Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Pedagogy of the Depressed
Book SynopsisThis book is one English professor's assessment of university life in the early 21st century. From rising mental health concerns and trigger warnings to learning management systems and the COVID pandemic, Christopher Schaberg reflects on the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education. Adopting an interdisciplinary public humanities approach, Schaberg considers the frequently exhausting and depressing realities of college today. Yet in these meditations he also finds hope: collaboration, mentoring, less grading, surface reading, and other pedagogical strategies open up opportunities to reinvigorate teaching and learning in the current turbulent decade.Trade ReviewWhat readers may not anticipate and should be delighted by the presence of, is a vast range of topics—seemingly randomly interspersed throughout the book—that break up the chapters of both theoretical musings and practical applications of managing the college literature classroom in the early twenty-first century world of pandemic lockdowns, changing university concerns, and the post-Postmodern world of businessmen in the White House. The honest tone of Schaberg’s prose is refreshingly welcome—he is continuously questioning what he is doing, why, and how is it affecting his students as well as providing critiques of what is wrong with higher education. [...] The optimism and pessimism of our current teaching mode alternate throughout Pedagogy of the Depressed. Schaberg's deepest concerns mirror many of ours. That administration will not see moving online as a fearful, temporary situation, but rather as a new efficient system that eliminates all sorts of issues, including those of class size limits or scheduling issues. We are depressingly isolated from our colleagues and valuable impromptu discussions and collaborations. A bonus? Throughout the book, Schaberg also talks about other texts that speak to the issues he is addressing. This is a great, and much appreciated, way to increase our academic TBR piles. * Teaching American Literature: A Journal of Theory and Practice *How do you teach through trauma? All college instructors have found themselves facing this question in recent days, but few with the insight and poignancy of Christopher Schaberg. Pedagogy of the Depressed provides both diagnosis and balm for those anxious about the possibilities for higher education in the midst of climate change and active shooter events and pandemic response and budgetary collapse, a profound reckoning with the conditions of learning today. * Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Director of Digital Humanities and Professor of English, Michigan State University, USA, and author of Generous Thinking: A Radical Approach to Saving the University *If the title page didn’t say Christopher Schaberg so plainly, I might have assumed the author was Guy Montag, protagonist of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. Both are suffering through a takeover by the machinery, technological and bureaucratic; both hold onto a humanistic ideal in the midst of it all. Pedagogy of the Depressed is in some ways precisely the opposite of what its title promises: rather than depressing, it’s a hopeful pushback against the pervasive air of depression and lowered expectations that has overtaken too many of our classrooms, and whose metaphor—if not cause—is Covid-19 and the ubiquity of the Zoom screen. Come for the jeremiad—but stay for the wise encouragement, that this work we do with students still matters. Perhaps matters more than ever. * Kevin Dettmar, W.M.

Book Synopsis'An honest, down-to-earth story of one school’s journey towards replacing the tyranny of teacher marking with conferencing and feedback.' - Dame Alison Peacock, Chief Executive, Chartered College of Teaching One day, a headteacher saw a new teacher wheeling a suitcase out of school. ‘Going anywhere nice?’ he asked her. ‘Oh! No, unfortunately,’ she replied with dismay. ‘This is my marking for the weekend.’ Sound familiar? Determined to make a change, Lavender Primary School in North London took on the challenge of abolishing written marking altogether by introducing the revolutionary approach of providing immediate verbal feedback.

SAGE Publications Inc The Standards-Based Classroom: Make Learning the
Book SynopsisWin big in the standards-based classroom! Standards-Based Learning (SBL) is NOT standardization. In fact, when we recognize the central purpose of SBL, which is to make learning the goal for all students, we can design systems and structures that are more personal, more flexible, and more engaging—for us and for our students. At its core, SBL simply asks us to organize our teaching and learning around three questions. These questions guide the creation of targets, the development of assessments, the instructional planning, and the systems to communicate learning. • Where do we want our learners to go? • How do we know where our learners are in relation to where we want them to go? • How do we move them from where they are towards or beyond where we want them to be? While simple at the core, the transition to a standards-based classroom is anything but. The complexity comes in the implementation, the integration into existing systems, and the difficult task of moving away from what’s most comfortable. The Standards-Based Classroom provides practical strategies and steps based on many years of both failures and successes to support educators during this transition to a standards-based system. The accessible and concrete examples, tools, and templates in the book can be adapted into any classroom. Teachers who are new to SBL will understand the parts, experienced teachers will see the connections to current practices, and all educators will realize the potential SBL has to transform learning. Trade Review"This book takes much of the guesswork out of becoming a highly efficient and effective teacher in a standards-based system. The authors have thought deeply about (and explained) many of the ′road block′ issues and provide both theory and practice to support teachers doing this work. This system helped me as the instructor and helped my students achieve at the level in which they desire. The Standards-Based Classroom leans on the work of the experts in the field in a very pragmatic way and makes it a great resource for teachers seeking to engage in standards-based work." -- Dr. Tom Buckmiller, Professor of Education, Drake University"If you are looking for that one book that explains teaching and learning, then this is it. Full of practical advice, suggestions, and further readings, the authors discuss and illustrate concepts with a clarity that is seldom witnessed in educational literature." -- Dr. Ken Darvall, Principal, Tema International School"The Standards-Based Classroom: A Practical Approach really is practical! With a plethora of examples and models and great suggestions that are organized to be easily read and quickly learned, this book is a must-have for any teacher considering stepping up their game to increase student learning." -- Renee Peoples, Teaching and Learning Coach, Swain County Schools"Most of us know that middle and especially high school educators can be reluctant to implement authentic standards-based learning, including grading and reporting. By having secondary authors and practitioners speaking to secondary educators, this book is right on target for what’s needed in the field right now and captures the right spirit of what standards-based learning is all about." -- Becca Lindahl, Ed.D., Professional Learning & Leadership Consultant"This book is important because of its relevancy for teachers who are implementing or transitioning to standards-based learning or want to do so. As educators, we are always looking for ways to improve our craft, and readers will find this to be a great resource. In this book, teachers will find answers to common questions and concerns related to standards-based learning environments and develop confidence to communicate with students, parents, and colleagues regarding the change in practice. They will also gain much needed practical advice, examples, and processes to implement in a standards-based classroom." -- Garnet Hillman, Author and Educational Consultant, Hillman Consulting"This book provides practical, realistic, and useful guidance to achieve its desired outcome. The authors take the 50,000-foot view of the best instructional, assessment, grading, and reporting practices that comprise the different parts of standards-based learning and integrate them into a practical system that improves learning for all students. Then they go to ground level to show how each piece works. The Standards-Based Classroom provides an outline or blueprint for developing a system that will improve the opportunities for learning for all students. " -- Hugh O′Donnell, Education Consultant, Mentor Learning, LLC"The Standards-Based Classroom provides teachers with a practical guide to implement standards-based learning in their classrooms. The authors provide a perfect balance of context and commentary, practical examples, challenges, and suggestions for further exploration. Readers can use this book to transform their pedagogy and practice to better meet the needs of all learners with a standards-based approach." -- Brian M.
