Taylor & Francis Learning to Depolarize
Book SynopsisHow can schools shoulder some responsibility for depolarizing our fractured American society? In this provocative new book, Kent Lenci describes how educators can tackle the challenge of preparing students to communicate and collaborate across lines of deep disagreementâto face the political and ideological otherâdespite the conventional wisdom that schools should be apolitical.Topics covered include the causes and consequences of political polarization in our society, why schools must address the challenge head-on, bridge-building in the classroom, media literacy and social emotional learning as tools for depolarization, and partnering with parents across the divide.Each chapter offers current research as well as practical strategies and classroom anecdotes. Appropriate for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas, the book will help you reconsider your classroom and schoolâs role in forging a more depolarized future.Trade Review"Learning to Depolarize is thoughtful, constructive, and beautifully written—a terrific book. It makes a strong case for taking up these difficult issues in schools, and it will be very helpful to lots of folks."—Dr. Richard Weissbourd, Senior Lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Kennedy School of Government"In Learning to Depolarize, Lenci offers all of us—educators and parents/guardians—a research-based approach to engaging the "other," those whose beliefs differ from our own. The education landscape has become the epicenter for the polarizing culture wars, and Lenci offers practical suggestions that stem from his own experiences in the classroom. This book is insightful, well-researched, straightforward, courageous, and inspirational. In short, this book is a must read!" —Bonnie J.

Taylor & Francis Providing HyperLocalized Early Childhood
Book SynopsisThis important and engaging resource offers a step-by-step framework for developing early childhood community programming that centers the learning needs of children, supersedes socioeconomic barriers, and activates the power of community.The book centers on an in-depth exploration of the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative (ELNC), a place-based, early learning collaborative that provides funding, innovative shared support services, and advocacy to partner organizations rooted in vulnerable communities, with the primary goal of readying children for the first day of kindergarten. The author details the concept and practice of a place-based intentional preschool system, including the lessons that were learned through the creation of ELNC and how it successfully prepares children of color for success in school and beyond. The program uses a two-generation approach in which families are coached to address barriers that keep them from being their child's first teachers and Trade Review"Early childhood programs help stabilize families and communities," says a parent. Accordingly, Providing Hyper-Localized Early Childhood Programming: A Framework from the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative (ELNC) is a must read for those interested in early learning based on core infant mental health principles needed for babies and young children to develop: safe, nurturing, predictable environments, parent and family engagement, and ongoing professional development for teachers. ELNC has become a safe haven and model program for families, very young children, and communities so much so that ELNCs are being replicated in cities throughout West Michigan. Kimberly P. Diamond-Berry, PhD, IECMH-E® MentorExecutive DirectorMichigan Association for Infant Mental HealthEndorsementProviding Hyper-Localized Early Childhood Programming: A Framework from the Early Learning Neighborhood Collaborative (ELNC) shows that communities can solve long standing issues such as working with perhaps competing, multiple constituencies to develop quality early childhood education.

Lastly, Part IV provides simple approaches for building a more durable, best self for the long terma best self with deepened capacity to respond rather than react in the pressurized conditions of teaching. With fresh ideas presented throughout, you'll learn how to prioritize your own well-bTrade Review"Jay Schroder has produced a book that every educator should read regardless of where they are in their teaching career.

Helpful examples anTrade ReviewChildren’s misunderstandings about mathematics ideas stand in their ways to learn mathematics well and effectively in elementary schools. Common Mistakes in Teaching Elementary Math and How to Avoid Them, is the first book, I know, that directly explains teachers’ own misunderstandings about mathematics ideas, how they reproduce them among their students, and more importantly, what they can do to address these issues in their mathematics teaching. Dr. Liu accomplished all the above successfully by engaging readers in experiencing what teachers do and how students react in elementary classrooms using a series of stories. A great book for mathematics teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers.----Jian Wang, Helen DeVitt Jones Chair in Teacher Education, Texas Tech University This book appeals to pre-service and elementary teachers who are not math content knowledge experts.
