John Catt Educational Ltd Wiliam & Leahy's Five Formative Assessment
Book SynopsisWritten under the guidance and with the support of Dylan Wiliam, Kate Jones writes about five formative assessment strategies in action in the classroom, with a foreword from Professor John Hattie. Building on the highly successful work of Wiliam and Siobhan Leahy, ideas are shared and misconceptions with formative assessment are addressed with lots of practical advice. Formative assessment in action focuses on five evidence-informed strategies that the teacher can use to support their learners to make progress. Formative assessment can help both the teacher and student understand what needs to be learned and how this can be achieved. During the learning process, formative assessment can identify students' progress as well as highlighting gaps in their knowledge and understanding, therefore giving the teacher useful insight as to what feedback and instruction can be provided to continue to move learners forward. Formative assessment takes place during the learning process. It continually informs the teacher and student as to how learning can move forward as it is happening. This is different to summative assessment, which focuses on the evaluation of student learning at the end of the process. There's a range of case studies from different subjects and key stages to show how formative assessment can be embedded across a curriculum successfully.

Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) Leading professional conversations: Adaptive
Book SynopsisSchool leaders face complex challenges, that typically have multiple causes and often persist despite everyone’s best attempts to address them. Addressing complex challenges requires juggling both the big picture, and the specific parts of the challenge. Without a roadmap, this process is fraught and unlikely to succeed in improving outcomes. In order to make a difference, schools need adaptive expertise; a skill which can be learnt through professional conversations and inquiry.In Leading professional conversations, Emeritus Professor Helen Timperley deftly outlines the key enablers for effective professional conversations – relationships, resources, processes, knowledge and culture – which support teachers to be independent learners and result in positive impact on educational, social and emotional outcomes for students.Featuring examples from real conversations between school leaders and educators, and practical templates which can be adapted to suit the contexts of your school,Leading professional conversations is the school leader’s guide to thinking and acting evaluatively, knowledgeably, metacognitively, collaboratively, responsively and systematically, to engage in deep professional learning and genuine improvements in practice.

John Catt Educational Ltd So What Now? Time for learning in your school to
Book Synopsis“It is not the role of schools to solve the climate crisis or any of the other multiple crises now facing humankind. But it is powerfully their role, if they so choose, to equip young people as well as possible to deal with the consequences of the serious problems they will be inheriting from their elders, not betters.” Could it be our collective failure to respond effectively to the threat of the climate emergency or the challenges of the pandemic has been shaped to a small but significant degree by the nature of the learning that happens in our schools and a failure to enable young people to learn appropriately there? That question lies at the heart of this thought-provoking new book as it unpicks the concept of deep learning for future sustainability. This combines deep understanding with action, and links both to moral purpose. It is not enough just to be concerned about climate change - awareness must lead to action. The book draws on an eclectic range of sources, case studies of actual practice, critical perspectives and opportunities for reflection. The authors argue that first and foremost it is for educators and leaders to get on as best they can in their own school context to do what is both necessary and right to secure learning fit for a just and sustainable future irrespective of governmental lead in these matters. In doing so the authors set out some clear evidence-informed principles for school development and leadership that are central to the success of that mission.Trade ReviewThis is a timely and thoughtful contribution to our debate in the system. Rather than getting stuck in the critique, the authors focus us on the future in practical and imaginative ways. This is a critical moment for us to rethink, building on the learnings and insights of recent years, and this book helps pose some powerful questions for us to consider. -- Liz Robinson, CEO Big Education

John Catt Educational Ltd School self-review – a sensible approach: How to
Book SynopsisThis book looks at the sensible and meaningful role of self-review in creating sustainable improvement in all areas across secondary schools. It outlines a self-review approach focussed on key principles which ensure this approach is transparent, purposeful, does not negatively impact on workload, that does not use the same approach for all teams and that does actually result in clear ideas for school improvement. It discusses claims of effective self-review including that it challenges thinking, leads to improvement, incorporates a range of stakeholders, skills people up, and helps build professional communities.The book is full of examples and case studies so that the reader can transfer some of these ideas to their context, discuss them at meetings and help generate new ideas. It challenges the 'deep dive' approach as something that should be left to Ofsted and instead suggests that leaders should know daily what is happening in their schools, and instead work with staff to design self-review activities that are bespoke and fit for purpose.The main theme is around 'improve not prove', where stakeholders feel involved, valued and empowered to be change-makers at a range of scales. It examines how effective self-review can reduce workload and support improvements in wellbeing.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Getting More Out of Restorative Practice in
Book SynopsisRestorative practice (RP) has been successfully implemented in schools for decades and is primarily associated with improving behaviour and relationships, by changing the culture of problem solving in the school. However, it has huge untapped potential to support initiatives in other areas, and this book provides examples of how RP can enhance the effectiveness of these other practices.Split into three sections, the book first looks at implementation, readiness and evaluation. It then covers integrating RP with, and linking RP into, other issues relevant to schools such as trauma, poverty, and mindfulness, and finally shows how to work well with parents and families. The book gives proven strategies for measuring success and evaluating effectiveness. Overall, it provides insight into a variety of issues RP can help schools with, and addresses them in practical ways to help schools implement restorative practice to its full potential.Trade ReviewThis book is a rich combination of analytical reflection, personal storytelling and case studies of how change plays out on the ground. It is a superb resource for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of how restorative practices can contribute to personal, institutional and societal transformation. -- Professor Chris Marshall, The Diana Unwin Chair in Restorative Justice, Victoria University of Wellington, New ZealandThis book is evidence that the field of restorative practices in schools has reached an unprecedented level of sophistication, complexity and maturity.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Nurture Groups in School and at Home: Connecting
Book SynopsisThis book explores the ways in which pupils with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties can be effectively engaged in schooling - either in school or at home. It explains the social and emotional underpinnings of learning and presents practical strategies for aiding engagement.Nurture groups, originally devised and implemented in the 1970s, are specially designed classes that cater for pupils having difficulties in adjusting to the requirements of mainstream classrooms. Paul Cooper and Yonca Tiknaz present evidence of the success of nurture groups from the perspectives of the children participating in them, their parents and school staff members who manage nurture groups in schools, and examine what factors affect the success of the group. From this they draw key messages for effective practice, including the fundamental importance of recognising a child's emotional needs and meeting them, and the pivotal role of the relationship between the teaching staff co-ordinating the group.Nurture Groups in School and at Home will provide essential information and accessible advice for teaching professionals running nurture groups in schools and for parents and carers running them at home.Trade ReviewI would recommend this as a useful book for all Educational Psychology Service libraries and, if you can, get schools, who are nurturing, innovative and who put the emotional health of their children and families before results, to read it too. -- DebateThe gentle pace of the book does not detract from its clear message: there is no blame; no fault; only unhappy children and desperate parents and teachers. Each chapter is clearly defined and the main points summarised, making its content accessible. Indeed, one of the book's greatest strengths is the importance placed on the role of the carer and professional working together and not in isolation. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to any adult involved with nurture groups of interested in the underpinning principles of how a child learns. -- Community CareThe book provides essential information and advice for teaching professionals who run nurture groups and for carers running them at home. I would have no hesitations in recommending it to any dult involved with nurture groups or interested in the underpinning principles of how a child learns. -- Community CareI was impressed by the book's structure and accessible format at each chapter is succintly introduced and summarised, easing the reader's ability to make sense of the concepts. Any therapists working alongside schools in supporting youn people with mental health problems, this book has much to offer. -- Children, Young People & FamiliesBack in the 1970s someone came up with a very good idea; provide specially-designed classes for students who have difficulty adjusting to the mainstream, staff the classes with techers trained in nurturing and meeting the needs of these special students, and engage a range of educators, parents, and peers to create a supportive environment that is student-centred. According to Cooper (education,U. of Leicester} and Tiknaz {rising educational achievement, U. of Leicester) such nurture groups are effective in the classroom and in the home at bringing children with social, emotional, and behavioural needs closer to accepting educational and other experiences. Writing for educators and parents, they describe nuture groups and what school staff about them, the role of caring people in nurture groups, selection of students for groups, research indications, models for analyzing problems situations and key messages for practitioners. -- BookNews.comTable of ContentsPreface. 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Learning How to Hope
Book SynopsisDemocracy is struggling in America. Citizens increasingly feel cynical about an intractable political system, while hyper-partisanship has dramatically shrank common ground and intensified the extremes. Out of this deepening sense of political despair, philosopher of education Sarah M. Stitzlein seeks to revive democracy by teaching citizens how to hope. Offering an informed call to citizen engagement, Stitzlein directly addresses presidential campaigns, including how to select candidates who support citizens in enacting and sustaining hope. Drawing on examples from American history and pragmatist philosophy, this book explains how hope can be cultivated in schools and sustained through action in our communities -- it describes what hope is, why it matters to democracy, and how to teach it.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.Trade ReviewStitzlein (Univ. of Cincinnati) critiques the state of democracy and discusses a possible solution to reviving civil society. Faced with overwhelming hopelessness in political life, she argues the solution is to teach hope. Grounded in pragmatist philosophy, Stitzlein defines hope by articulating the ideas of John Dewey in relation to inquiry and building habits. From this groundwork she shows that pragmatist hope is the virtue that will help society face its struggles by building a democratic identity. ... Offering an insightful critique of Angela Duckworth's 2016 book Grit, Stitzlein also contends that parents and educators should emphasize hope rather than grit. In the end habits of hope will create new identities and tie communities together. This engaging commentary offers a thoughtful look at a possible collective path toward shaping democracy for a better future. * R. L. Wadham, CHOICE *"This book is a welcome addition to the literature on hope, and helps push our understanding beyond familiar political slogans and cloying greeting-card messages. Stitzlein's background in political theory and pragmatism allows the discussion to range well beyond the usual confines of analytic moral psychology and philosophy of mind, while her expertise in the philosophy of education makes the book especially valuable for teachers interested in how hoping can help us learn, and how learning can foster new hopes." * Andrew Chignell, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Religion and Philosophy, Princeton University *"John Dewey has a new champion. Drawing on the rich tradition of philosophical pragmatism, Sarah Stitzlein presents a bracing diagnosis of American schools and American culture. Everyone interested in improving American education should read this inspiring and instructive book." * James T. Kloppenberg, Charles Warren Professor of American History, Harvard University and author of Toward Democracy and Reading Obama *"In this timely book, Stitzlein draws on the current political moment to envision hope not as a sentimental antidote to polarization and despair but rather as a foundation for pragmatist civic action. Grounding hope in a set of habitual actions that sustain both citizens and their society, this book illuminates ways to enact civic, pluralistic solidarity which would enable the American political community to transcend challenges to democracy through shared action." * Sigal Ben-Porath, Professor of Education, Political Science and Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania *Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Oxford University Press, USA Building the Federal Schoolhouse Localism and the American Education State Studies in Postwar American Political Development
Book SynopsisOver the past 50 years, the federal government''s efforts to reform American public education have transformed U.S. schools from locally-run enterprises to complex systems in which federal, state and local actors jointly construct the educational environment of U.S. children. Through struggles over school integration, the growth of special education, the teaching of English learners and the rise of accountability politics, the federal role in U.S. education has meant a profound reconstruction of local expectations, roles and political alignments. Seeking to construct the federal schoolhouse - an educational system in which there are common national expectations and practices - has meant the creation of new modes of education within local institutions. The creation of this education state has also meant that federal educational initiatives have collided with - or reinforced - local political regimes in cities and suburbs alike. To the extent that all politics is local, the federal role in public schools has changed both the conduct and the norms of local educational politics. Building the Federal Schoolhouse examines how increasing federal authority over public education in the U.S. changes the practices of ''operational localism'' in education and how local regime commitments implement, thwart, or even block federal policy initiatives. The book examines these issues through an in-depth, fifty year examination of federal educational policies at work within one community, Alexandria, Virginia. The home of T.C. Williams High School, memorialized in the Hollywood movie Remember the Titans, Alexandria has been transformed within two generations from a Jim Crow school system to a new immigrant gateway school district with over 20 percent of its students English learners. Along the way, the school system has struggled to provide quality education for special needs students, sought to overcome the legacies of tracking and segregated learning and simultaneously retain upper-middle class students in this wealthy suburb of Washington, DC. Most recently, it has grappled with state and federally imposed accountability measures that seek to boost educational outcomes. All of these policy initiatives have contended with the existing political regime within Alexandria, at times forcing the local regime to a breaking point, and at times bolstering its reconstruction. At the same time, the local expectations and governing realities of administrators, parents, politicians and voters alike have sharply constrained federal initiatives, limiting their scope when in conflict with local commitments and amplifying them when they align. Through an extensive use of local archives, contemporary accounts, school data and interviews, Reed not only paints an intimate portrait of the conflicts that the creation of the federal schoolhouse has wrought in Alexandria, but also documents the successes of the federal commitment to greater educational opportunity. In so doing, he highlights the complexity of the American education state and the centrality of local regimes and local historical context to federal efforts to reform education.Trade ReviewMuch of what is written about education policy today is like the proverbial blind men and the elephant, touching pieces but missing how they fit together. In Building the Federal Schoolhouse, Douglas Reed pulls together the big picture of how multiple levels of government, and the politics within and across these levels, account for the policies and programs adopted and implemented today. * Jeffrey R.

The University of Chicago Press How Schools Work
Book SynopsisAs budgets tighten for school districts, a sound understanding of just how teaching and administration translate into student learning becomes increasingly important. Rebecca Barr, a researcher of classroom instruction and reading skill development, and Robert Dreeben, a sociologist of education who analyzes the structure of organizations, combine their expertise to explore the social organization of schools and classrooms, the division of labor, and the allocation of key resources. Viewing schools as part of a social organization with a hierarchy of levelsdistrict, school, classroom, instructional group, and studentsavoids the common pitfalls of lumping together any and all possible influences on student learning without regard to the actual processes of the classroom. Barr and Dreeben systematically explain how instructional groups originate, form, and change over time. Focusing on first grade reading instruction, their study shows that individual reading aptitude actually has little direct relation to group reading achievement and virtually none to the coverage of reading materials once the mean aptitude of groups is taken into consideration. Individual aptitude, they argue, is rather the basis on which teachers form reading groups that are given different instructional treatment. It is these differences in group treatment, they contend, that explain substantial differences in learning curricular material.

The University of Chicago Press Making the Unequal Metropolis
Book SynopsisIn a radically unequal United States, schools are often key sites in which injustice grows. Ansley T. Erickson's Making the Unequal Metropolis presents a broad, detailed, and damning argument about the inextricable interrelatedness of school policies and the persistence of metropolitan-scale inequality. While many accounts of education in urban and metropolitan contexts describe schools as the victims of forces beyond their control, Erickson shows the many ways that schools have been intertwined with these forces and have in fact via land-use decisions, curricula, and other tools helped sustain inequality. Taking Nashville as her focus, Erickson uncovers the hidden policy choices that have until now been missing from popular and legal narratives of inequality. In her account, inequality emerges not only from individual racism and white communities' resistance to desegregation, but as the result of long-standing linkages between schooling, property markets, labor markets, and the pursui
