Sage Publications Ltd Diversity, Equality and Achievement in Education
Book SynopsisMost classrooms contain children from a variety of backgrounds, where home culture, religious beliefs and the family′s economic situation all impact on achievement.

This book looks at real issues that affect teachers in the classroom, and examines a variety of influences affecting child development. It provides you with the theoretical and practical information you need to ensure you understand the complex factors which affect the children in your care, and it encourages good, thoughtful teaching. Dealing with some of the less widely addressed aspects of diversity and inclusion, the book considers: - children who are asylum seekers - the notion of ′pupil voice′ - what diversity and equality mean in practice - gender and achievement - looked-after children - social class - disability - ethnicity and whiteness This book is essential reading for any education student looking at diversity and inclusion, and for teachers in role looking for advice on how to meet the professional standards.

Commonwealth Secretariat Women and the Teaching Profession: Exploring the Feminisation Debate
The debates on women and teaching have been wide ranging and, in some cases, contentious. They have included reviews of why the profession can become gender imbalanced in favour of women, the impacts of this on learning processes and student education, and the implications on women’s overall empowerment within society and the economy. Most of the research to date has concentrated on developed countries, such as the UK, Australia and Canada, where women have been a significant majority in the teaching workforce for decades. This study looks at how the teacher feminisation debate applies in developing countries. Drawing on the experiences of Dominica, Lesotho, Samoa, Sri Lanka and India, it provides a strong analytical understanding of the role of female teachers in the expansion of education systems, and the surrounding gender equality issues. Co-published with UNESCO.Review‘an important contribution to scholarship on women and the teaching profession, and indeed to the wider field of gender and education.’ * Gender & Development, Volume 20, Issue 2, 2012, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13552074.2012.687230 *Table of ContentsForeword Tables and figures Acronyms and abbreviations PART ONE: MULTI-COUNTRY ANALYSIS 1.

Network Educational Press Ltd The New Learning Revolution 3rd Edition
Book SynopsisThis is the definitive book about the biggest changes in education, schooling and teaching since the school classroom was invented almost 300 years ago. The vision and power of the original "Learning Revolution" remains, but the authors now address current developments such as: how instant information and interactive technology are finally forcing a complete rethink of everything we've ever believed about education; how new interlocking networks are creating dramatic new models for learning; and how new teaching methods are revolutionizing schooling in pockets around the world. Dryden, the award-winning television and radio talk show host, is just completing a series of television programmes on new methods of learning and Vos is putting the finishing touches to a seven-year doctoral research project into the same subject. The combined power of these two dynamic authors is highly compelling!Trade Review"A masterpiece" Sir Christopher Ball in his new forewordTable of ContentsPreface Foreword by Sir Christopher Ball The converging revolutions The network revolution The talent revolution The teach-yourself revolution The creative revolution The start-right revolution The early-childhood revolution The teaching revolution The learning-styles revolution The catch-up revolution The high school revolution The corporate revolution The digital revolution How to reinvent the world Chapter reference notes Acknowledgements and thanks Recommended resources Index Author biographies

Baylor University Press The Grammar of Our Civility: Classical Education
Book SynopsisThe pragmatic demands of American life have made higher education's sustained study of ancient Greece and Rome an irrelevant luxury - and this despite the fact that American democracy depends so heavily on classical language, literature, and political theory. In The Grammar of Our Civility, Lee T. Pearcy chronicles how this came to be. Pearcy argues that classics never developed a distinctly American way of responding to distinctly American social conditions. Instead, American classical education simply imitated European models that were designed to underwrite European culture. The Grammar of Our Civility also offers a concrete proposal for the role of classical education, one that takes into account practical expectations for higher education in twenty-first century America.Trade ReviewWearing his immense learning lightly, Lee T. Pearcy cogently and eloquently synthesizes a vast amount of previous scholarship to envision a new form of American classical education. --Judith P. Hallett, University of Maryland, College ParkThe Grammar of Our Civility is a cri de coeur on behalf of reestablishing classical studies at the core of a new curriculum, one that draws on the distinctly American contact with the classical tradition. --Ward W. Briggs, Jr., Carolina Distinguished Professor of Classics, University of South CarolinaTable of Contents Foreword 1. The Grammar of Our Civility 2. The American Dialect 3.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Peer Review of Teaching: A Sourcebook
Book SynopsisThe new edition of this bestselling book builds on the author’s extensive administrative and consulting experience as well as scholarship on faculty rewards. It includes additional discussion of important foundational issues as well as practical forms and ideas gleaned from disciplinary groups and campuses throughout the nation. Like the first edition of Peer Review of Teaching, this new edition is offered in the hope that providing examples and suggestions will not reduce the important work of peer review to mere forms or rigid procedures, but will empower faculty to articulate criteria and standards, perform the reviews systematically and thoughtfully, and realize that engaging in peer review is an approachable and worthwhile professional task. Updated to reflect the emphasis on student learning as the ultimate goal of college teaching, it incorporates new ideas and references from the literature. The most notable change in this edition is a discussion of peer review within special contexts for teaching, such as clinics, studios, and practice settings. The turn to active engagement in learning has also led to increased use of problem-based learning, the case study method, and other approaches that traditional forms for peer review do not address. Similarly, the explosion of the use of instructional technology calls for an articulation of new approaches to evaluating web-based instruction.Table of ContentsDedication. About the Author. Foreword. Preface. Part I: An Overview of Peer review. 1. Developing a rationale and Understanding of Peer Review. 2. Setting Up a System for Peer review. 3.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Education, Sustainability and the Ecological Social Imaginary: Connective Education and Global Change
Book SynopsisThis book analyses the evidence for global change, and suggests that the Earth is going through a profound transformation, caused in large part by human action. Land, oceans, polar regions and the atmosphere are all being deeply affected by the human population's lifestyle: what should the educational response be to these various aspects of global change? To answer this, the values of an ecological response are developed, leading to the notion of an 'Ecological Social Imaginary', which looks at how humans can change their way of living to one that is more in harmony with the planet that they live on and depend upon. To enable this, an ecological form of education, Connective Education, is proposed. This focuses on how the human and natural world can be connected for the benefit of humankind and all living and non-living entities, joining head, hand, heart and spirit to the web of life. It is argued that through Connective Education, a particular type of person is formed: one who is able to take their place in the human and natural world, and in this way truly connect with their planet. The book will be essential reading for those working in the fields of Education and Environmental Studies. Table of ContentsChapter 1. Introduction.- Chapter 2. Setting the Scene: Domains, Challenges and the Social Imaginary.- Chapter 3. The Modern Social Imaginary.- Chapter 4. Education in the Modern Social Imaginary.- Chapter 5.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Navigating Institutional Racism in British
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the experiences of racism encountered by academics of colour working within British universities. Situated within a critical race theory and postcolonial feminist framework, Sian thoughtfully centres the voices of the interviewed academics, and draws upon her own experiences and reflections through a critical auto-ethnography. Navigating Institutional Racism in British Universities unpacks a range of complex and challenging questions, and engages with the way in which racial politics in the academy interplay and intersect with gender. The book presents a textured narrative around the various barriers facing academics of colour, and enhances understandings of experiences around institutional racism in British universities. Alongside its conceptual and empirical contribution, it develops a series of practical recommendations to encourage and facilitate the active participation of academics of colour in British universities.
