Book SynopsisQueer Inclusion in Teacher Education explores the challenges and promises of building queer inclusive pedagogy and curriculum into teacher education. Weaving together theory, research findings, and practical how-to strategies and materials, it fills an important gap by offering a clear roadmap and resources for influencing the knowledge, beliefs, and actions of faculty working with pre-service teachers. While the book has implications for policy change, most immediately, readers will feel empowered with ideas for faculty development they can implement in their own teacher education programs. Looking at both the politics and practices of teacher education and the ways in which queer issues manifest in schools, it is hopeful in suggesting that if teachers and pre-service teachers can critically reflect on homophobia and heteronormativity, they can begin to think about and relate to queer youth in a different, more positive and inclusive way. A Companion Website [http://queerinclusion.com] with additional activities and materials for teacher educators and faculty development and a practical guide enhances the usefulness of the book.Trade Review"Innovative and thought provoking, this book’s three-fold approach is particularly novel and useful.

Book SynopsisMuch has been written on the styles, strategies and tactics associated with educational research and evaluation, but relatively little on the social processes associated with the methodology. Few books consider the relationship of research and evaluation to policy and practice and this book opens up key debates in that field. It identifies, through contributions from the USA and Britain, some of the major processes involved, examines the problems of conducting research and evaluation and the ways in which they can be overcome, and details case studies in which problems and processes are encountered.; Probably of worldwide interest to students, researchers, academics, policy makers and practitioners, the authors present an examination of a range of different dimensions associated with educational research and evaluation conducted for policy and practice.Table of ContentsPart 1 Issues in Policy Focused Research and Evaluation: The Relationship Between Educational Research and Evaluation and the Role of the Local Education Authority, A Sanday; Voices for Empowering of the Researched in a Report for Policy Makers, C Biott; Inspection, Time Constrained Evaluation and the Production of Credible Educational Knowledge, B Wilcox; Part 2 Educational Research and Evaluation for Policy and Practice - Some Empirical Studies: Local and National Evaluation, C Pole ; Evaluation for Policy - Rationality and Political Reality - The Paradigm Case of Praise?

Book SynopsisThis volume illuminates the most pressing challenges faced by urban schools, teachers, teacher candidates, and teacher training programs and offers a range of insights and possibilities for urban teacher education and teaching. Covering issues spanning the broadly theoretical to the urgently practical, it goes beyond the traditional discourses in teacher education to focus on diversity, social justice, democratic schooling, and community building. What emerges is an emphatic message of hope for those committed to the ongoing project of improving urban teacher education and working in urban settings. Contributors from Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean bring rich and divergent knowledges, perspectives, and cultural experiences to their discussion of the three central themes around which the book is organized:â the conceptual framing of key issues in urban schooling;â pre-service teacher preparation for urban transformation; and â culturally relevant pedagogy and advocacy in urban settings.This book is intended for all students, practitioners, and researchers involved in urban education. It is appropriate as a text for student teaching and field experience seminars, and for courses dealing with social issues, educational policy, curriculum development, and multicultural teacher education.Table of ContentsContents: P.C.
