SynopsisThe diversity and Inclusion movement in corporations and higher education has mostly fallen short of its most authentic goals. This is because it relies upon the dominant worldview that created and creates the problems it attempts to address. Rediscovering and applying our original Indigenous worldview offers a remedy that can bring forth a deeper and broader respect for diversity, and a different way to understand and honor it. This book offers a transformative learning opportunity for preserving diverse environments at every level, one that may be a matter of human survival.Trade ReviewPraise for: The Red Road: Linking Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives to Indigenous Worldview""Four Arrows has combined his internationally respected scholarship on Indigenous worldview with experience based story-telling to help bring forth a more effective way to actualize authentic respect for diversity, especially as it relates to transformational curricula in higher education. Had humanity begun this project long ago, Nature would not have to be bringing us back into balance so radically now."" —Tom McCallum (White Standing Buffalo,Métis/Michif-speaking elder, Cree Sundance Lodge Keeper, and author.

Equinox Publishing Ltd The Insider/Outsider Debate: New Perspectives in
Book SynopsisThe distinction between “insiders” and “outsiders” in religious studies has become an area of fruitful discussion in recent years. This anthology aims to extend that discussion by gathering newly commissioned essays from a diverse range of scholars, spanning a variety of disciplines and approaches, including ethnography, anthropology, theology and education. The result is a book that is at once accessible and readable, while remaining scholarly. The Insider/Outsider Debate has implications for numerous methodological issues in the study of religion, such as the emic/etic distinction, the distinction between religion and spirituality, the notions of “believing without belonging”, the claim to be “spiritual but not religious” and the existence of multiple, complicated, contesting religious identities. A particular focus of the volume is providing critiques of these methodological issues within the most recent academic approaches to religion – particularly models of lived and vernacular religion.Table of ContentsIntroduction Stephen E.

Berghahn Books Dreams Made Small: The Education of Papuan
Book Synopsis For the last five decades, the Dani of the central highlands of West Papua, along with other Papuans, have struggled with the oppressive conditions of Indonesian rule. Formal education holds the promise of escape from stigmatization and violence. Dreams Made Small offers an in-depth, ethnographic look at journeys of education among young Dani men and women, asking us to think differently about education as a trajectory for transformation and belonging, and ultimately revealing how dreams of equality are shaped and reshaped in the face of multiple constraints.Trade Review “Overall, Dreams Made Small is a superb ethnography in which Munro shows the rich textures of the everyday and voices of Papuans, something rarely found in dominant and political-oriented studies of the region. By focusing on Papuans’ experience in Indonesia, Jenny Munro also makes an important contribution to the crossregional studies of diasporic Papuans… Without a doubt, Munro’s book will be an important reading for those who work with issues of education and race, critical race theories, youth, citizenship and Indonesian nationalism.” • The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology (TAPJA) “A richly detailed and comprehensive portrayal of Dani students. Jenny Munro’s monograph is an important book to read for both students of Pacific anthropology and education as well as more generally.” • Journal of the Anthropological Society of Oxford “Munro's approach makes for a strong study of a people who are struggling in every way and constantly have to live with racial tensions and stigmatization…This is a courageous ethnographic study.” • Volkskunde “One of the pleasing things about this ethnography is that while we are aware of the author’s presence, there is no sense in which she is the star. Her writing style has a clarity that makes confronting the analysis inescapable. This book is a must read for those of us with an interest in Melanesian/Indonesian anthropology and political life. It should also be a starting point for those educators seeking to improve outcomes for people on the margins. Ultimately, as an ethnography, it is a gem.” • American Anthropologist “Cross-referencing Indonesian and international studies on race, sociology, education and development allows this detailed ethnography to be scaffolded by theory but never straightjacketed by it, producing a portrait of grassroots Papuan experiences in the Indonesian archipelago infrequently documented in scholarly studies.” • The Australian Journal of Anthropology “Jenny Munro’s [book] is one of the finest pieces of anthropology about West Papua by a foreign scholar in recent years… Although it is a detailed study of one segment of Papua’s complex society, Munro’s study provides critical insights into Papuan cultural identity, political aspirations.” • Anthropos “Anthropological studies based on recent field research among Papuans are few. However, Munro’s study is not merely to be welcomed because it is rare. Its importance is that it contributes significantly, and clearly, to the analysis of ethnic divisions in Indonesia and efforts by Papuans to deal with these divisions.” • Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde “This book is the honest story of Dani students, which accurately illustrates their steps towards education and fulfilling dreams of improving life quality back at home. It is a great resource for the reader to understand the position of the Papua people in Indonesia.” • Anthropological Notebooks “…a superb ethnography in which Munro shows the rich textures of the everyday and voices of Papuans, something rarely found in dominant and political-oriented studies of the region… Without a doubt, Munro’s book will be an important reading for those who work with issues of education and race, critical race theories, youth, citizenship and Indonesian nationalism.” • The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology “This excellent ethnography of the racialization of education in Indonesia describes and analyzes the prejudices suffered by Papuan Dani students with great sensitivity and empathy, weaving a very careful and intricate image of the life of students.” • Christine Jourdan, Concordia UniversityTable of Contents List of Figures and Maps Acknowledgments Introduction: New Promises, Old Problems Chapter 1.

Crown House Publishing Powerful Geography: A curriculum with purpose in
Book SynopsisIn recent years the emphasis has shifted away from a focus on pedagogy (the how of teaching) and towards curriculum (the what of teaching). Ofsted's revised inspection framework reflects this shift, and their plans to -deep dive- into subject areas - meaning that teachers and department heads now need a much greater understanding of curricular structures - leave many educators having to think about their subject in new ways. Luckily for geography teachers, however, bestselling author Mark Enser provides plenty of insightful, subject-specific guidance in this all-encompassing book. Mark explores both the purpose of the geography curriculum and its various applications in practice. He details how teachers can take their students' learning beyond the acquisition of knowledge to transform how they see the world. He also tackles the changing nature of school geography, shares a variety of case studies, and offers his take on how best to facilitate geographical enquiry and fieldwork. The first part of the book considers the issue of purpose by looking at the role of the school in society and then shows the place that geography occupies within it. It also considers the history of the subject so as to help geography teachers better understand where they stand today, and concludes by discussing how the concepts of powerful knowledge and GeoCapabilities can help them find their way again. The second part is a practical guide which illustrates how to put this theory of curriculum purpose into practice. It explores the steps which must be taken to create a powerful geography curriculum by deciding on content and places to be studied, putting the components into a sequence and then using all this to do geography. It will also discuss the extent to which teachers need to consider the future and respond to the concerns of the wider world when planning the curriculum. Suitable for department heads and classroom teachers of geography in secondary schools and subject leads in primary schools.

Berghahn Books Public Engagement and Education: Developing and
Book Synopsis The world’s collective archaeological heritage is threatened by war, development, poverty, climate change, and ignorance. To protect our collective past, archaeologists must involve the general public through interpersonal experiences that develop an interest in the field at a young age and foster that interest throughout a person’s life. Contributors to this volume share effective approaches for engaging and educating learners of all ages about archaeology and how one can encourage them to become stewards of the past. They offer applied examples that are not bound to specific geographies or cultures, but rather, are approaches that can be implemented almost anywhere.Trade Review “Beginning from the premise that, done well, archaeology can be a tool that transcends boundaries, helps to create social justice and is an excellent way of teaching cultural sensitivity, Erdman’s volume brings together case studies that combine to form a handbook for encouraging responsible engagement in archaeology and stewardship of heritage.” • Antiquity “This volume is overall well edited and illustrated. It is not only a welcome addition to the ever-growing discipline of public archaeology and education, but also a testament to the passion and creativity of these authors and educators of all walks of life. It is written in a way that makes it accessible to people of all ages… It would be an excellent addition to any educator’s toolkit and graspable to the general public.” • Heritage & Society “This book provides nuanced and reflective perspectives on archaeology education in practice; on the whole it is both theoretically-informed and grounded in real-world experience. It offers a range of viewpoints, and much that is thought-provoking… This book provides a good foundation course.” • Archäologische InformationenTable of Contents List of Tables and Figures List of Abbreviations Introduction: Opening a Dialog: Bringing Archaeology to the Public Katherine M.

UCL Press Development Education and Learning in Sri Lanka
Book SynopsisAssimilating half a century of research on Sri Lanka conducted by the author, this book offers a comprehensive examination of Sri Lanka?s education journey over the years. Sri Lanka?s early achievements in education and literacy became well-known among the international development community in the middle of the last century and were often used to benchmark progress elsewhere. Development, Education and Learning in Sri Lanka presents an illuminating narrative of changing education fortunes and inequalities, based on half a century of research conducted by Angela W. Little. This journey was undertaken in collaboration with Sri Lankan researchers island-wide in myriad communities, schools, classrooms, and education offices, through conversations with countless parents, teachers, students, community members, trade union officers, politicians, and members of local, national, and international development agencies, as well as through extensive documentary analysis. The book delineates the distinctive and changing features of the Sri Lankan education system and compares it with systems elsewhere, to offer in-depth analyses of myriad issues and challenges in a single country over an extended period, framed by shifting international discourses and comparisons with education systems elsewhere. These analyses are framed by themes in the international development discourse on education and development?some of which have been influenced by the Sri Lankan story?ranging from modernization to basic needs to sustainable development. The book promotes a message about the need to understand education and development on a country?s own terms and to place learning at the heart of education policy, situating it within broader conceptions of the purpose, values, and means of development.

Emerald Publishing Limited New Student Literacies amid COVID-19:
Book SynopsisThe COVID-19 global pandemic triggered the need to reconceptualize provisions to run an agile university at all levels.
