Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Wie kooperatives Lernen im inklusiven Unterricht
Book SynopsisIlka Gummels stellt sich den Herausforderungen an das kooperative Lernen im inklusiven Mathematikunterricht der dritten und vierten Jahrgangsstufe, wofür sie eine kooperative Lernumgebung im Teilgebiet der Arithmetik entwickelt hat. In sich wiederholenden Schleifen aus Erprobung und Überarbeitung wurde die Lernumgebung an die Anforderungen der Praxis angepasst. Auf diese Weise werden tiefere Einsichten in die Schwierigkeiten, aber auch in die Potenziale kooperativen Lernens eröffnet und zugleich eine erfolgreiche Lernumgebung präsentiert. Dieses Buch liefert wertvolle Hinweise für eine praxistaugliche Lernumgebung, die im Sinne des Inklusionsverständnisses ein gemeinsames Lernen am selben Lerngegenstand sowie eine individuelle Förderung der Schulkinder ermöglicht, welche darüber hinaus nicht nur im Mathematikunterricht umgesetzt werden können.Table of ContentsDer Forschungsansatz Design-Based Research.- Inklusion im Mathematikunterricht.- Kooperatives Lernen im inklusiven Mathematikunterricht.- Lernumgebungen im inklusiven Mathematikunterricht.- Ergebnisse aus der Beobachtung und Analyse der Schülerkooperationen.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Die zukünftigen Lehrerinnen und Lehrer: Herkunft,
Book SynopsisDie jungen Menschen, die jetzt ein Lehramtsstudium beginnen oder neu in den Beruf eintreten, werden über viele Jahre das Bild der Lehrerin/des Lehrers in der Öffentlichkeit bestimmen und das Leben an den Schulen prägen. Für die Steuerung des Bildungswesens erscheint es wichtig zu wissen, welche Bereiche der Gesellschaft sie repräsentieren, welche Eigenschaften sie mitbringen und wie gut sie voraussichtlich den beruflichen Anforderungen entsprechen können.Die Beiträge des Buches bieten Antworten auf diese Fragen. Die Basis dafür bilden Stichproben von (österreichischen) Lehramtsstudierenden aus den Jahren 2005 bis 2016, die zu Studienbeginn befragt und zum Großteil in ihrem Studienverlauf verfolgt werden.Table of ContentsDer Lehrerberuf in Österreich.- Woher kommen die Lehrer und Lehrerinnen der Zukunft?

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Wirksamkeit einer Lehrkräftefortbildung:
Book SynopsisSchule ist ein Ort des Lernens der Schüler*innen, aber auch der Lehrer*innen. Professionelle Praktiker*innen verändern ihr unterrichtliches Denken und Handeln nicht aufgrund einmaliger Nachmittags-Fortbildungen, sondern in komplexen und vielschichtigen Reflexions- und Erprobungsprozessen, begleitet durch längerfristige umsetzungsorientierte Fortbildungen. Die bislang wenig befriedigende Befundlage der Wirksamkeitsforschung wird in dieser Arbeit in einem integrierenden Ansatz der Wirksamkeit von Lehrkräftefortbildung strukturiert und ein mehrdimensionales Rahmenmodell der Wirksamkeit von Lehrkräftefortbildung skizziert. Mit der berufsbezogenen Interessenentwicklung von Lehrkräften im Kontext von Fortbildung fokussiert die Arbeit bislang in der Wirksamkeitsforschung noch wenig berücksichtigte motivationale Orientierungen. Drei Fortbildungsszenarien differenzieren Zugänge wirksamer Lehrkräftefortbildungen zu Schulen mit unterschiedlichen Kooperationsformen in einer theoretisch rahmenden Konklusion der Arbeit. Eine konkrete Checkliste überführt diese drei Szenarien wirksamer Lehrkräftefortbildung in konkrete Planungs- und Reflexionshilfen für Praktiker*innen in der Fortbildung.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Lehrkräftefortbildung und ihre Wirksamkeit.- Berufsbezogene Interessen.- Methodologische und methodische Vorüberlegungen.- Forschungsmethodisches Vorgehen.- Ergebnisse.- Zusammenführung, Diskussion und Ausblick.- Resümee.- Literatur

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Konzepte reflexiver Praxisstudien in der
Book SynopsisDie Forderung nach einer praxisorientierten Lehrer*innenbildung ist seit vielen Jahren virulent. Für die Professionalisierung angehender Lehrkräfte ist dabei entscheidend, Praxisbezüge in einen pädagogischen und fachdidaktischen Reflexionskontext zu stellen. Diesen Ansatz von Praxis und domänenbezogener Reflexion verfolgen die Beiträge aus den Bildungswissenschaften und Fachdidaktiken, die im Rahmen des Kasseler Projekts Professionalisierung durch Vernetzung – Fortführung und Potenzierung (PRONET2) der „Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung“ entstanden sind.Die Beiträge verbinden Praxisstudien mit unterschiedlichen Reflexionsanlässen, die sich auf Lehr-Lernszenarien, ganze Seminarkonzeptionen oder die Begleitung von Schulpraktika beziehen. Dabei geht es um Reflexionsgegenstände wie Unterrichtsvideos, Reflexionshandlungen wie Blogeinträge sowie Untersuchungen zum Reflexionsvermögen, zur Reflexionsgüte und zur Wirksamkeit von inhaltlich ausgerichteter Reflexion. Der Band zeigt konzeptionell wie empirisch auf, wie reflexive Praxisstudien zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil einer – auch phasenübergreifend angelegten – Lehrer*innenbildung werden können.Table of ContentsDer Band zeigt Konzepte, die es Studierenden in Lehramtsstudiengängen erleichtern, einen Theorie-Praxis-Zusammenhang im Praxissemester herzustellen. Vorgestellt werden hochschuldidaktische Lernumgebungen, die die reflexive Lehrer*innenbildung unterstützen und verschiedene Reflexionsanlässe in allen Schulformen. Es geht um eine gezielte Förderung professioneller Wahrnehmung für die Entwicklung reflexiver Unterrichtsplanungskompetenz.

In einem rekonstruktiven Forschungsdesign werden anhand von 15 audiografierten Lernentwicklungsgesprächen die im bisherigen Forschungsstand offenen Fragen geklärt, welche Subjektnormen gegenüber Eltern in der Gesprächsform aufgerufen werden und welche Vorstellungen sich in Bezug auf das Verhältnis von Familie und Schule in der Gesprächspraxis ausdrücken. Als theoretische Rahmung wurde ein Anerkennungsverständnis entwickelt, das sowohl an der Subjektivationstheorie von Butler als auch der Praxistheorie Bourdieus anknüpft.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Zum Verhältnis von Familie und Schule: Diskurs und Forschungsstand.- Anerkennung.- Dokumentarische Methode.- Datenerhebung, -material und -auswertung.- Ergebnisdarstellung.- Ergebnisdiskussion.- Fazit.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Professionalitätsentwicklung angehender
Book SynopsisFachbezogene Planungskompetenzen bilden einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der Professionalität von Lehrkräften und sind im Rahmen institutionalisierter Lerngelegenheiten der Lehrerbildung wie dem seit 2015 in Nordrhein-Westfalen durchgeführten Praxissemester auszubilden. Die tatsächliche Wirksamkeit derartiger Langzeitpraktika ist professionstheoretisch jedoch umstritten. Die Arbeit untersucht die spezifische Wirkung des Praxissemesters auf die Entwicklung von Planungskompetenzen bei angehenden Lehrkräften im Fach Sachunterricht. Zu diesem Zweck werden die Entwicklungen eines Kompetenzstrukturmodells als Referenzrahmen für Wirksamkeitsaussagen sowie eines Rasch-skalierten Messinstrumentes zur standardisierten und validen Erfassung der interessierenden Kompetenz beschrieben. Die dargestellten Ergebnisse einer umfassenden Pilotierungsstudie belegen die generelle Eignung des entwickelten Instrumentes, das im Rahmen eines quasi-experimentellen Forschungsdesigns anschließend für eine Prä-Post-Untersuchung bei Studierenden an der Universität Paderborn eingesetzt wurde. Die berichteten Ergebnisse dieser Studie deuten darauf hin, dass das Praxissemester entgegen der damit verbundenen Intention keine signifikant positiven Effekte auf die Entwicklung der interessierenden Kompetenz hat.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Einstellungen und Urteile von angehenden
Book SynopsisTürkischstämmige Schüler*innen gelten als eine bildungsbezogene Risikogruppe in Deutschland. Für diese benachteiligte Lage werden verschiedene Ursachen diskutiert, beispielsweise die gesellschaftliche Integration (z.B. gute Sprachkenntnisse, interethnische Netzwerke oder ein hoher sozio-ökonomischer Status). Eine gesellschaftliche Integration kann sich positiv auf die Schulleistungen auswirken. Neben den Schüler*innen selbst werden jedoch ebenfalls Ursachen diskutiert, die institutionell bedingt sind. In diesem Zusammenhang spielen Lehrkräfte eine wichtige Rolle. Diese Arbeit geht daher in drei Studien auf Einstellungen und Urteile angehender Lehrkräfte gegenüber türkischstämmigen Schülern ein. Die Ergebnisse zeigen übereinstimmend, dass die angehenden Lehrkräfte bei der Integration von türkischstämmigen Schülern insbesondere deren sprachliche Integration fokussieren. Insbesondere bei diesem Aspekt der Integration zeigen sich Unterschiede in den Urteilen, je nachdem ob ein sprachlich integrierter oder segregierter türkischstämmiger Schüler beurteilt wurde. Andere Integrationsaspekte spielten keine oder eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Darüber hinaus zeigte sich ein positiver Einfluss der interethnischen Freundschaften der Proband*innen auf deren Einstellungen gegenüber türkischstämmigen Schülern.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Rekonstruktive Bildungsforschung jenseits vom
Book SynopsisGegenstand der rekonstruktiven Bildungsforschung sind klassischerweise individuelle Fälle. Mit diesem empirischen Fokus geht das Generalisierungsproblem einher, dass das Allgemeine im Besonderen aufgespürt werden muss. Allzu leicht verheddern sich Studien jedoch in der Individuation ihrer Fälle, ohne zu generalisierbaren theoretischen Aussagen, die über die Bildung von Realtypen hinausgehen, zu gelangen. Vor diesem Problemhorizont wird in dem Buch ein alternativer empirischer Zugriff vorgestellt, der für soziale Praxen typische, aber fallunspezifische Sprechakte ins Zentrum rückt. Durch die Analyse eines solchen Datenmaterials, so zeigt der Autor, kann der oftmals prekäre Generalisierungsanspruch der rekonstruktiven Bildungsforschung verlässlicher eingelöst werden. In verschiedenen Einzelstudien zum Interaktionsraum institutioneller Bildung in Schule und Universität wird dieser methodische Vorschlag elaboriert und material fundiert.Table of ContentsDer Interaktionsraum institutionelle Bildung als Gegenstand der rekonstruktiven Bildungsforschung.- Schule und Universität: Bildungsanspruch und Interaktionswirklichkeit.- Vom „Ich finde“ zum „Ich denke“: Zur Entfaltung diskursiver Rationalitätsansprüche im kommunikativen Austausch von Schülern.- Sich-Melden: Zur inhärenten Spannung zwischen individuellem Schülerinteresse und klassenöffentlichem Unterrichtsgespräch.- „Woher weiß ich, dass …“: Fachspezifische Sprechakte als Ausdruck fachspezifischer Kommunikationskulturen am Beispiel Mathematik.- Lehrerbildung: Zum Problem der Vergemeinschaftung von Lehramtsstudenten auf der Basis der ehemaligen Schülerrolle.- Von Papas, Brüdern und Cousinen.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Schule und digitale Kommunikationskultur:
Book SynopsisLehrer*innen, die mit ihren Schüler*innen über Messenger in Kontakt stehen? Ein Umstand, auf den bis vor der Coronapandemie zu Beginn des Jahres 2020 wahrscheinlich von vielen Seiten mit Irritation bis hin zu ablehnendem Kopfschütteln reagiert wurde. Das Distance Learning hat es notwendig gemacht, sich neue Wege der Kommunikation zu suchen. Auch nach der Pandemie wird es wahrscheinlich keine Selbstverständlichkeit sein. Wahrscheinlich werden von manchen Lehrer*innen Vorteile gesehen, aber zu welchem Preis? Kommunikation wird erleichtert, aber muss man denn wirklich noch abends für die Schüler*innen erreichbar sein? Für Probleme, die vielleicht gar nichts mit der Schule zu tun haben? Auch mag einem die Frage in den Sinn kommen, ob diese Art der Kommunikation zwischen Lehrer*innen und Schüler*innen grundsätzlich als angemessen gelten kann. Führt diese Kommunikation nicht auch ganz allgemein und breit gefächert zu Grenzüberschreitungen? Diese – und viele weitere – Fragen sind bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sowohl rechtlich als auch administrativ, vor allem aber aus empirisch-erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive weitestgehend unbeantwortet geblieben. Diese Arbeit möchte einen Beitrag dazu leisten, diese Lücke zu schließen. Im Mittelpunkt der Überlegungen und der empirischen Ausarbeitung steht dabei, wie die Nutzung von Messengern bekannte Konzeptionen von Privatheit, von Beziehungen zwischen Lehrer*innen und Schüler*innen und dem (schulischen) Raum berührt.

Book SynopsisIn diesem Buch geht es um die praktischen und theoretischen Grundlagen des Lehrens und des Lernens, konkretisiert am Beispiel des Informatikunterrichts. Der erste Teil beschreibt kurz, welche Themen für eine systematische Vorbereitung des Unterrichts erforderlich sind. Dazu gehören beispielsweise die Sachanalyse, die Bestimmung von Lernzielen und auch die Theorien aus den verschiedenen erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, die hier von Belang sind. Diese Theorien sind Gegenstand des zweiten Teils, nämlich Lern-theorien, Kommunikations- und Kognitionstheorien, Theorien des sozialen Milieus, Aspekte der Gruppendynamik und Theorien sozialer Rollen. Im dritten Teil werden diese Theorien durch Computermodelle präzisiert, die mit Techniken der Künstlichen Intelligenz realisiert worden sind. Lernprozesse und sozio-kognitive Prozesse werden in den Modellen analysiert und ermöglichen dadurch ein tieferes Verständnis der Aspekte, die für Lehren und Lernen von Bedeutung sind. Gleichzeitig werden Anregungen für den Informatikunterricht – und nicht nur für diesen – gegeben, da sich die hier dargestellten Programme auch sehr gut im Unterricht einsetzen lassen. Das gilt auch andere Schulfächer, die mit Hilfe dieser Modelle interdisziplinäre Lehr- und Lernprojekte realisieren können.Table of ContentsAspekte der Unterrichtsvorbereitung, didaktische Modelle, Sachanalyse, Hierarchie von Lernzielen am Beispiel der Informatik, Notwendigkeit interdisziplinärer Ausbildung; Theorien der Sozialisation, des Lernens, der Gruppendynamik, der Kommunikation und Kognition, pädagogisch-professionelles Handeln, soziale Rollen; Computermodelle für den Unterricht und im Unterricht, Künstliche Intelligenz, lernende Programme, vernetztes Denken; Computermodelle sozialer und kognitiver Prozesse.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Transforming Pedagogies Through Engagement with
Book SynopsisThis book identifies three types of influential forces that pose challenges to innovations: socio-cultural dynamics, teacher individuality, and local circumstances. It uses languages, cultural traits, and intellectual heritages in the Asia-Pacific region as an example to show the resistance to Western-based pedagogies due to disparities between the innovations and these local heritages. It reveals personal and professional values that teachers hold and how these values, while seemingly supporting creative ideologies, happen to prevent them from incorporating innovations in their practices. The book discusses how informal educational activities and services that a society possesses could impede pedagogical innovations. There is, therefore, a need for institutions and educators to develop a positive relationship between these phenomena and teaching innovations.Table of ContentsPart I - Learners’ socio-cultural dynamics as resistance to change.- 1.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Writing as a Method for the Self-Study of
Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the writing process in the self-study of teaching and teacher education practices. It addresses writing as an area in which teacher educators can develop their skills and represents how to write in ways that are compatible with self-study's orientations towards the inquiry, both personal and on practice. The book examines effective self-study writing with chapters written by experienced self-study practitioners. In addition to considering elements of writing as a method for the self-study of practice, it delves into the cognitive processes of real writers making explicit their writing practices. Practical suggestions are connected to the lived experiences of self-study practitioners making sense of their field through the process of writing. This book will be of interest to doctoral and novice self-study writers, and experienced authors seeking to develop their practice. It demonstrates that writing as a method of inquiry in self-study and beyond can be learned, modeled and taught.Trade Review Table of Contents

Springer Verlag, Singapore Perspectives on the Knowledge Problem in New
Book SynopsisThis book offers new ideas for thinking about how more equitable outcomes might be achieved in New Zealand so that all students are well-equipped to live and work in contemporary society. It addresses a social justice concern about access to the unique affordances of subject knowledge which comprises two forms of knowledge - propositional (knowledge-that) and applied knowledge (know-how-to).The book provides perspectives on curriculum design by grounding arguments in a theory of knowledge. It describes the different knowledge forms of the theory, and argues that understanding these differences is significant for curriculum design and enactment. It explains why the current imbalance between knowledge forms is a problem, and offers suggestions for change. Understanding about knowledge itself enables more just and equitable outcomes for all students. This book illustrates how different knowledge types and forms can be used together productively to help students develop adaptive expertise for the 21st century, making it a valuable contribution to the field of education. Trade Review“The book will prove valuable for several groups of readers. It provides postgraduate students and academics alike with a useful introduction to core concepts in social realism, as applied to the New Zealand educational context. … The book also provides an accessible read for teacher-curriculum developers seeking to understand the curriculum development process and experiment with using the CDC model to improve the coherence of their curricula.” (Liyun Wendy Choo, New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 58 (1), 2023)Table of Contents1 Introduction.- 2 The components of a national curriculum.- 3 Three models of teaching: A framework for thinking about education.- 4 Knowledge: What teachers need to know.- 5 Knowledge marginalisation in curriculum and practice.- 6 Knowledge and the 'Identity Directive'.- 7 The TAP/CDC combination for bi/multilingual students: Illustrating the relationship between knowledge-that and knowledge-how.- 8 A curriculum for 21st century learners.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Teaching Performance Assessments as a Cultural
Book SynopsisThis book explores how well teachers are prepared for professional practice. It is an outcome of a large-scale research and development program that has collected extensive data on the impact of the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment on Initial Teacher Education programs and preservice teachers’ engagement with the assessment. It contributes to international debates in teacher education by examining an Australian experience of teacher performance assessments as a catalyst for cultural change and practice reform in teacher education. The respective chapters describe and critique this unique, multi-institutional investigation into the quality of teacher education and present substantial evidence, drawing on a variety of conceptual, empirical and methodological entry points. Further, they address the intellectual, experiential and personal resources and related expertise that teacher educators and preservice teachers bring to their practice. Taken together, they offer readers clearly conceptualised and evidence-rich accounts of site-specific and cross-site investigations into cultural, pedagogical and assessment change in Initial Teacher Education.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Handbook of Teaching Competency Development in
Book SynopsisThis is an open access book. It draws from relevant theories and approaches to teachers’ professional development (TPD) and innovative and inspiring TPD practices in higher education. It first lays a solid foundation for the rest of the book, through critiquing prevalent theories, approaches, and teaching competency frameworks guiding TPD in higher education, and defining the key concepts related to TPD. The book then develops a standard framework and assessment instrument of teaching competencies as well as ways of using this framework by institutions, departments at different levels, and individual teachers. It also proposes strategies for improving teachers’ teaching competencies by reviewing what has been achieved to date in TPD in terms of national-level policies and strategies, institutional-level interventions, and teachers’ self-directed professional development. Finally, it also presents case studies of typical practices in TPD in different countries.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Definitions and Theoretical Foundations.- Standards Framework and Evaluation Instruments.- Teaching Competency Development.- Practices of Teaching Competency Development.

Information Age Publishing PDS and Community Schools: The Nexus of Practice
Book SynopsisHow the Professional Development School and Community School strategy might benefit from an integrated perspective serves as the guiding framework for this volume of Research in Professional Development Schools. This book advocates for blending these two approaches to address the needs of P-20 settings and their communities. Because we recognize the inherent strengths in both models, we encouraged chapters that had as a primary focus one or both models as they sought to support teacher preparation and K-12 partners. Subsequently, a series of questions framed the conversation around the potential for combining these models as well as what such an integrated model might present for teacher education programs, K-12 partners, and their communities. Since this volume explores three different aspects of the relationship between Professional Development Schools and Community Schools, a set of guiding questions were offered to guide the specific models addressed.Table of Contents Introduction, Ronald S.

Information Age Publishing Beyond Provincialism: Promoting Global
Book SynopsisInternational Education Inquiries is a book series dedicated to realizing the global vision of Education 2030. This vision involves "ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all." The founding editors seek to provide a forum for the diverse voices of scholars and practitioners from across the globe, asking questions about transforming the vision of Education 2030 into a reality. Published chapters will reflect a variety of formats, free of methodological restrictions, involving disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary inquiries. We expect the series will be a leading forum for pioneers redefining the global discussion about the people, places, and perspectives shaping Education 2030 outcomes.Trade ReviewThe educational impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has created the most serious crisis in the history of public education. Addressing this crisis effectively will require efforts aligned with an inclusive and sustainable vision of development, such as articulated by the UN Education 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. To build back better educators need to guide their practice by knowledge that is local as well as global, in ways that help their students understand those interdependencies. Beyond Provincialism is an invitation to such an exploration. In this edited volume, Professors Mahmoud Suleiman and Tonya Huber and their colleagues take the reader on a journey that illuminates the impact of hunger among college students in America, how the SDGs can help turnaround high poverty schools, the role of curriculum to promote cross-national collaboration, and how math and science instruction, as well as study abroad, can help students develop procedural and conceptual knowledge that makes visible the relevance of what they learn to the world around them and the impact of the pandemic on teacher preparation in Palestine. The kaleidoscope of insights offered by this book will expand the global awareness and understanding of education as a global activity. A timely and useful resource for teachers and teacher educators that will contribute to advance a transformational education that helps us build back better from the devastation created by the pandemic."— Fernando M. Reimers, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Suleiman and Huber convene a dynamic group of scholars committed to transforming our schools. Using the latest theories and methodological approaches, Beyond Provincialism offers crucial frameworks to understand teaching and learning in a global perspective. This groundbreaking volume wholeheartedly embraces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and calls upon all of us to simultaneously dismantle systemic inequality and promote equity and social justice in pre-K-20 schools across nations and their institutions. It's simply a must-read book, especially for practitioners, educators, reformers, researchers, and policy-makers who seek to internationalize education and take it beyond its cursory provincial goals."— Gilberto Q. Conchas, Wayne K. and Anita Woolfolk Hoy, Pennsylvania State University "At a time when proponents of diversity, equity and inclusion are under attack, it is valuable to examine Beyond Provincialism to see how far we still need to go to reform schools and invest in teacher, educator and leader preparation. Grounded in solid frameworks, this timely and informative book astutely provides insights from forceful practitioners, scholars, and researchers whose fascinating experiences and models have practical implications for promoting global multicultural competencies needed to combat racist mindsets and provincial outlooks. Based on Education 2030 vision, the book provides a thoughtful blueprint for integrating international and global dimensions in teacher and educator preparation."— Ken Magdaleno, Center for Leadership, Equity, and Research (CLEAR)Table of Contents Interpretive Framework: The Place of Sustainable Development Goals in Educator Preparation Programs for Local–Global Professionals, Mahmoud Suleiman and Tonya Huber.

Information Age Publishing Conceptualizing Truth: Implications for Teaching
Book SynopsisIt has been widely noted that society has moved away from seeing truth as an objective and, in some ways, important part of what it means to be educated. Varied conceptions of truth have existed and have been debated in the halls of academia for years but recently a shift has occurred in which truth has lost its status broadly as a virtue. In fact, in 2016, Oxford Dictionary declared "post-truth" as its international word of the year, defined as: 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief'. Living in a world that is post-truth has direct implications on the education of a society's youth.This book will examine several broad conceptions of truth and present them as truth profiles considering their implications for education. This survey will consider the role of truth as it relates to teaching and the act of being a teacher, engage with challenging questions about what curriculum will be learned and its implications for our understanding of truth and specific consideration is attended to the impacts that one's conception of truth has for what they prioritize in the classroom, their instructional practice, and on learning itself. This book will take a focused look at the concept of truth and how varied conceptions of truth impact teaching and learning through theoretical, analytic, and practical examples.Table of Contents Introduction CHAPTER 1: Truth and Broad Truth Profiles CHAPTER 2: The Role of Truth in Education CHAPTER 3: Who Decides?

Information Age Publishing Teaching to Prepare Advocates
Book SynopsisThis book is the fourth volume in the six-part series Theory to Practice: Educational Psychology for Teachers and Teaching. The objective of most other volumes in this series is to help instructors apply and model fundamental principles of learning, assessment, motivation, and development in preparing their students for the diverse, multidimensional, uncertain, and socially-embedded classrooms in which these future educators will teach.This volume is a strong compliment to others in the series as it prepares readers to be better positioned to advocate for principles of psychology in their programs and departments, and to prepare preservice teachers to do likewise in the K-12 classrooms they will soon guide. Even more, this volume will help instructors in shaping pre-service teachers to be stronger advocates for their own students.This volume is organized around two themes: (1) Advocating for principles and practices of educational psychology, and (2) advocating for students. These themes go hand-in-hand. While advocating for educational psychology principles and evidence- based practices in their schools, teachers also are called upon to advocate for and empower historically marginalized groups of students. Topics in Part I include development of intercultural competency, implementation of professional learning communities, culturalizing the curriculum, journalistic learning, incorporation of inquiry learning, and universal design. Topics in Part II include supporting student self-advocacy, creating an allyship with LGBTQ+ students, advocating for victims of bullying, and supporting students with mental health needs.

Information Age Publishing Innovative Approaches to Teaching Multilingual
Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to guide teachers to understand theory related to teaching multilingual students and put it into practice in their classrooms. Throughout each chapter, the authors uniquely bring together relevant theory regarding language (e.g. the multilingual turn, second language acquisition, translanguaging) literacy (e.g. reading comprehension, new literacy studies, multimodality), and culture (e.g. funds of knowledge, culturally sustaining pedagogies). The chapter authors (practicing ESL, bilingual, world language, language immersion, and mainstream teachers) share how they are innovatively teaching multilingual students by understanding theory and applying it to their instructional setting.The audience for this book is teachers of multilingual students who are in the dynamic process of language acquisition. This includes TESOL/ESL, bilingual, language immersion, and world language teachers, as well as mainstream teachers who teach bilingual students—essentially all educators in modern society. The book is of particular interest for teacher education programs since each chapter explains theory and then illustrates exactly how one teacher put that theory into practice in teaching multilingual students.

Information Age Publishing Jamaican Teachers, Jamaican Schools: Life and
Book SynopsisNowhere is teachers' lives and work more challenging than in Jamaican schools. Teachers in Jamaica are regularly faced with limited resources and challenging students. Teacher pay has been historically low and current conditions continue a long tradition of providing minimal compensation for teachers' work. Recent school reform efforts has been successful in producing a teaching force that is better educated than ever before, and yet, teachers are seldom given the autonomy in decision-making and/or respect that accompanies the work of comparable professions. Coupled with these issues, teachers regularly face hunger, poverty, behavioral issues and a lack of parental support as part and parcel of their experience in 21st century schools. If teachers are perceived as having low professional status, it is not surprising that they are often blamed for the shortcomings of Jamaican schools. The citizens of Jamaica are firmly committed to the notion that "every child can learn, every child must learn;" however, the reality is that while all children can learn, many children do not learn in this country where the allocation of resources favors the rich and disowns the poor. Public schools in Jamaica vary tremendously across the fourteen parishes. Geography and social class regularly determine both the context and circumstances of teachers' work, and yet, discussions of teachers seldom acknowledge the differences.There is a place for a more in-depth examination of teachers' work and teachers' lives in Jamaica where a consideration of the emergence of teacher leadership and higher professional status can intersect with a vision of new roles and responsibilities for teachers. While many of the reports on Jamaican education consider the role of administrative leaders, there is an absence of any discussion of the role of teacher leaders is school reform. It is interesting that a country can advocate for higher levels of teacher preparation and an upgrading of the professional status of teachers, and yet, ignore the potential power of teachers as major actors directing efforts to reform the schools. Teachers acting as leaders, in a profession dominated by women, would challenge the status quo and usurp preconceived notions regarding the work of teachers. In this book, 21st century descriptions of teachers' lives and work will accompany a consideration of how the transformation of the teaching profession could positively impact both schools and classrooms across the island.

Information Age Publishing Developing Trauma-Informed Teachers: Creating
Book SynopsisThe vision and development of this edited text are driven by a deep desire to ensure that teacher candidates are thoughtfully prepared to more fully address students' needs and create classroom environments that are safe for students and teachers. Specifically, this text will provide an understanding of how educator preparation programs are providing teacher candidates with the knowledge and skills to effectively utilize an asset-based approach to foster resiliency skills that support P-12 students who have or are experiencing trauma. This text considers how programs are developing equity-focused content, curriculum, & pedagogy to ensure teacher candidates can integrate trauma-informed practices as well as develop their own resiliency skills. This resource highlights important and relevant tools, strategies, and approaches for preparing future teachers to implement traumainformed practices within their classrooms.In recent years, much attention and resources focused on preparing teachers to more comprehensively address, acknowledge, and understand childhood trauma and the impact it has on students' lives inside and outside of the classroom. This text will be of interest to all those working in institutes of higher education, alternative licensure programs, and organizations, public schools, and districts involved with the preparation of teachers and/or professional development of in-service educators. It has the potential to serve as a catalyst for teacher preparation programs to more intentionally integrate trauma-informed practices in meaningful ways and contribute to a glaring gap within the literature focused on the systematic ways in which childhood trauma and resiliency development are being addressed in the preparation of teachers.

Information Age Publishing Exemplary Clinical Models of Teacher Education
Book SynopsisAcross settings, teacher education programs utilize innovative practices to prepare teacher candidates, yet rarely is this work shared in a way that is accessible to stakeholders. This book presents exemplary models utilized by universities in a variety of settings, with the objective of sharing with readers a sampling of research-based teacher preparation models that are currently in place at accredited universities and colleges across the country, in an effort to help others that are developing or redesigning their programs. Authors of the included chapters focused on the setting in which their college/university is located. Location impacts every aspect of a clinical model of teacher preparation, including the number and proximity of placements that are available for teacher candidates, access to resources, and diversity of experiences. The authors, in describing their clinical model, address how their location impacts their model, sharing information about the resources to which they have access, how they make use of available resources in potentially unique ways, as well as how they overcome a lack of resources to provide a meaningful and diverse experience for their candidates. Readers will be able to use this book to learn more about how similar colleges/universities are embracing their locations and resources to further the learning of their candidates and to implement these ideas within their own programs.All those involved in teacher preparation – state-level policy makers, university and P-12 administrators, and educators who bridge university and school settings to work together to prepare teacher candidates – will benefit from this book. It can serve as a resource for these individuals to help inform them of how universities and colleges across the country are implementing a clinically-based teacher preparation program so that they have a model for creating, implementing, assessing, and maintaining their own program. Additionally, teacher education faculty and staff may utilize it for help with self-studies and accreditation purposes, and as a text to use within courses in principal and/or superintendent preparatory programs.

Readers will be able to use this book to learn more about how similar colleges/universities are embracing their locations and resources to further the learning of their candidates and to implement these ideas within their own programs.All those involved in teacher preparation – state-level policy makers, university and P-12 administrators, and educators who bridge university and school settings to work together to prepare teacher candidates – will benefit from this book. It can serve as a resource for these individuals to help inform them of how universities and colleges across the country are implementing a clinically-based teacher preparation program so that they have a model for creating, implementing, assessing, and maintaining their own program. Additionally, teacher education faculty and staff may utilize it for help with self-studies and accreditation purposes, and as a text to use within courses in principal and/or superintendent preparatory programs.

Book SynopsisWhite Christian Nationalism is "an ideology that seeks to idealize and advocate a fusion of American Civic life with a… White Christian ethnoculture" rooted in traditionalism, anti-immigration, and their judicial codification (Gorski & Perry, 2021). Though the Establishment Clause clearly delineates a boundary between religion and state. Despite the clarity of this division in the Establishment Clause, this bedrock of our democracy has faced nearconstant pressure from Christian right. Recently, this pressure has taken the form of strategic efforts to stack the Supreme Court of conserative judges and control local school boards by waging fear and misinformation campaigns. Political division, a lack of healthy discourse about religious diversity, and misunderstandings about the Establishment Clause have left many educators unsure about their role in valuing religious diversity in their schools and classrooms, and their responsibilities to maintain religious freedom for all students.This book leverages the power of story to animate the dangerous legal and cultural assault on the separation of church and state in U.S. public schools. All of the chapter authors attend to these themes from distinct vantage points across education theory and research, K-12 education, and teacher education, addressing issues such as religious freedom, education law, teacher and student identity, and teaching for inclusive, critical citizenship in a contentious U.S. political context. Additionally, authors offer practical resources for responding to enemies of religious freedom, White Christian nationalism, and xenophobia as it is manifested in policy and practice within K-12 and higher education.
