Teaching of a specific subject Books

Book SynopsisThe book, Teaching ELLs Across Content Areas: Issues and Strategies, is a unique, useful text written for K–12 teachers. This book is the culmination of the professional knowledge, expertise, and experience from the distinguished authors who represent the entire range of the content areas, including: language arts, science, mathematics, technology, arts, psychology, and Hispanic studies.The ELL school population has reached 5.3 million with the increase rate of 51 percent from School Yearr 1998-1999 to 2008-2009 (NCELA, 2012). By 2025, one out of four K-12 students will be ELLs (NEA Policy Brief, 2013). The NEA data states that the ELLs are the fastest-growing student populatio n group in our schools and providing them with high-quality services and programs is an important investment in America’s future (NEA Policy Brief, 2013). With the fast growth of the ELLs in schools, basic information and strategies are needed by all K-12 teachers. This book provides useful information and strategies for all K-12 teachers in content classrooms. This book has three significances. First, the book provides the most needed information for K-12 teachers with issues and strategies that are important in content areas to help ELLs’ success. With the fast growth of the ELLs in schools, K-12 teachers need this information in conte nt classrooms. Second, the book fills the gap related to teaching ELLs in content areas. There are some existing books with titles on teaching ELLs across content areas; yet, these books provide general information with fewer books that really address specific content topics. This book is unique because it has the dedicated chapters for specific content areas, e.g., Language Arts, Science, Math, Social Studies with issues and strategies in these respective contents as well as general information, e.g., L2 theories for teachers to know and work with ELLs. Third, the book is reader-friendly with carefullycrafted chapters. Each chapter begins with a scenario to catch the reader’s attention, is followed by issues and strategies, and ends with a summary. A scenario begins with each chapter for teachers to get to know the ELLs with the content that focuses on the related information and teaching strategies. With the continued increase in the ELL school population, this book is intended helping all K-12 teachers in content areas have knowledge and stategies to better serve their ELLs.

Book SynopsisBoost young children’s problem-solving skills and set them up for long-term success with the second edition of this practical guidebook! Enhanced with new lessons and timely topics—including equity and the use of makerspaces—this book will help you get all children ready for kindergarten by teaching them basic practices of engineering design and critical thinking skills.Using a clear instructional framework and fun lesson plans tailored for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, you’ll guide your “emerging engineers” as they explore big ideas and develop new ways of thinking through engaging and challenging learning experiences. Practical materials include classroom-tested activities that incorporate children’s books, self-reflection checklists, practical strategies and modifications, Early Childhood UDL Planning Sheets, and blank Experience Planning Templates.EDUCATORS WILL Introduce hands-on learning experiences that teach critical thinking skills—curiosity, persistence, flexibility, reflection, and collaboration Demystify and teach key phases of engineering design: think about it, try it, fix it, and share it Support school readiness by helping children work toward kindergarten standards, including Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards Use universal design for learning (UDL) principles to ensure that learning experiences work for all children, with and without disabilities Encourage language and literacy development with suggestions for weaving reading into problem-solving experiences and using language to prompt children’s thinking skills Promote other skills needed for school success, including social-emotional skills, self-regulation, and executive functioning WHAT’S NEW: Three new themes: computational thinking, makerspaces, and inclusion and equity in STEM Every lesson plan updated More lessons based on new children’s books New art/music/drama lesson options for STEAM-focused schools More coverage of spatial development Expanded information on assessment Updated book resources and referencesTable of Contents Tentative 2nd edition Table of Contents (prior to revision) About the Authors Acknowledgements A Note to the Reader Part 1- Why Engineering and Problem Solving are Important Early Childhood Inclusive Classrooms Chapter 1: Young children are Natural Problem Solvers In this chapter, we would review material from Engaging Young Engineers about the importance of teaching critical thinking and problem solving and a method to do that using the engineering design process. We would review our early childhood model and talk about how you can incorporate these lessons and chapters into preschool and kindergarten classes so that they address STEM and literacy. Finally, we would review the applications of Universal Design for Learning in the problem-solving process and how these lessons are applicable to all classrooms, including those with students with disabilities and students who are emerging bilinguals. Currently, Chapter 1 serves to (a) review key prior work to bring STEM learning to children from birth to age 5, (b) “demystify” engineering design, and (c) introduce the five thinking skills that are important to engineering design as well as to young children’s problem-solving development. We will maintain these three goals for Chapter 1, but we will update each of the three main sections. In the “Approaches to STEM Learning” section, we will refer to more recent texts and curriculum materials including recent preschool-aimed “Wee Engineer” program by the Engineering Is Elementary group at Museum of Science Boston and the “Storybook STEM” resources by TERC and the University of Notre Dame, and Marina Bers’ “Coding as a Playground” work on computational thinking with young children. We will also acknowledge making/maker spaces as an important recent turn in STEM education more broadly. In the “Engineering Design Demystified” section, we will update the “shopping cart challenge” example of engineering design to a more recent case with more contemporary references, and we will expand definitions of engineering and technology to incorporate humanistic aspects such as understanding societal impact, collaborating closely with communities, and using engineering in one’s own home and community. We will acknowledge that the engineering profession has a problematic history of excluding and marginalizing people of color and that the public narrative about engineering has not historically recognized all the STEM problem solving that occurs in the daily lives of people from all backgrounds, including people of color. We will articulate a goal of reversing this pattern. In the “Our Problem Solving Framework” section, we will make updates to incorporate recent attention to computational thinking as a component of modern problem solving. We will discuss how computational thinking is used within engineering design even when computer programming is not explicitly needed. As we introduce the five thinking skills, we will mention the most relevant computational thinking practices for both engineering and young children, including decomposition (breaking apart a larger system, process, or problem into smaller, more manageable chunks) and algorithmic thinking (systematically generating a process that produces similar outcomes given similar inputs). Chapter 2: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in Inclusive Early Childhood Settings While this chapter will remain largely the same, we will update the explanations to include insights from Six Steps to Inclusive Preschool Curriculum by Eva Horn et al. (2018) and Universal Design for Learning in the Early Childhood Classroom: Teaching Children of All Languages, Cultures, and Abilities, Birth-8 Years by Brillante and Nemeth (2017). We will also update the “Research Evidence…” section and add newer references throughout the chapter, as applicable. We would also consider moving the section on the profile children from “Note to Reader” in the pre-matter to this chapter and adding a few more vignettes with children from with different abilities, languages, and cultures to Chapters 3-7 after briefly adding introductions to those children here. Part 2: Overview of the Book Format, Templates, and Tools In this section, we will remind readers of the overall format of the remaining chapters with lessons and units and the various templates and tools available in each chapter. The lessons can still be taught as stand-alone lessons or as units. Each chapter will be aligned to a thinking kills and include two (2) lessons for each age group (previously it had one lesson). Chapters 3-7 with the lessons will follow the same format and use several different text features to support teachers in implementing the units, such as teacher annotations as reminders or thought bubbles with possible questions teachers could ask students at various moments in the lesson. We will introduce new books to use with the lesson for each age group, both fiction and non-fiction books. We will also include references to ways to include Makerspaces in these lessons and products from Makerspaces in the lessons. In each chapter from 3-7, it will follow the same format. Goals and Objectives of the unit NGSS and CCSS addressed and pre-requisite skills addressed The original set of lessons (with any needed updates) A new set of lessons (one infant, one toddler, and one preschool) in each thinking chapter Directions on how to apply the engineering design process concepts in lessons/unit Literature links for fiction and non-fiction texts related to the lessons and content UDL template for the unit Connections to ways to incorporate Ideas for Low cost/no cost materials to use in the unit Chapter 3 – Curious Thinkers Chapter 4 – Persistent Thinkers Chapter 5 – Flexible thinkers Chapter 6 – Reflective thinkers Chapter 7 – Collaborative thinkers Chapter 8: Curious, Persistent, Flexible, Reflective, and Collaborative Teachers This chapter will be updated with a new vignette and any editorial updates that are needed. In this chapter, we will also help teachers to be more explicit in how they design their lessons for STEM and how to connect the use of Makerspace. We will look at what that means for teachers and how teachers become equipped and can experience Makerspaces themselves, as well as create them for others. Chapter 9: Tools and Resources for Teachers (new chapter) This chapter will provide links and suggestions for teachers who want to do more with STEM, engineering education, and problem solving in their classroom. We will offer additional tips and tricks on how to infuse STEM into your classrooms.

Book SynopsisTeachers Bridging Difference describes how educators can move out of their comfort zones and practice connecting with others across differences to become culturally responsive teachers. Based on a course developed for preservice teachers, the book illustrates how educators can draw on the visual arts as a resource to explore their own identities and those of their students, and how to increase their understanding of the ways our lives intersect across sociocultural differences.Drawing on scholarship from multiple disciplines and from her own experience, Marit Dewhurst identifies four stances designed to help educators connect with students in today's multicultural classrooms. To practice these stances, the book introduces eight arts-based activities that can be used by educators in multiple contexts. Ranging from community maps and conversation portraits to scenario comics and reflection zines, the activities are designed to be accessible to even those with little arts experience and can be executed with a wide variety of materials and media.Unique and timely, Teachers Bridging Difference is an arts-based toolkit for teachers interested in exploring issues of identity and difference as a foundation for creating a more just and equal society.

Book SynopsisScience Education Through Multiple Literacies explores how the use of project-based learning in elementary science education fosters a lifelong scientific mindset in students. The book provides educators with the teaching practices to help students develop an overall science literacy that aligns with Next Generation Science Standards. Editors Joseph Krajcik and Barbara Schneider and the book’s contributors offer a comprehensive overview of the Multiple Literacies in Project-Based Learning (ML-PBL) approach to science learning, which interweaves scientific ideas and practices, language literacy, and mathematical thinking. ML-PBL supports the teaching of science by paralleling what scientists do: it engages students and their teachers in investigating real-world questions, constructing models, and using evidence to evaluate claims. The book presents compelling case studies of ML-PBL, how teachers use them, and how the teachers’ enactment transforms the classroom into an environment that builds and supports academic and student SEL. Representing both urban and suburban schools, the case studies include classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, and student artifacts to illustrate how to make science relevant in students’ lives. Krajcik and Schneider note that classroom enactment of ML-PBL requires intentional instructional practices and new ways of thinking about what it means to learn. Easing this challenge, they equip elementary science teachers with curricular resources including high-quality instructional materials, professional-learning exercises, and formative assessments.Science Education Through Multiple Literacies provides the necessary elements to transform science teaching and learning so that students learn the skills to navigate with confidence through our complex world.

Book SynopsisHealth education and physical education are traditionally siloed—for no good reason, according to authors Matthew Cummiskey and Frances Cleland Donnelly.So, through Elementary School Wellness Education, the two authors provide a blueprint, complete with lesson plans, for teachers to fuse health education and physical education into one elementary school class.“Students should be educated in a more holistic manner,” says Cummiskey. “We applied the concept of school wellness education at the elementary level, which has components of both traditional health education and physical education.”Elementary School Wellness Education offers the following: 37 detailed lesson plans for grades K-5 (19 lessons for K-2 and 18 lessons for grades 3-5) that are tied to SHAPE America Outcomes and National Health Education Performance Indicators Clear instruction on how to apply the plans, making it perfect for both preservice and in-service teachers More than 70 lesson plan handouts (with four-color graphics), available in the HKPropel platform, that are easy for teachers to print A test package, presentation package, and instructor guide that make this ideal for existing and emerging teacher education courses A typical School Wellness Education (SWE) lesson combines classroom-based learning activities—such as discussions, worksheets, and videos—with physical activity. All the lessons in the book take place in the gymnasium, so there’s no need for a separate health education classroom. In addition, the SWE approach helps teachers maximize their instruction time by meeting multiple learning standards simultaneously.“The lessons are learning focused, with each activity carefully aligned to the objectives,” says Cleland Donnelly. “Moreover, they’re fun. Students aren’t sitting in a traditional classroom learning health; they’re doing it in the gym.” SWE also uses traditional PE equipment—and the gym—in new and creative ways, she adds. “This is especially important in schools that lack a separate health education classroom.”Elementary School Wellness Education addresses emergent pedagogies such as skill-based education, universal design for learning, social and emotional learning, and social justice, helping both in-service and preservice teachers understand how to use and benefit from these pedagogical approaches. It also guides readers in how to teach wellness education online as effectively as face-to-face. Teachers will learn how to teach the content in person, online, or in a hybrid approach.“The good news for teachers is that SWE is not a dramatic departure from existing instruction,” says Cummiskey. “Students are still moving and being taught in the gymnasium, but now health content and skills are being infused into all the lessons.”The book, he says, is also suitable for use by classroom teachers looking to promote wellness or incorporate additional physical activity into their students’ days. “The intent is to imbue students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to lead a healthy life into and through adulthood,” he says.Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.

Book SynopsisThe concept of intersectionality considers the interconnected nature or overlap of multiple categorizations such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic class, and physical ability. For Black students already experiencing inequalities, being “Black and . . .” (female, queer, or another marginalized identity) can lead to encounters that further devalue their identities or leave them feeling unseen.Intersectionality in Health Education seeks to prompt meaningful reflection on the current status of health education and to ultimately result in more equitable practices for all students. It will help health educators identify their implicit biases, examine how intersectionality is affecting Black students, and build classrooms where all students are seen and valued. Through a collection of 10 case studies, Intersectionality in Health Education offers insights into the issues that students who identify as “Black and . . .” commonly face. The text, geared to health education teacher education (HETE) students as well as in-service teachers, does the following: Illuminates culturally aware teaching strategies that affirm the worth of “Black and . . .” students Amplifies crucial issues that negatively affect students with intersectional identities Addresses intentional or unconscious biases that harm Black youths, thus broadening the book’s value beyond the sharing of teaching strategies With a goal of generating a deeper understanding of how intersectionality creates complexities for Black students, the case studies in the book expose the disparities, racism, and other issues affecting students’ well-being, self-worth, and positive experiences in the health classroom. Each case includes discussion prompts that lead the way to effective strategies and immediate implementation opportunities. Topics explored include the following: Self-awareness and social awareness in a predominantly white school environment Classroom climate and culturally responsive teaching The dilemma of Black health care access, socioecological factors, and social determinants of health Health education spaces created with Black and Brown girls in mind Perceptions, identity, and opportunities for Black males Additionally, the text provides tips and guidance for writing your own case study. Through this experience, you will gain the opportunity to look at a scenario with the goal of observing and analyzing behaviors, reviewing theory and practices, and analyzing, problem solving, and promoting discussion on a given topic.Intersectionality in Health Education will help preservice and in-service teachers adopt teaching practices that create a supportive, empathetic, and nurturing environment. In doing so, they can help validate “Black and . . .” students’ self-worth and swing the pendulum toward a more equitable experience in health education for all students.Table of ContentsCase Study 1: “Why Can’t You Just Ask for Help?” The dilemma of Black health care access, socioecological factors, and social determinants of healthCara D.

Book SynopsisNever before has technology played such a central role in education. In 2020, seemingly over night, technology took centre stage in the delivery of not just some education, but all education and the metaphors to describe this time leaned heavily on catastrophic terms of revolution, tsunami, and disruption. But why do apocalyptic metaphors abound in the field of ed tech and what purpose do they serve? As author Martin Weller explores, there is significant potential for the use of metaphor in ed tech. He demonstrates that metaphors can enable educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into more imaginative and playful uses of technology while he cautions against many of the existing metaphors that play into the adoption of technology that damages and limits the learner experience. Metaphors of Ed Tech is essential reading for anyone involved in education, but particularly those still determining the impact and potential of the unprecedented pivot to online learning in 2020.

Book SynopsisSurviving The Induction Years of Language Teaching is unique to the language teaching profession because it outlines the detailed experiences of one ESL teacher during his first year and then during his third year to see what challenges he encountered during these important novice years. It is important for teacher educators, teachers and administrators to understand what novice teachers experience so that they can better be supported to become teachers for many more years to come. The results of this analysis will lead to the development of a comprehensive framework for the professional development of novice teachers through reflective practice that is grounded in the classroom realities of real teaching contexts so that they can develop beyond their novice years and become expert ESL teachers. In addition, the suggestions presented in this book can be operationalized as standards for future ESL/EFL teacher education and development programs worldwide.Table of Contents1: Setting The Scene 2: The Induction Years 3: Reflecting On Philosophy In The First Year 4: Reflecting On Principles In The First Year 5: Reflecting On Theory In The First Year 6: Reflecting On Practice In The First Year 7: Reflecting Beyond Practice In The First Year 8: Analyzing the First Year 9: Reflecting On Philosophy In The Third Year 10: Reflecting On Principles In The Third Year 11: Reflecting On Theory In The Third Year 12: Reflecting On Practice In The Third Year 13: Reflecting Beyond Practice In Third Year 14: Analyzing the Third Year 15: Professional Development Through Reflective Practice

Book SynopsisThe concept of reflective practice has proliferated over the last few decades in many professions such as medicine, law, business and education. Within the field of education reflective practice has become a very popular concept within teacher education and development programs and perhaps its main appeal according to Loughran (2000: 33) is that it 'rings true for most people as something useful' to practice. Indeed as McLaughlin (1999:9) has remarked, 'Who would want to champion the unreflective practitioner?' The general consensus is that teachers who are encouraged to engage in reflective practice can gain new insight of their practice. There have been similar developments in the field of teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) where the allure of reflective practice seems to have also been embraced as an important educational paradigm that should be supported in teacher education and development programs. This book is the first in a new series consisting of several practical oriented books that introduce cutting-edge research and practical applications of that research related to reflective practice in language education. Written by the series editor, it acts an introduction to the series and outlines and discusses the concept of reflective practice in general, the various models and approaches to reflective practice and gives guidance on cultivating reflective practice.

Book SynopsisRethinking the Second Language Listening Test argues that the key to more valid testing of second language listening lies in a better understanding of the nature of the skill and of the signal that listeners have to decode. Using this information as a point of departure, it takes a critical look at many of the myths and conventions behind listening tests and provides practical suggestions as to the ways in which they might be rethought. The book begins with an account of the various processes that contribute to listening in order to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by second language learners. The information feeds in to a new set of descriptors of listening behaviour across proficiency levels and informs much of the discussion in later chapters. The main body of the book critically examines the various components of a listening test, challenging some of the false assumptions behind them and proposing practical alternatives. The discussion covers: the recording-as-text, the recording-as-speech, conventions of test delivery, standard task formats and item design. Major themes are the critical role played by the recorded material and the degree to which tests impose demands that go beyond those of real-world listening. The following section focuses on two types of listener with different needs from the general candidate: those aiming to demonstrate academic or professional proficiency in English and young language learners, where level of cognitive development is an issue for test design. There is a brief reflection on the extent to which integrated listening tests reflect the reality of listening events. The book concludes with a report of a study into how feasible it is to identify the information load of a listening text, a factor potentially contributing to difficulty.Table of ContentsIntroduction A Cognitive Model for Testing Listening 1.

This is partly due to the renowned reputations of the three authors, but more so because the contents speak so clearly to various forms of experiential education common within our field of practice. The care taken to assemble these arguments should be matched by the reader's deep consideration of how these splendid ideas can be applied by every individual entrepreneurship educator. Every dedicated educator will benefit from this book.' --Colin Jones, University of Tasmania, Australia'This book, written by experienced teachers of entrepreneurship in lucid language, becomes an authoritative sourcebook for learning entrepreneurship with a set of useful exercises to practice. It can be recommended for graduate programmes of entrepreneurship and science and technology studies.' --Science and Public PolicyTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book Synopsis'As the author of a new book, Professionalizing Leadership, in which I take on the leadership industry, specifically the often careless and casual way in which we profess to teach how to lead, it gives me particular pleasure to highly recommend Teaching Leadership by Perruci and Hall. Though it's possible to take issue with some specifics, to anyone with any interest in leadership as pedagogical practice, especially but not exclusively at the undergraduate level, I say this book is not to be missed.'- Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, US and author of, among others, The End of Leadership, Followership, and Bad Leadership'This book is a must read for educators and students who want to master the fine art of developing leaders and becoming leaders.'- Prasad Kaipa, Kaipa Group, US'Teaching Leadership takes the reader from leadership traits to leadership transformation, and models the pedagogy it professes. Those of us who bridge theory and practice on a daily basis will find the historical, theoretical, and philosophical context in which leadership education, training and development are defined an invaluable prism through which we better understand the why, what and how of leadership. While this book comes close to being the canon we incessantly seek, the authors intentionally avoid this. Instead, they present an integrated complexity of information with glorious clarity. The coalescence of scientific knowledge, philosophical grounding, intentionality, reflection, preparation, thoroughness, program design and evaluation on which Teaching Leadership is based, is a benchmark for best practice in teaching and forming leadership.'- Katherine Tyler Scott, Ki ThoughtBridge LLC, USCan we really teach leadership? Yes, we can, and this book provides innovative ways of doing so. It is designed to help educators contribute to their learners? leadership development by expanding and enhancing their knowledge and competencies through a study of theory, practice and experiential learning. We need effective leaders at all levels of society. The more educators do to prepare leaders to make a positive difference, the better off the world will be. Educators can adjust, adopt, and adapt concrete examples provided in this book to fit their own organizations? needs. The authors explore time-tested efforts at linking leadership theory and practice in ways that promote meaningful leadership development for our learners. Starting from ''?why?'' and ''?what?'' about leadership, the book progresses to ''?how?'' to organize teaching leadership. It emphasizes lessons learned as a result of decades of experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of nationally recognized leadership programs. Each chapter includes reflection questions that allow educators to consider how the content is relevant or can be applied to their own institutional context.Teaching Leadership is written for educators and practitioners in undergraduate and graduate-level leadership programs, in professional schools, in technical institutes, and in government institutions, as well as for those working in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.Trade Review'Perruci and Hall affirm and delve deeper into the question, ''Can leadership be taught?'' by providing an understanding of leadership concepts conjoined with the ''why'' it is important to teach leadership and a framework for the ''how'' to go about it. In its wealth of examples, insights and suggestions every reader will find ideas of genuine value. Teaching Leadership is readily accessible, but solidly grounded in the rigor of theory and the relevance of practice.' --Cynthia Cherrey, International Leadership Association'Perruci and Hall have produced an essential guidebook for faculty members who are involved in leadership education. Drawing on decades of experience educating leaders, they approach teaching leadership from an interdisciplinary perspective, one that balances curricular and co-curricular methodologies, and provides the knowledge and tools necessary for a full and dynamic program of leadership education.' --Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College, US'Teaching Leadership is a great resource for academics interested in making positional and informal leaders more effective in dealing with wicked problems in the complex and challenging world we live in. Grounded in leadership for now, this book takes in centuries of human reflection on what constitutes a good leader and breaks it down in teachable steps to ensure all have access to tools to create great positive impact for a better world. Teaching leadership ensures there are no excuses to justify the ineptitude of our leaders in action!' --Eliane Ubalijoro, McGill University, Canada and C.L.E.A.R.

Book SynopsisStemming from the idea that economics is a social science that tends to forget its own history, this refreshing book reflects on the role of teaching with historical perspectives. It offers novel ways of integrating the history of economics into the curriculum, both in history of economic thought modules and in other sub-disciplines. Coming from a wide diversity of experiences, the contributors explore the idea that studying the history of thought exposes students to pluralism, and that it is therefore an essential pedagogical tool.They also argue that this method of teaching will reveal the historical contextualisation of current theories and show how they are the results of a specific evolution within the discipline. Ultimately, this book demonstrates how some modules have successfully operationalized both the history of economic thought and the teaching of various sub-disciplines from a historical perspective.Teaching the History of Economic Thought will be invaluable and enlightening for teaching and learning institutes across the academic world, as well as for economists, heterodox economists in particular, and social scientists.Contributors include: R. Bellofiore, G. Friedman, S. Fuller, J. Halevi, C. Repapis, L.-P. Rochon, S. Rossi, D. Tavasci, L. VentimigliaTrade Review'Mainstream economics is so reduced and skewed from reality that its teaching has always been and is becoming worse in substance and methods, creating legions of opportunities to take up alternative pedagogies. This book takes a step or three in this, judicially deploying the history of economic thought both to expose the narrowness of the mainstream and the richnesses it overlooks in the discipline's own history - to the mutual benefit of the critical faculties of students and teachers alike.' --Ben Fine, SOAS University of London, UK'This book argues that economics education reform is to be achieved through the history of economic thought. Not just by introducing students to the history of economic thought at the very beginning of their studies, but mainly by situating the material taught in every module in a historical perspective. Tavasci and Ventimiglia make a compelling case, and the individual chapters contain a wealth of detail as to how that can be achieved under a variety of conditions.' --Andrew Denis, City, University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisTeaching Environmental and Natural Resource Economics is a significant contribution to the literature of economics education. Theory and practice, teaching activities and exercises, and pro teaching tips are clearly and expertly presented.The editors begin by presenting a bit of the historical thought on the study of environmental and natural resource economics. Once the editors establish context, they provide a full exploration of both paradigms and pedagogy. The paradigm section provides models for teaching the variety of courses offered at the university level. The chapters bridge the gap between environmental and natural resource economics textbooks and the classroom, with guidance for how to approach course topics. The pedagogy section is an excellent contribution to the teaching of environmental and natural resource economics, covering both particular topics and teaching methods.University instructors will find this guide to teaching environmental and natural resource economics invaluable in helping students gain a better understanding of the theory and practice of environmental and natural resource economics.Trade Review‘This book provides a treasure trove of different perspectives and tools that can enrich the teaching of an environmental and natural resource economics class. An especially valuable tool for those teaching this class for the first few times, and something I wish I had available when I was teaching the course.' -- John Loomis, Colorado State University, US‘This book is a must have for anyone teaching environmental and natural resource economics. In a dynamically evolving discipline, having a go-to source for teaching ideas and examples is invaluable. Packed with concrete examples and a variety of teaching methods (from classroom experiments to the use of policy briefs to computer modeling and more) there is something for everyone in this practical and constructive set of papers. Whether you are just starting out in the classroom or you are a seasoned professor, this volume offers a fresh set of experiences and wisdom from which we can draw.’ -- Lynne Lewis, Bates College, US‘In one jump the editors and authors have created an essential resource for those teaching environmental economics (and frankly one which teachers of general microeconomics could benefit from greatly). Replete with the sort of detail that never usually gets disseminated, this collection provides the nitty gritty of setting up an environmental economics course accompanied by a wealth of great suggestions for encouraging learning-by-doing, making this a volume which is exemplary in both its ambition and achievement.’ -- Ian J.

Book SynopsisJust how should we teach entrepreneurship? This important book provides many of the answers to this challenging question. In developing the first signature pedagogy for entrepreneurship education, Colin Jones unites the contexts of enterprise and education at the intersection of scholarship, transformational learning and student engagement. Good teaching for entrepreneurship is shown to emerge both from the educator and the students' interest. For the educator, a process of scholarly leading is required to support student interest - from the alternate perspective, students require a willingness to welcome uncertainty and challenge the existing boundaries to effectively develop a capacity for self-negotiated action. A key guide for all entrepreneurship lecturers and tutors, written for all teaching contexts, this book will challenge you to teach 'who you are', as well as what you know.Trade Review'Colin challenges the reader to critically reflect on their role as an entrepreneurship and enterprise educator which even the most experienced practitioner will find both provocative and inspiring. Through his meticulous dissection of what it means to operate as an enterprise educator, a new educational philosophy emerges with clearly defined roles for all involved and tools presented to equip the reader in their ongoing development. Colin makes an exciting contribution to this space and does so with great humility and unintimidating prose.' --Tom Williamson, Coventry University, UK'How to Teach Entrepreneurship is an outstanding book for entrepreneurship educators and a must read for new colleagues trying to get to grips with their first entrepreneurship classes. The book provides deep insights that help you know yourself as an educator and it enables you to design educational practice that is mindful of the different ways students learn.' --Luke Pittaway, Ohio University, US'In Colin's true to form pedagogy and heutagogy style, he introduces a novel approach to contemporary frameworks and practices in transformational enterprise and entrepreneurship education. I just love the ''sports'' associations, from players to scoring the game. This book provides significant self-reflection towards enhancing our teaching philosophies, from nascent to experienced educators. A must read, not only for us entrepreneurship educators, but all educators in the transformational, innovative and digital space.' --Alex Maritz, La Trobe Business School, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Andy Penaluna Introduction PART I THE PLAYERS 1.

Book SynopsisThis peer-reviewed edited volume provides strategies and practices for teaching nonprofit management theories and concepts in the context of the undergraduate, graduate, and online classroom environments. Each chapter discusses and summarizes pertinent theories and concepts with concrete examples of nonprofit management education courses. Concept discussions then follow up with exercises or simulations and various resources for instructors to apply in either physical or virtual classrooms. The majority of the chapters are connected to one or more core nonprofit curriculum areas as identified by the Nonprofit Academic Centers Council (NACC) curriculum guidelines. Instructors, faculty, and program directors of nonprofit management and philanthropy courses at undergraduate and graduate levels can use Teaching Nonprofit Management as a guide for teaching and for creating course syllabi. The book can also serve as a supplemental textbook, as it covers the core curricular areas identified by the NACC. Contributors include: S. Arsneault, J. Beneson, K.C. Bezboruah, T.K. Bryan, H.L. Carpenter, E.A. Castillo, L.P. Corbett, E.J. Dale, D.J. Hamann, J.A. Jones, L.-Y. Liu, D.P. Mason, L. McDougle, S.C. Mendel, L. Miltenberger, H.A. O'Connor, A. Schatteman, G.G. Shaker, C.C. Strawser, C.E. Suarez, S.K. Vaughan, P.C. Weber, M. Wooddell, J.A. YoungTrade Review'I'm thrilled to see a book on teaching nonprofit management within the framework of the NACC curricular guidelines. As a participant in the development of the graduate-level guidelines several years ago, it is a great feeling to discover how the guidelines have influenced the field to the point of crafting a book on this framework. I especially appreciate the discussion questions, suggestions for assignments and recommendations for textbooks that complete the general discussion of the topics. I know, as time goes on, the book can be one that is updated often with information from a diverse group of faculty sharing their expertise.' --Wesley E. Lindahl, North Park University, US'A doctoral degree in and of itself does little to prepare one for the role of nonprofit educator. This book does. It grounds the course topics in nonprofit life, reviews key theoretical approaches, reviews important research, and discusses activities and projects for both face-to-face classes and online instruction that can be readily implemented. It helps foster quality courses and nonprofit academic programs. This is a book that every nonprofit educator will want on their shelf to validate their course content, trigger reflection on class projects and activities, and to guide them in developing critical thinking as an integral part of their course.' --Norman A.

Book SynopsisArguing that traditional approaches to planning are insufficient to address the complexities of transforming cities and regions in contemporary society, this innovative book makes the case for training planners in new and creative ways as coordinators, enablers and facilitators.An international range of teaching case studies offer a wide and distinctive set of ideas for the future of planning education along with practical tips to assist in adapting pedagogical approaches to various institutional settings. Additionally, the book promotes a stimulating interdisciplinary dialogue with contributions by leading educational specialists that situate the new and emergent approaches in planning education within the context of urban and regional challenges and the broader framework of contemporary pedagogical debates.This original book will be a valuable resource for academic scholars in urban, regional and spatial planning, and all those concerned with the future of higher education in relevant subjects. Chapters provide food for thought on making responsible choices while training planning professionals to act in a socially responsible manner and to support communities to think, design and deliver change in qualified ways.Trade Review‘This is a well-written international engagement with pedagogical innovation and change in planning education. I agree with the authors that right now, spatial planning is crucial to planetary survival but that there are profound challenges to overcome. The book provides a range of case studies that will provide the planning educator, or any other reader, an opportunity to examine how context interfaces with pedagogical approaches, and ultimately to learn from them.’ -- -- Nancy Odendaal, University of Cape Town, South AfricaTable of ContentsContents: Foreword xv Daniel Galland 1 Introduction: transformational change in planning education pedagogy? 1 Andrea I.

This book demonstrates various ways to engage students and offers techniques to enhance teaching practice, focusing on particular challenges such as large group teaching, increasing attendance and engagement, and successful professional development. All the contributors have current experience of teaching in a business school, allowing them to offer honest, personal assessments of what is effective in practice.

Book Synopsis'As the author of a new book, Professionalizing Leadership, in which I take on the leadership industry, specifically the often careless and casual way in which we profess to teach how to lead, it gives me particular pleasure to highly recommend Teaching Leadership by Perruci and Hall. Though it's possible to take issue with some specifics, to anyone with any interest in leadership as pedagogical practice, especially but not exclusively at the undergraduate level, I say this book is not to be missed.'- Barbara Kellerman, Harvard University, US and author of, among others, The End of Leadership, Followership, and Bad Leadership'This book is a must read for educators and students who want to master the fine art of developing leaders and becoming leaders.'- Prasad Kaipa, Kaipa Group, US'Teaching Leadership takes the reader from leadership traits to leadership transformation, and models the pedagogy it professes. Those of us who bridge theory and practice on a daily basis will find the historical, theoretical, and philosophical context in which leadership education, training and development are defined an invaluable prism through which we better understand the why, what and how of leadership. While this book comes close to being the canon we incessantly seek, the authors intentionally avoid this. Instead, they present an integrated complexity of information with glorious clarity. The coalescence of scientific knowledge, philosophical grounding, intentionality, reflection, preparation, thoroughness, program design and evaluation on which Teaching Leadership is based, is a benchmark for best practice in teaching and forming leadership.'- Katherine Tyler Scott, Ki ThoughtBridge LLC, USCan we really teach leadership? Yes, we can, and this book provides innovative ways of doing so. It is designed to help educators contribute to their learners? leadership development by expanding and enhancing their knowledge and competencies through a study of theory, practice and experiential learning. We need effective leaders at all levels of society. The more educators do to prepare leaders to make a positive difference, the better off the world will be. Educators can adjust, adopt, and adapt concrete examples provided in this book to fit their own organizations? needs. The authors explore time-tested efforts at linking leadership theory and practice in ways that promote meaningful leadership development for our learners. Starting from ''?why?'' and ''?what?'' about leadership, the book progresses to ''?how?'' to organize teaching leadership. It emphasizes lessons learned as a result of decades of experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of nationally recognized leadership programs. Each chapter includes reflection questions that allow educators to consider how the content is relevant or can be applied to their own institutional context.Teaching Leadership is written for educators and practitioners in undergraduate and graduate-level leadership programs, in professional schools, in technical institutes, and in government institutions, as well as for those working in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.Trade Review'Perruci and Hall affirm and delve deeper into the question, ''Can leadership be taught?'' by providing an understanding of leadership concepts conjoined with the ''why'' it is important to teach leadership and a framework for the ''how'' to go about it. In its wealth of examples, insights and suggestions every reader will find ideas of genuine value. Teaching Leadership is readily accessible, but solidly grounded in the rigor of theory and the relevance of practice.' --Cynthia Cherrey, International Leadership Association'Perruci and Hall have produced an essential guidebook for faculty members who are involved in leadership education. Drawing on decades of experience educating leaders, they approach teaching leadership from an interdisciplinary perspective, one that balances curricular and co-curricular methodologies, and provides the knowledge and tools necessary for a full and dynamic program of leadership education.' --Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College, US'Teaching Leadership is a great resource for academics interested in making positional and informal leaders more effective in dealing with wicked problems in the complex and challenging world we live in. Grounded in leadership for now, this book takes in centuries of human reflection on what constitutes a good leader and breaks it down in teachable steps to ensure all have access to tools to create great positive impact for a better world. Teaching leadership ensures there are no excuses to justify the ineptitude of our leaders in action!' --Eliane Ubalijoro, McGill University, Canada and C.L.E.A.R.

Book SynopsisTeaching the Essentials of Law and Economics covers the core areas of law and economics, also known as the economic analysis of law, in non-technical terms with guiding notes throughout the text. Replete with cases and illustrations, it may be used both as a lecture guide for instructors, and as a basic text for students. The author provides an up-to-date and succinct account of the application of economic analysis to legal doctrines, institutions and legal reform. Classic cases taken from Anglo-American common law, with some consideration of civil law, along with more recent material, are used to illustrate the analysis. The book has a non-technical, built-in system designed to guide teaching as well as private study of the material. Professors and instructors teaching this growing field of inquiry as well as legal scholars interested in the influence of economics on American law, economists analyzing the incentive structure of legal systems and doctrines, public-policy students considering legal reform and judges and legal personnel seeking a succinct treatment of economics of law will be indebted to the author for this guide to Teaching Essentials of Law and Economics.Trade Review'Professor Antony Dnes has written a few books in Law and Economics to general audiences in the last decades. But this is not just another book introducing law and economics to lawyers, economists, social scientists and policy makers. This is a different book in teaching the essentials of law and economics. Why different? The reason is that it provides for a unique combination of the standard introduction to law and economics, as typically taught in advanced degrees in universities across the world, with a novel approach to focusing on fundamental concepts and practical examples. Furthermore, each chapter concludes with a thorough state-of-the-art literature review offering different perspectives. The book can be explored alongside more traditional study materials, thus benefitting students and instructors. It can be used by legal practitioners as a quick access to specific topics or notions in law and economics. It can be read by the general public looking for a simple, yet rigorous, explanation for economic insights to legal policy.' --Nuno Garoupa, George Mason University, USTable of ContentsContents Preface 1.
