Indiana University Press Gender in the Political Science Classroom
Book SynopsisGender in the Political Science Classroom looks at the roles gender plays in teaching and learning in the traditionally male-dominated field of political science. The contributors to this collection bring a new perspective to investigations of gender issues in the political behavior literature and feminist pedagogy by uniting them with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The volume offers a balance between the theoretical and the practical, and includes discussions of issues such as curriculum, class participation, service learning, doctoral dissertations, and professional placements. The contributors reveal the discipline of political science as a source of continuing gender-based inequities, but also as a potential site for transformative pedagogy and partnerships that are mindful of gender. While the contributors focus on the discipline of political science, their findings about gender in higher education are relevant to SoTL practitioners, other social-science discipliTrade Review"". . . a bold and compelling collection that asks important questions about the ways in which the teaching of Political Science reproduces gender inequities.""—Aeron Haynie , co-editor of Exploring Signature Pedagogies: Approaches to Teaching Disciplinary Habits of Mind and Exploring More Signature PedagogiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroduction: Teach It Forward: Gender in the Political Science Classroom and Beyond / Ekaterina Levintova and Alison StaudingerPart One: National and Institutional Trends1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in
Book SynopsisThe Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Education identifies and confronts key ethical issues generated over years of AI research, development, and deployment in learning contexts. Adaptive, automated, and data-driven education systems are increasingly being implemented in universities, schools, and corporate training worldwide, but the ethical consequences of engaging with these technologies remain unexplored. Featuring expert perspectives from inside and outside the AIED scholarly community, this book provides AI researchers, learning scientists, educational technologists, and others with questions, frameworks, guidelines, policies, and regulations to ensure the positive impact of artificial intelligence in learning.Trade Review"Pursuing educational AI along more ethical lines requires considerable time and effort, and a considerable amount of deliberation, debate, dialogue, and consensus building. All of this implies replacing ambitions of ‘scaling-up’ with a commitment to slowing-down. This book takes a great initial step in the right direction."—Neil Selwyn, Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia, from his foreword"This book contributes importantly to inform and sensibilize readers towards encoding ethics in the AI used in education, at times challenging the status quo, as well as current pedagogical and technological practices."—Gabriela Ramos, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences, UNESCO, from her forewordTable of ContentsPart I: Ethics of AI In Education: An Outside Perspective 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Exploring Principal Development and Teacher
Book SynopsisThis edited volume examines innovative ways of preparing, supervising, and evaluating principals and explores factors that promote effective leadership practices. Chapter authors consider how principals' leadership practices affect teachers' instruction, satisfaction, commitment, retention, and effectiveness, and present evidence that principals can influence key student outcomes as well. Covering topics such as school leaders' use of time, their efforts to reduce implicit bias, how leadership practices are associated with teachers' workplace attitudes, leadership and student achievement, and how school leaders can best be supported under new federal legislation, this volume is a must read for educational leadership and policy faculty, school and district administrators, and researchers committed to promoting effective principal leadership.Trade Review"Principals are pivotal in the success of schools, yet little is known about how to prepare and support them in their complex and consequential role. In Exploring Principal Development and Teacher Outcomes, an impressive array of scholars examine a wellspring of promising initiatives. You’ll find penetrating analysis and practical insights about strategies that work."—Susan Moore Johnson, Jerome T. Murphy Research Professor and Director, Project on the Next Generation of Teachers, Harvard Graduate School of Education"Confronted with unprecedented fiscal and health crises and severe inequities, principals make decisions daily that affect the wellbeing of faculty, staff, and students. Drawing on a rich array of recent research from our country’s top education policy and leadership scholars, this first-rate edited volume examines the consequential work of school leaders and policies to prepare and support them. This nuanced collection of research studies zooms in to examine daily practice and impact on teachers and students, and zooms out to explore innovative ways to prepare, supervise, and evaluate principals and the broader policies shaping these efforts. This is a must-read book for aspiring and current education leaders at all levels."—Julie Marsh, Associate Professor of Education Policy, Rossier School of Education, University of Southern California"Youngs, Kim, Mavrogordato, and colleagues do an exceptional job of unpacking empirical reality and practice-based wisdom revealing that school improvement is grounded in productive school leadership. They show that when we ignore this law we often hurt students, damage teachers, and cripple improvement. On the other hand, they document that when the profession forcefully attends to growing school leaders the well-being of young people across the full spectrum of valued outcomes is significantly enhanced. And they explore in powerful analyses what that development is, looks like on the ground, and can be used to create excellent schools for children and young people."—Joseph Murphy, Frank W.

Taylor & Francis Meaningful Physical Education
Book SynopsisThis book outlines an approach to teaching and learning in physical education that prioritises meaningful experiences for pupils, using case studies to illustrate how practitioners have implemented this approach across international contexts. Prioritising the idea of meaningfulness positions movement as a primary way to enrich the quality of young peopleâs lives, shifting the focus of physical education programs to better suit the needs of contemporary young learners and resist the utilitarian health-oriented views of physical education that currently predominate in many schools and policy documents.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Spectrum of Sport Coaching Styles
Book SynopsisFor the first time, this book applies The Spectrum to sports coaching to become a Spectrum of Coaching Styles. The non-versus approach to pedagogy taken by The Spectrum places athletes or players at the centre of their learning and clearly defines who (player or coach) is making pedagogical decisions in each style. This clarity allows players and coaches to have their teaching behaviours and decision-making clearly defined, and it provides a common language for players, coaches and practitioners to talk about coaching styles and the expected outcomes. For coaches interested in the holistic development of the player/athlete, The Spectrum provides a detailed framework for achieving multiple learning outcomes through cognitive, social, physical, ethical, emotional and social development.Written by coaches for coaches, this book applies Spectrum theory in a coach-specific/friendly way to the following: Introduction to The Spectrum and the sport coach as educator;Table of ContentsIntroduction: Taking the Spectrum of Teaching Styles to Sport Coaching 1.
