Book SynopsisAn analysis of social mobility in contemporary French literature that offers a new perspective on figures who move between social classes. Social climbers have often been the core characters of novels. Their position between traditional tiers in society makes them touchstones for any political and literary moment, including our own. Morgane Cadieu's study looks at a certain kind of social climber in contemporary French literature whom she calls the parvenant. Taken from the French term parvenu, which refers to one who is newly arrived, a parvenant is a character who shuttles between social groups. A parvenant may become part of a new social class but devises literary ways to come back, constantly undoing any fixed idea of social affiliation. Focusing on recent French novels and autobiographies, On Both Sides of the Tracks speaks powerfully to issues of emancipation and class. Cadieu offers a fresh critical look at tales of social mobility in the work of Annie Ernaux, Kaoutar HarcTrade Review“Incredibly wide-ranging and rich, On Both Sides of the Tracks stands to be the definitive account of social mobility and class in contemporary French literature. Cadieu tracks the figure of the parvenant—the social climber whose climbing can never really end—as it works its way through and reshapes contemporary French literature, transforming social mobility from phenomenon into experience, one that is fundamentally rooted in language. Cadieu incites us to read these texts as closely as their authors read their own lives.” * Annabel L. Kim, Harvard University *“On Both Sides of the Tracks shows the narrative of social mobility—at a time of increased immobility—to be an intimate, if ambivalent, structure of literary fiction and nonfiction. The intimacy works both ways: the parvenant is also an uncanny figure for the reader-writer, the class-crossing ‘I’/eye imparting to reality the force of the literary. Cadieu attends exquisitely to how details, language, style, tropes, punctuation, and intertexts encode the unending effort and self-consciousness of socio-symbolic passing. One can no longer write about class and the novel without engaging with this fine work.” * Thangam Ravindranathan, Brown University *“In this lucid, well-documented, and engaging text, Cadieu shows that social mobility constitutes an important frame in terms of which contemporary French society and literature can be apprehended and that the figure of the (upwardly mobile) transclass individual provides an excellent entryway into the French landscape and literary field.” * Gerald Prince, University of Pennsylvania *Table of ContentsNote on Citations Introduction: The Parvenant 1 Rastignac Redux 2 The Muddy Parvenant, Then and Now 3 The Transient Body of the Transclass 4 Self-Maid?

Book SynopsisA rich view of inclusive education at the intersection of language, literacy, and technology—drawing on case study research in a diverse full-inclusion US school before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic.Despite advancing efforts at integration, the segregation of students with disabilities from their nondisabled peers persists. In the United States, 34 percent of all students with disabilities spend at least 20 percent of their instructional time in segregated classrooms. For students with intellectual or multiple disabilities, segregated placement soars to 80 percent. In Voices on the Margins, Yenda Prado and Mark Warschauer provide an ethnography of an extraordinary full-inclusion public charter school in the western United States—Future Visions Academy. And they ask: What does it mean to be inclusive in today’s schools with their increasingly pervasive use of digital technologies?Voices on the Margins examines the ways di

Book SynopsisMeasuring Up demystifies educational testing—from MCAS to SAT to WAIS. Bringing statistical terms down to earth, Koretz takes readers through the most fundamental issues that arise in educational testing and shows how they apply to some of the most controversial issues in education today, from high-stakes testing to special education.Trade ReviewThis is the most easily understood presentation I know of the deceptively complex world of educational testing, and the most important current issues. It should be welcomed with relief by a very broad audience, much of which is ignored in most presentations on testing. I would love to see it used in courses for virtually all future administrators, policy makers, and teachers. Anyone directing testing programs in school districts and states will find this invaluable when they have to explain what they're doing. This book is badly needed. -- H.D. Hoover, Professor Emeritus, University of IowaHere we are, lost in Testland, bombarded by data about how well or poorly we or our kids have done on the latest exam. What do test results mean? Every expert has a different explanation. What to do? Read Daniel Koretz's new book, as soon as possible. Never have I seen a clearer or more sensible exploration of our testing frenzy. I thought one chapter, "What Influences Test Scores, or How Not to Pick a School," was all by itself worth the price of the book. Read it and relax. -- Jay Mathews, Washington Post education reporter and columnistDeconstructs the complexities of achievement testing for the educational layman. * Education Week *Every parent who uses league tables as a basis for placing his or her child in a school, whether in the U.S. or anywhere else, should read this book. -- Lee Harvey * Times Higher Education Supplement *Test scores are objective, scientific, and easy to understand--so what's the problem? It turns out that there are a lot of problems and that we would do well to try and understand them better. Daniel Koretz's Measuring Up is an excellent place to start. The book is hard to classify. It is too sophisticated to be called a primer. There are no equations, so it can't be a measurement book. (Also, it is entertaining to read.) It says good things about testing and test use and takes apart some arguments of testing opponents, so it can't be an anti-testing book. But, it raises profound challenges to the interpretation of score trends on high-stakes tests, to the meaning of achievement trend and gap reports in terms of percent proficient, to the interpretation of crossnational achievement comparisons, and to popular assumptions about testing of students in special populations (including some assumptions written into law). So, it can't be a protesting book, either...He does a great service by clarifying measurement principles in the context of widespread testing uses and misuses. -- Edward Haertel * Science *Koretz has written the book on educational testing most educators and educational policy makers have been waiting for, even if they don't know it. In a culture defined by whether one is attacking or defending the messenger, the author's endeavor is to explain what educational testing does, and does not, reveal about how students and their schools are performing...For someone looking for a good lay explanation of essential topics such as score reliability and validity, measurement error, and the relationship between high-stakes testing and score inflation, this is the book. The style is eminently readable and the topics are profoundly important. -- D. E. Tanner * Choice *The best explanation of standardized testing is Daniel Koretz's Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us. -- Diane Ravitch * New York Review of Books *Table of Contents* Prologue * If Only It Were So Simple * What Is a Test? * What We Measure: Just How Good Is the Sample? * The Evolution of American Testing * What Test Scores Tell Us about American Kids * What Influences Test Scores, or How Not to Pick a School * Error and Reliability: How Much We Don't Know What We're Talking About * Reporting Performance: Standards and Scales * Validity * Inflated Test Scores * Adverse Impact and Bias * Testing Students with Special Needs * Sensible Uses of Tests * Notes * Acknowledgments * Index

Book SynopsisProviding individual and group counseling for secondary school students was once a major priority for secondary school counselors. However, many guidance programs have abandoned this role, and counselors have become quasi-administrators who spend most of their time scheduling students for classes, managing mandated testing programs, resolving discipline issues, and advising students on college admissions. Counseling students on personal and well-being issues takes up a very small part of the time. In many school districts, social workers, student assistance counselors, and school psychologists have taken over the counseling duties. Critical issues are now causing school leaders to consider reorganizing school guidance staff so there is a cadre of counselors trained and charged with the mission of providing individual and group counseling for troubled teens. First, the number of troubled teens arriving at the schoolhouse door looking for help has exploded. Second, budget cuts have eliminated or drastically curtailed many of the services of social workers, student assistance counselors, and psychologists. The result? Many once open doors for help are now closed, and schools' counseling services are failing many students, parents, and educators in need of intervention. This book provides a new model in which well-trained counselors can once again regain their historic role in counseling troubled teens, parents, and training staff and students on the front lines to act -- not look the other way -- when they observe a student heading towards the margins of school life.Trade ReviewOnce again, Dr. Fibkins proposes a model for change that, although similar to earlier paradigms, addresses the complex needs and demands of 21st century students. One can only hope that preparatory programs and professional development opportunities will instill appropriate values and focus in counselors-to-be and counselors-in-fact; at the same time, I urge administrators to take this book to heart and to allow their staff to do what they are meant to do. -- Stuart Rachlin, Phd, superintendent of schools, Eastern Long Island; data administrator technology integration specialistTable of ContentsChapter 1: The Impact of the Demise of Personal Counseling Services in Our Schools Chapter 2: The Role of Personal Counseling of Troubled Students: Never Gained a Foothold in School Guidance Program Chapter 3: A Profession in Search of a Model for Change: Offering Solutions that are not Really Solutions Chapter 4: The Profession is Not Dead, Yet: Getting Some Help from the American School Counselor Association National Model Chapter 5: The Personal Counselor as an Observer, and Reporter of Student Behavior Chapter 6: The Role of the Personal Counselor as Advisor to the Principal Chapter 7: Selling the Personal Counseling Role with a Successful Intervention Program Chapter 8: Personal Counselors cannot solve all the Problems of Troubled Students: Skilled allies are Needed to join the Effort References

Informed and inspiring, Reading Teachers accessibly demonstrates how teachers who are motivated, engaged and reflective readers themselves, can develop new understandings of reading for pleasure and make a difference to young learners.Drawing on a range of research evidence, including studies on reading teachers, dis/engaged boy readers, student teachers as readers and work with over 150 schools developing communities of readers, this book provides an accessible overview of international research alongside a highly practical classroom focus. Combining the insights of academics with 24 reading teachers in co-authored chapters, the book includes: Case studies of how practitioners have used research to inform and improve their practice âIn conversationâ dialogues between educators about classroom pracTrade Review"Underpinned by the editors’ considerable research and enriched by experienced educators, this book makes a powerful argument that being a Reading Teacher does not just mean being a teacher who reads, but one who reflects on the relationships between their own reading and school reading, models what it’s like to be a reader, and takes time to get to know the readers in their class. This accessible and persuasive book is a must for all beginning and experienced teachers. And of course, it is a great read." Professor Cathy Burnett, Sheffield Hallam University, UK "Reading Teachers is a brilliant book that will fan the flames of the ‘reading fire’ and help schools nurture passionate, engaged and motivated readers." Jon Biddle, Teacher and English Leader "This highly accessible book will further practitioners’ understanding of effective approaches for encouraging reading for pleasure, including what it really means to be a Reading Teacher and why that is so important. The art of providing meaningful opportunities for children to become engaged, volitional readers is brought to life through real-world case-studies that cannot fail to inspire teachers and librarians whatever their school, context or role."

Book SynopsisDraw on Your Emotions is a bestselling resource to help people of all ages express, communicate and deal more effectively with their emotions through drawing. Built around five key themes, each section contains a simple picture exercise with clear objectives, instructions and suggestions for development. The picture activities have been carefully designed to help ease the process of both talking about feelings and exploring life choices, by trying out alternatives safely on paper. This will help to create clarity and new perspectives as a step towards positive action.Offering a broad range of exercises which can be adapted for any ability or age from middle childhood onwards, this unique book explores a range of emotions surrounding a person s important life experiences, key memories, relationships, best times, worst times and who they are as a person. This is an essential resource for therapists, educators, counsellors and anyone who engages other people in conversaTrade 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 ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis book was chosen by The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International as one of its Top 5 Must Reads for 2013. DKG is organized in 18 countries around the world and works to promote professional and personal growth for women educators and excellence in education. Teachers step to the front of the classroom every day and do their darnedest to capture their student's attention and keep it. But so many things get in the way: unruly kids, disagreeable parents, homes so broken it is beyond imagining, bureaucracy and red tape, the influence of technology and the media, a culture that celebrates misguided values, and most intrusively, government regulations that purport to improve teaching and learning, but in fact, are destroying it. The Teachers' Lounge (Uncensored) gives you a peek inside that classroom. Kelly Flynn takes readers by the hand and says, Come inside my school, walk a mile in my halls, and then we'll talk about education reform.With breathtaking clarity and a healthy dose Trade ReviewIt’s funny, edgy and poignant, all right — but The Teachers’ Lounge is much more than that: it’s real. And hands-on reality is a rare commodity in much of what the media tells Americans about their schools, teachers and learning in 2012. This delightful — but profound — book will ring teachers’ chimes. The vignettes and Flynn’s on-target observations are gritty and full of the kind of wisdom that can only be earned by years in the classroom and an eye for truth. She has the ability to take an unremarkable incident in the hallway or classroom and deftly turn it into a nugget of perception about kids, parents or our entire education system. Which is why the book deserves a much wider audience than the education community. Flynn draws insights from the kinds of ordinary events that feed conversations at the grocery store and in the bleachers at Little League games: parent-teacher conferences, high school seniors’ last day, the girl who gets grabbed in the hallway and the sugar high that plagues teachers on the day after Halloween. But Flynn goes much deeper, putting major policy initiatives into terms that the general public –and the legislators who make the policies — can understand. The Teachers’ Lounge (Uncensored): A Funny, Edgy, Poignant Look at Life in the Classroom is a genuine gift for anyone paying attention to public education: a readable and down-to-earth analysis of the intersection of teaching practice with policy. Recommended. -- Nancy Flanagan, Education Consultant, “Teacher in a Strange Land” blog at Education WeekFlynn has a gift for presenting the annoyances and failures of modern education in a light-hearted and understanding way. She shows you what is wrong and how it might be fixed, without sermonizing. -- Jay Mathews, education columnist, Washington Post and author of Work Hard. Be Nice.Thank you, Kelly Flynn. Told from the inside out she captures what makes being a teacher so compelling as well as what drives us mad, the humorous as well as the tragic. She reminds me of why I miss it. -- Deborah Meier, author of In Schools We Trust: Creating Communities of Learning in an Era of Testing and Standardization and Bridging Differences blog at Education WeekAn inconvenient reality check for policy makers, an insightful tale for outsiders, and a hopeful message for all, Kelly Flynn reports from the school, where learning happens (and sometimes doesn’t). Flynn’s stories show what matters, who cares, and why reform policies from government offices don’t work and test scores are not the right goal of education. This is a must read for all interested in improving education and concerned about America’s future. -- Yong Zhao Ph.D., Foundations Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas, author of "Counting What Counts: Reframing Education Outcomes"," Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon: Why China has the Best (and worst) Education in the World", and more.This delightful — but profound — book will ring teachers’ chimes. The vignettes and Flynn’s on-target observations are gritty and full of the kind of wisdom that can only be earned by years in the classroom and an eye for truth.She has the ability to take an unremarkable incident in the hallway or classroom and deftly turn it into a nugget of perception about kids, parents or our entire education system. -- Nancy Flanagan, Education Consultant, “Teacher in a Strange Land” blog at Education WeekKelly Flynn's book takes us inside our most challenging schools, and shows us the sometimes exasperating, sometimes exhilarating world students and teachers inhabit every day. Her detailed stories help reveal the flaws in the quick fixes, and help us understand what teaching is all about. -- Anthony Cody, author, “Living in Dialogue” blog at Education WeekEvery teacher should give a copy of this book to the mayor, to the school board, and to political representatives. It will astonish them and maybe increase their humility quotient. Written from inside classrooms, it is real. It is also fast-moving, funny, poignant, occasionally shocking. Most important, the book is also hopeful, showing that whatever her successes and failures, every year, every class, every lesson, every student, the teacher comes back, certain she can do it better. -- Susan Ohanian, educator, activist, and author of "What Happened to Recess and Why Are Our Children Struggling in Kindergarten?"Kelly Flynn is a powerhouse and must have been a great classroom teacher. I would have loved to work with her when I taught high school. Kelly always keeps her ‘eyes on the prize,’ the ability of teachers to influence the lives of their students. What is best about this book is that she is able to remain positive and hopeful about teaching despite all the difficulties of the job and the political and corporate assault on public schools, students, and especially teachers. I want to thank Kelly for reminding me why we chose to teach. -- Alan Singer, director, secondary education social studies department of teaching, literacy and leadership, Hofstra University, New YorkThe media needs to spend time in the classroom and see what a teacher is up against today and tell that story without equivocation.This is what Kelly Flynn is writing about. -- Frosty Troy, founder and editor of The Oklahoma ObserverWith candor and humor, Kelly Flynn courageously tells the absurd-but-true stories from the public school classroom. Readers will come away understanding that teachers do what they do not for the merit pay or ‘summers off,’ but out of a profound sense of purpose, a commitment to education, and love. -- Eileen Button, author of The Waiting Place: Learning to Appreciate Life's Little DelaysTable of ContentsChapter One – Teachers From first impressions and second chances to nuked fish and being punked. Chapter Two – Students From facing resistance and trashed bathrooms to cologne in the eye and getting skunked. Chapter Three – Parents From absenteeism and grade inflation to prom paparazzi and the X-rated boogie. Chapter Four – Community From school safety and shuffled children to life in the fishbowl and dancing on cars. Chapter Five – Policy From failing schools and merit pay to quirky brilliance and cleavage.

Book SynopsisContributors from many countries share their insights about effective educational programs for people in prison and show what the United States can learn from the models and struggles beyond its borders. Countries around the world have disparate experiences with education in prison. For decades, the United States has been locked in a pattern of exceptionally high mass incarceration. Though education has proven to be an impactful intervention, its role and the level of support it receives vary widely. As a result, effective opportunities for incarcerated people to reroute their lives during and after incarceration remain diffuse and inefficient. This volume highlights unique contributions from the field of education in prison globally. In this volume, academics and practitioners highlight new approaches and interesting findings from carceral interventions across twelve countries. From a college degree-granting program in Mexico to educational best practices in Norway and Belgium that support successful reentry, innovations in education are being developed in prison spaces around the world. As contributors from many countries share their insights about providing effective educational programs to incarcerated people, the United States can learn from the models and struggles beyond its borders.Trade Review“An essential practical, theoretical and evidence-informed resource about the question of education in prison. This book offers hope to those jurisdictions mired in high rates of incarceration or challenging environments in prison that other visions for both education and other models of the penal system are not only possible, but already exist.” -- Aislinn O’Donnell, Maynooth University“This important volume brings a much-needed international perspective to the study and practice of higher education in prisons. Practitioners will find a wealth of information to validate, inform, and inspire their own work here, but it is often what goes unsaid or is assumed in the countries represented in this volume that shows us glimpses of the possible—what education in prison can and should be.” -- Kurtis Tanaka, Justice Initiatives, Ithaka S+RTable of ContentsList of IllustrationsForewordJustin WatsonAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: What We Can Learn from Education in Prison in Comparative ContextMneesha Gellman and Justin McDevittPART I: CONTEXTUALIZING EDUCATION IN PRISON1: The Long History of College-in-PrisonMax Kenner2: The Work of Restoration: How to Educate When Education FailsMaria K.

Book SynopsisThere is a behavioural nirvana: one that is calm, purposeful and respectful. Where poor pupil behaviour is as rare as a PE teacher in trousers and where relationships drive achievement. Annoyingly and predictably, the road is hard and the ride bumpy and littered with cliches - but it is achievable. And when you get there it is a little slice of heaven. A revolution in behaviour can be exciting, dynamic and, at times, pleasantly terrifying. But revolution is short-lived. In After the Adults Change Paul shows you that, after the behaviour of the adults has changed, there is an opportunity to go wider and deeper: to accelerate relational practice, decrease disproportionate punishment and fully introduce restorative, informed and coaching-led cultures. Paul delves into the possibilities for improvement in pupil behaviour and teacher-pupil relationships, drawing further upon a hugely influential behaviour management approach whereby expectations and boundaries are exemplified by calm, consistent and regulated adults.

Book SynopsisThis collection was written by educators who are engaging in multi- and interdisciplinary education and are led by curiosities encompassing the collaborative nature of cognitive and kinesthetic engagement and awareness. The chapters are designed as sources for inspiration, replication, and adaptation. They are a place to start or continue. Each chapter, in varying modalities, addresses interdisciplinary course development and implementation in institutions of higher education. The common themes that emerge in the collection include navigating administrative systems and solving the challenges encountered when crossing departments or colleges, whether it be regarding listing of courses or the intricacies of course load on each professor. Many chapters also provide detailed information on the nuts and bolts of the specific course or courses taught, including syllabi, lesson examples, and both formal and informal assessments implemented. Multiple case studies are included in this collection, with many chapters providing specific examples of students’ work. Contributors candidly offer discussions of failures and successes of their interdisciplinary collaborations, be it in course design, lesson planning or complications brought in by unforeseen pandemics. Most chapters end with a section entitled ‘Lessons learned’, where experiences from the field provide opportunities for growth and continued exploration. Readers can follow the book from cover to cover or dip in, finding the chapters that serve a particular project or teaching endeavour. The varying writing styles and topics are in direct relationship with the exact nature of the inspiration for this text. The over-arching themes of collaboration (diverse backgrounds, ideas, and skill sets, multidisciplinarity, and interdisciplinarity) are the consistent touchstones that create a thematic self-guided journey of exploration through the book. The chapters offer readers guidance and encouragement to implement some of the approaches described, and inspiration to forge their own paths in the world of multi- and interdisciplinary teaching and research. The depth and breadth of collaborative possibilities are exciting, and the editors’ goal is to spark further experimentation. An excellent and practical resource for any educator hoping to teach his or her subject matter through an interdisciplinary approach and for all courses revolving around topics of pedagogy. The key audience will be graduate students, and teachers in all stages of education from primary to higher education.
