Cambridge University Press Schooling Across the Globe
Book SynopsisA summary of what experienced professionals have learned about schooling through 'The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study' (TIMSS) and 'The Programme for International Student Assessment' (PISA). Aimed at academics, policy-makers and those interested in large scale assessments, it lists findings signifying why schooling matters.Trade Review'This book argues convincingly that the essential determination of learning mathematics and science in school is through curriculum, the selection and implemented instruction of content and the consequent opportunities to learn. We cannot change the social and economic backgrounds of our students, but we can improve the quality and the fair distribution of their opportunities.' Richard G. Wolfe, Emeritus Professor, University of Toronto'Compulsory reading for anyone engaged in improving education. Interest in TIMSS, PIRLS and PISA shows no sign of abating - but all too often it is the headline-grabbing 'league table of nations' which is the focus of attention. There is, of course, so much more to the surveys than this. If there's a definitive account which can improve understanding of how the surveys developed to where they are today, how they compare, and what the future holds, then this is it.' Tim Oates, CBE, Group Director of Assessment Research and Development, Cambridge Assessment'International testing is an important driver of the rhetoric of educational reform. Schooling across the Globe is a great read for understanding the origins, objectives, and limitations of such assessments for school improvement.' Martin Carnoy, Stanford University Graduate School of Education, California'I am mightily impressed with this book and am not surprised given the senior author. I learned a great deal and found the 'story' of the various math assessments fascinating. The authors have done a terrific job of explaining how these assessments came about and most especially what they mean. I am most grateful for the instruction the book provided.'

Rowman & Littlefield Engaged Clinical Practice
Book SynopsisClinical experiences, supported by well-prepared mentor teachers and university-based teacher educators, are essential for developing successful teacher candidates. While the design and structure of these significant learning opportunities often vary among preparation programs, a common feature is teacher candidates work in partnered educational settings engaged in teaching that is closely aligned with coursework and in collaboration with individuals tasked with supporting their growth, development, and entry into the profession. The primary purpose of this text is to provide readers a varied set of examples from teacher preparation programs that have established effective systems, practices, and/or pedagogies to develop and support mentor teachers and university-based educators in becoming effective clinical coaches. The text endeavors to shine a bright light on those programmatic efforts shaping teacher preparation in impactful, meaningful, and sustainable ways. This text will be of Trade ReviewClinical practice is a critical part of quality educator preparation work. This text provides real examples of successful models and collaborations supported by years of research and theory. Building strong clinical partnerships with P-12 schools takes collaborative effort from all members of local education communities. The chapters describe a variety of ways to make these partnerships and practices a reality. Mentor teachers work with candidates at a crucial time in their development, and their work at the center of quality clinical preparation. Quality collaborations and partnerships bring attention to the critical work mentor teachers provide to candidates. The text demonstrates care and attention to all the aspects of clinical practice as part of quality preparation programs ensures quality teachers have the skills to support the next generation of students. -- Vince O’Neill, Accreditation Director, Council for the Accreditation of Educator PreparationThe Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) has a long history of work - both theoretical and practical - in the area of teacher preparation. Recent scholarship has turned ATE's attention to clinical practice and its impact on the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of future educators. With this two-volume set, Bernhardt, Conway, and Richardson build on prior efforts of ATE and the field to address an oft-overlooked aspect of clinically-based teacher education: the preparation of mentor teachers and university-based educators for the work of supporting teacher candidates and their learning. Chapters within this text attend to policy reports, teacher education standards, and a wide range of program designs that impact the work of teacher educators while focusing squarely on the preparation of those professionals tasked with supervising the practical, contextualized, clinically-based aspects of teacher education. This extension of the work in the field is sorely needed and will be well-received by those hoping to continually improve the education provided to teacher candidates and the resulting experiences these future educators will create for all children. -- Ryan Flessner, Associate Professor, Butler University College of EducationTable of ContentsForewordAcknowledgementsIntroduction Supporting the Development of Specialized Content Knowledge for Teaching Music, Physical Education, and Other “Specials” Improving Educator Preparation Using Asynchronous, Online Professional Development A Model of Collaboration: Mentor Teachers, Teacher Candidates, and University-Based Teacher Educators Enhancing Mentor Teachers’ Experience, Effectiveness, and Engagement Through Professional Development and University Communication Mentor Study Groups as Sites for Mentor Teacher Learning Cultivating Clinical Coaching through Collaboration Using an Online Platform to Prepare Mentor Teachers as Clinical Coaches Practice-Based Coaching to Impact Early Childhood Teacher Candidate Uptake of Evidence-Based Practice in Clinical Internship Only the Best: Ensuring High-Quality Mentors for Teacher Candidates Developing Teacher Candidates for the 21st Century: Engaging the Village About the Editors

Crown House Publishing Reclaiming the Curriculum: Specialist and
Book SynopsisBill Laar and Jackie Holderness’ Reclaiming the Curriculum examines the nature of a broad-ranging, content-rich primary school curriculum and presents case studies that exemplify how it can be effectively delivered. Many schools believe that the value of their work is undermined by a test-driven agenda that limits the breadth of the education they provide – and who can blame them? In Reclaiming the Curriculum Bill and Jackie inspire teachers to escape such narrow confines by unearthing a rich seam of case study examples from schools who are broadening their provision with specialist content that transcends the core curriculum: taking pupils into the realms of exploration and enquiry while also providing for higher attainment in the core subjects. Featuring a variety of exciting initiatives, ranging from the development of an IT-enabled collaborative learning space to the artful application of storytelling across the curriculum, this book will embolden primary schools to identify and enhance their own creative practice and more effectively prepare pupils for the tests of life, not a life of tests. The 18 case studies – written by a diverse line-up of contributors including school leaders, teachers and special-ist coaches – are sourced from a mixture of different settings and offer detailed descriptions of the initiatives’ unique backgrounds: their genesis and inspiration, their underpinning aims and objectives, and the ways in which they were resourced, realised and, eventually, evaluated. At the beginning of each chapter, Bill and Jackie briefly summarise the educa-tional value of each example of curriculum development, the significance of specific aspects and the ways in which they are likely to help maintain full and relevant learning. Each case study then presents the contributors’ first-hand perspectives as they: describe in detail the structure that underpins the provision – including the number of staff involved and the time and resources allocated share interesting insights into the level of pupil involvement and, where relevant, the extent of parental and community participation paint a vivid picture of how the initiatives have been made compatible with their school’s wider educational programme provide practical guidance, useful links and relevant resources to aid readers’ own pursuit of curriculum development. Suitable for primary school teachers and leaders.Table of ContentsChapters include: 1. Learning With and Through Nature 2. The Window 3. A STEAM Curriculum Initiative 4.

In this volume, you''ll find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help you do just that, by looking at the big ideas at the fifth-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same messagethat they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning.

Columbia University Press Zhuangzi
Book SynopsisThe earliest and most influential commentary on the Zhuangzi is that of Guo Xiang (265–312). Richard John Lynn’s translation of the Zhuangzi is the first to follow Guo’s commentary in its interpretive choices. Its guiding principle is how Guo read the text, which allows for the full integration of the Zhuangzi with Guo’s commentary.Trade ReviewRichard John Lynn’s much-anticipated translation of the Zhuangzi as interpreted by Guo Xiang is a monumental achievement of exceptional scope and depth. This magisterial rendering of the earliest wholly extant commentary and version of the Zhuangzi is presented with superb discussions of key issues and debates surrounding the text. Lynn’s brilliant work will be indispensable for the study of Chinese philosophy, intellectual history, and literature. -- Wendy Swartz, author of Reading Philosophy, Writing Poetry: Intertextual Modes of Making Meaning in Early Medieval ChinaFor far too long the Zhuangzi has been read through a Buddhist lens, and Guo Xiang treated as an aberrant commentator who distorts the Zhuangzi by reading it in political ways. As both parts of this picture are flat wrong, Lynn’s translation, which reads the Zhuangzi through its first systematic commentary, restores the Zhuangzi to all its inherent political genius and original power. -- Michael Nylan, author of The Chinese Pleasure BookAs a major commentator, Guo Xiang not only illuminated the meaning of the Zhuangzi but also shaped a way to understand that great Daoist classic. Richard John Lynn’s excellent translation of Guo Xiang’s version of the Zhuangzi will be essential for the study of Daoism and Chinese philosophical tradition in general. This is a great contribution! -- Zhang Longxi, author of Allegoresis: Reading Canonical Literature East and WestFollowing his acclaimed Yijing and Laozi renderings, Richard Lynn offers an authoritative translation of the Zhuangzi together with, and through the lens of, its formative commentary. Lynn’s unique scholarly approach brings the Zhuangzi alive as a complex, layered work of both ancient and early medieval Chinese philosophy. -- Martin Kern, coeditor of Confucius and the Analects Revisited: New Perspectives on Dating, Composition, and AuthorshipLynn's translation of the Zhuangzi undoubtedly represents great progress in the English translations of the Zhuangzi and Zhuangzi studies. * Philosophy East and West *Richard John Lynn’s Zhuangzi is an incredible boon to Western academia. It not only demonstrates scholarship on the highest level, but also provides a constructive avenue for others to do the same. * Dao : a Journal of Comparative Philosophy *Richard John Lynn has, in the course of a distinguished career, given us magisterial translations of the Book of Changes and the Laozi. Now he crowns these achievements with an equally impressive translation of the Zhuangzi . . . I trust his book will remain a source of inspiration for many years to come. * Journal of Chinese Studies *This new translation, an admirable result of a longstanding dedication to Guo Xiang’s Zhuangzi, trulydeserves not only a special place on our bookshelves but will become a treasured point of reference for anyone who appreciates the aphorisms, wisdom, and literary qualities of those bundles of cherished texts attributed to Master Zhuang. * Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies *Spearheads a fresh approach to the study of the Zhuangzi, enriching the understanding of this profound philosophical work for English-speaking readers and scholars alike. * Monumenta Serica *A hugely valuable resource for scholars and general readers who would like to understand the text more thoroughly. * Paradigm Explorer *Essential reading. * Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentsTranslator’s NoteIntroductionPart I: The Sayings of Master Zhuang, the Inner Chapters1.

Biteback Publishing No Excuses: Turning around one of Britain's
Book SynopsisAn unputdownable true account of how a tenacious head teacher led one of the most challenging schools in the country to excellence. No Excuses charts an extraordinary principal's journey from the moment she took over at a failing secondary school in a deprived area, where less than a quarter of children attained five or more A*-C GCSEs, and how she set about the gruelling task of transforming its reputation using her zero-tolerance, tough-love approach. Armed only with a wicked sense of humour, fearless energy and a powerful vision, Alison Colwell put in place a stringent set of rules, including a strict uniform policy and a complete ban on mobile phones, provoking resistance and hostility from some parents, the wider community and on social media. This is the darkly funny, moving story of how, together, teachers and their - often troubled - pupils rebuilt a school and community, with an inspirational head at the helm. Charming, touching and full of brilliant leadership advice, this is the diary of the woman the Daily Mail labelled Britain's strictest head teacher.
