MP-AMM American Mathematical Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers
Book SynopsisDiscusses topics of central importance in the secondary school mathematics curriculum, including functions, polynomials, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic functions, number and operation, and measurement. This volume is primarily intended as the text for a bridge or capstone course for pre-service secondary school mathematics teachers.Trade ReviewAs the authors state early on, this book is intended in part as a response to the 2001 report from the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences on the mathematical education of future teachers. There is a very definite need for books like this one. While courses and textbooks on mathematics for elementary teachers are common across America, few schools offer a course for which this book would be a good fit, and that's probably regrettable. There is a good argument to be made for offering prospective secondary teachers the same kind of course—in which they consider the math they expect to teach from an advanced perspective and with some attention to how to teach it—that we routinely require of prospective elementary teachers. … the suggestion of the CBMS report that “Prospective mathematics teachers need mathematics courses that develop a deep understanding of the mathematics they will teach” will be well-realized by a course based on this textbook." - Mark Bollman, MAA ReviewsTable of Contents Preface To the Student To the Instructor 1.

MP-AMM American Mathematical A Gentle Introduction to the American
Book SynopsisOffers a celebration of mathematical problem solving at the level of the high school American Invitational Mathematics Examination. It is intended, in part, as a resource for comprehensive study and practice for the AIME competition for students, teachers, and mentors. However, this book is also intended for anyone who enjoys solving problems as a recreational pursuit.Trade Review...The problems offered for the readers to solve are interesting and of increasing difficulty in each section. The hints are on target, and the complete solutions to the problems are also done well... I plan to consider the use of this book in a capstone course for mathematics secondary education majors. The problems in the book often require the integration of materials from a variety of topics in high school mathematics… I expect that almost all preservice teachers will find the problems on an AIME both interesting and challenging. Thank you, Dr. Annin, for writing this book. It will serve the community well." - Joel Haack, MAA ReviewsTable of Contents Preface List of Abbreviations and Symbols 1. Algebraic Equations 2.

MP-AMM American Mathematical Trigonometry A Clever Study Guide
Book SynopsisCovers the story of trigonometry. This is a swift overview, but it is complete in the context of the content discussed in beginning and advanced high-school courses. The purpose of these notes is to supplement and put into perspective the material of any course on the subject.Trade ReviewThe real unique feature of this book is the set of ten problem solving strategies that Tanton employs when he solved the featured problems. … Tanton references these strategies in his descriptions of solving the featured problems and manages to inject a bit of humor into the work. Trigonometry is a topic that is core to the understanding of basic mathematics and in this book Tanton emphasizes that even experienced mathematicians will look at problems and have an initial reaction of “What?” If you teach trig, there are many interesting and effective pedagogical techniques in this book as well as problems that you can use." - Charles Ashbacher"This clearly written, engaging book combines a summary of high school trigonometry and a guide to problem solving. The book offers teachers ideas about how to present some topics in an interesting way along with a collection of challenging problems involving trigonometry… If you are looking for an excellent collection of challenging problems that use trigonometry or for a well-written review of trigonometry, this book would be a good choice." - Mathematics Teacher"…This book collects the most meaningful results from trigonometry and, in addition to reviewing them for the reader, includes a robust collection of problems from previous contests, where their value to competitors can be easily demonstrated. While this is not a textbook, a nice added feature is the connections to Common Core state standards. It's good to see that contest mathematics need not be separate from day-to-day classroom mathematics, and that there's more to contest uses of trigonometry than just clever tricks…" - Mark Bollman, MAA ReviewsTable of Contents About these Study Guides This Guide and Mathematics Competitions On Competition Names On Competition Success This Guide and the Craft of Solving Problems This Guide and Mathematics Content: Trigonometry For Educators: This Guide and the Common Core State Standards Part I: Trigonometry 1.

New Village Press Performing Communities
Book SynopsisEnsemble theater is one of the vibrant, meaningful American performance forms today. It's more than art- it's a social movement. Ensemble theater is one of the hottest, most engaging American performance forms today. It's more than art- it's a movement. Performing Communities is an inquiry into a genre of theater that arises from and empowers the grassroots. The book profiles established ensemble groups from inner-city Los Angeles, small-town northern California, African-American South, multicultural southern Texas, low-income central Appalachia, economically struggling South Bronx New York, and cross-continental Native America. This compendium of critical writing about the role these theaters play in building community shows how these artist groups are forged by working in and with their communities over time. Ensemble theater is discovered to be neither alternative nor marginalized, but vanguard, a natural evolution of the movement that propelled regional theater away from the commer

However, what about what we do not know? This book’s chapters chart in detail the challenges and repercussions of dealing with missing data, missing vulnerable populations, missing national relevance and, ultimately, missing the goal of using data meaningfully to support impactful education policies on the ground. Based on empirical evidence and analysis, and written by education experts working in the field, the book is recommended thoroughly to all those, experts and policymakers alike, that strive so that the SDG4 is not another missed opportunity in the governance of global education.’ -- Sotiria Grek, University of Edinburgh, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to missing education data and the SDG 4 data regime 1 Daniel Shephard and Marcos Delprato 2 A conceptual framework to assess missing data for SDG 4 14 Marcos Delprato 3 Priorities for missing data and SDG 4: Latin America and the Caribbean 32 Alejandro Vera, Ernesto Yáñez and Martín Scasso 4 Priorities for missing data and SDG 4 in the Asia region 49 James Shoobridge 5 Priorities for missing data on SDG 4 in the Arab Region 68 Karma El Hassan 6 Priorities for missing data and SDG 4 for countries in Africa 85 Angela Arnott 7 Missing education data on internally displaced people (IDPs) 103 Chiara Valenti and Louisa Yasukawa 8 Indigenous data sovereignty and missing education data 120 Jacob Prehn, Karen Martin and Gawaian Bodkin-Andrews 9 Gender, missing data and SDG 4 138 Helen Longlands, Rosie Peppin Vaughan and Elaine Unterhalter 10 Conclusions on missing education data and the SDG 4 data regime 156 Marcos Delprato and Daniel Shephard Index

John Wiley & Sons Inc Timeless Learning
Book SynopsisReinvent public schools with proven, innovative practices Our homes, communities, and the world itself need the natural assets our children bring with them as learners, and which they often lose over time on the assembly line that pervades most of the public education system today. We see no actions as more important in school than developing, supporting, and reinforcing children''s sense of agency, the value of their voices, and their potential to influence their own communities. In Timeless Learning, an award-winning team of leaders, Chief Technology Officer Ira Socol, Superintendent Pam Moran, and Lab Schools Principal Chad Ratliff demonstrate how you can implement innovative practices that have shown remarkable success. The authors use progressive design principles to inform pathways to disrupt traditions of education today and show you how to make innovations real that will have a timeless and meaningful impact on students, keeping alive the natural Trade Review"An ambitious book! The authors aim to show reformers at all levels of schooling what and how we could and should respond to the demand that 'all children' succeed. Each chapter is filled with practical accounts of real life stories of teachers and students who aren't willing to comply and give up. Instead, the narrative of Timeless Learning demonstrates the power of democratized and collaborative progressive education designed for contemporary learners."—Deb Meier, public school teacher for half a century, author of Schools Belong to You and Me "Pam, Chad, and Ira have written a manifesto; they are not spouting blanket statements but rather revealing the intricate facets enmeshed in learning, teaching, and living. They are big dreamers and just as big doers, and their ideas and hopes are built from real experiences in walking the halls, breaking down walls, and hearing students and teachers alike. I've had the incredible fortune to spend time in conversation with these three, and this book is the next best thing."—Stephanie Chang, Director of Educational Programs, Maker Ed "A thought-provoking and insightful read highlighting the rapidly shifting landscape of public education and the fixes that we so urgently need in our public schools. Moran, Ratliff, and Socol have crafted a thorough and detailed walkthrough of how one of Virginia's leading school districts has charged full-speed into the progressive era of education. This book serves as an excellent reminder of how far we've come from the comparatively primitive classrooms of the industrial era and gives a front-row seat to how America's public schools are embracing a new world of pedagogical possibility, and rethinking what it means to learn."—Julian Waters, youth educational provocateur and aspiring policy maker "Schools do not transform. School administrators, teachers, and staff have to personally transform in order to cocreate individualized, meaningful learning journeys with every student. The authors with radical transparency share such a journey – a 'learn by doing' journey of overcoming financial restraints, physical space, fears of the unknown, and resistance to change by inspiring, trusting, and enabling teachers and students to cocreate the learning that will better prepare students for the Smart Machine Age. This book will capture your mind and your heart; it is an inspiring and practical read!"—Ed Hess, coauthor of Humility Is the New Smart: Rethinking Human Excellence in the Smart Machine Age, Professor of Business Administration and Batten Executive-in-Residence, UVA Darden School of Business "Maker Learning is about providing students with opportunities to explore ideas that are personal to them. We give them a voice when we allow them to identify and create solutions to problems that are pertinent to their lives. Pam, Chad, and Ira have worked with the members of their community to create schools that sup- port processes and spaces that provide fluidity in addressing the learning needs and desires of all students, and adults. Backed by a body of knowledge and direct experience, the words on the pages of this book will be an inspiration, as they provide ideas for establishing learning constructs for the learners of today and the future."—Lakeysha Washington, Principal, Benjamin O. Davis Middle School, Compton, CA "A must-read book by three of America's leading public school educators. Socol, Moran, and Ratliff paint a picture of what learning must and can look like in the twenty-first century, and how to transform outdated schools into places of powerful student-centered engagement and learning. An inspiring, rich narrative from the front lines of K–12 education. Bottom line: If they can do it, so can you!"—Grant Lichtman, author of #EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education and Moving the Rock: Seven Levers, WE Can Press to Transform Education "This book is the enactment of modern-day progressive education in Virginia and the shining example of how school and district leaders are an essential factor in the development of systems and dispositions that support youth and adults in becoming their best selves. It should be required reading for any educator interested in empowering teachers and students and investing in the future of public education. After years in the classroom, in schools, and in leading school districts, these exceptional educators share their blueprint for designing learning spaces for youth to own their learning and cocreate knowledge with teachers. At the heart of this blueprint is the belief that teachers and students should cocreate learning environments that are meaningful for them."—Jessica Parker, Director of Teaching and Learning, the Exploratorium "The single most important challenge our country faces is how to transform existing schools to prepare children for their futures. This remarkable team has done exactly that, advancing learning outcomes for kids in every school in a district that reflects the full spectrum of socioeconomic circumstances. Read this book and treasure it for the insights and pragmatic advice it provides!"—Ted Dintersmith, author of What School Could Be and executive producer of Most Likely to Succeed "Contemplating the visionary tool kit in Timeless Learning, one is shaken up, the mind is opened, and we are offered an open space to prepare for the critical evolutionary leap our schools must make. The authors provide an illuminating X-ray-like analysis of what has gone before, where past academic trails have led, and their clearing away and innovating forward in confidence breaks down walls to construct new open spaces, foster real world learning and promote an education our learners want and will need underpinned by a deep, palpable cherishing of all our children. A must-read tool kit for twenty-first-century learners of all ages."—John Hunter, CEO, World Peace Game Foundation "To prepare students for a bold new world we need to fundamentally rethink learning. The authors not only provide a compelling case for needed changes to the function of schools but they all have played an integral part in implementing transformative practices at the classroom, building, and district level. If you are interested in how to put theory into practice, then this book is for you."—Eric Sheninger, Google Certified Innovator and Adobe Education Leader, and Thomas C. Murray, Director of Innovation, Future Ready Schools "The authors challenge constraints often cited as barriers to contemporary progressive education. In their work to integrate innovative technologies, teaching practices, and learning environments they show how systems thinking and strategic design can lead to learning opportunities that were inconceivable a decade ago."—Richard Culatta, Chief Executive Officer, ISTETable of ContentsAcknowledgments xi Foreword by Yong Zhao xv Introduction: How We Came to See Learning and School 1 1 All Means All: Cherishing Children 15 2 A Little History: Why We Are Here 39 3 Change: Liberating Learners and Learning 67 4 The Education World Learners Want 93 5 Envision All Things Future 121 6 Learning Ready for Today’s Real World 147 7 Break Down Walls: Opening Spaces for Learning 173 8 Timeless 197 9 Where Design Begins 223 10 Zero-Based Design: Engineering Biodiversity of Learning 247 Afterword: The Next Generation 277 Index 289
