Download or read book A Casebook for Exploring Diversity in K 12 Classrooms written by George Redman and published by Prentice Hall. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed as a supplemental text for foundations, multicultural education, and general methods courses. This book contains concise, focused cases about genuine classroom situations regarding issues of diversity/multiculturalism which immediately engage students and allow greater flexibility for instructors. The book can be used in two ways: 1) to create in students a "need to know" about definitions of concepts, research, promising practice, and theory, and 2) to extend thinking about basic concepts. The approach of the text is consistent with the trend toward constructivism in teacher education; a trend in which teachers are invited to become active inquirers in their work in schools.

Download or read book Perspectives on Elementary Education written by Stacey Neuharth-Pritchett and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2004 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This supplemental text provides a collection of three dozen real-world case studies in diversity that foster discussion-based, active learning pedagogy designed to guide students in problem analysis and problem solving. The cases explore a wide-range of diversity issues at the elementary (Pre-K-5) level, including culture, academic performance and expectations, safety and prosocial behaviors, social issues, special needs, and issues surrounding the family. The approach organizes discussion around defining problems, identifying alternatives, and proposing solutions to the issues presented in the case. The goal of the text is not to pose a single solution, but rather to learn how to analyze situations involving diverse individuals, evaluate a variety of solutions, and evaluate the consequences of those solutions. Features The diverse authors consist of academics, practicing classroom teachers, student teachers, pre-service teachers, and students. Vignettes in each chapter present real-world situations by which teachers can make decisions. Provides guidelines for the use of cases to ensure effective use of the case-study approach. Cases vary in length, perspective, and subject area, providing maximum flexibility of use. "I am impressed by the writing ability of the case writers and the higher level thinking questions that accompany each case...there is terrific variety in the topics presented..." Professor Sandra J. McKee, "Clarion University of Pennsylvania" Author bio: Dr. Stacey Neuharth-Pritchett received her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from Purdue University. She teaches courses in early childhood education.

Download or read book Exploring Inclusive Educational Practices Through Professional Inquiry written by Gordon L. Porter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioners, scholars, and teacher education students alike can celebrate reading Exploring Inclusive Educational Practices through Professional Inquiry. This rich array of case scenarios both illuminates and elaborates the meaning of inclusion in today’s schools and tomorrow’s visions. Twenty-five stories from parents, teachers, school principals, and specialists highlight the kind of experiential knowledge that won’t be found in typical research reports and district documents about inclusive education. What happens to real people—students and their families—doesn’t always resemble policies that can look so good on paper. This book makes a wonderful contribution to better understandings of the challenges of inclusion as well as the commitments positioned alongside values in order to meet those challenges. There are brave and spirited people in these pages—not the least of whom are the children themselves.Professor Luanna H. Meyer, PhD Director, Jessie Hetherington Centre for Educational Research Victoria University, New Zealand This is a book on inclusive education that leaves you with hope and ideas for action. It takes a very difficult and highly charged topic and demonstrates that it is possible to see both the trees and the forest. Michael Fullan Professor Emeritus OISE/University of Toronto We are reminded in the commentaries parents share in this book of how their passionate commitment to good education and their ideas make inclusion work. The case-study approach reveals the critical importance of their, and many other perspectives in finding solutions to what are so often dismissed as irresolveable dilemmas. They aren’t, and this book models exactly the kinds of conversations we need in schools across the country to challenge all of us to stay the course. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to make diversity and inclusion a reality in public education today. Michael Bach Executive Vice-President Canadian Association for Community Living

Download or read book Written Unwritten written by Patricia A. Matthew and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academy may claim to seek and value diversity in its professoriate, but reports from faculty of color around the country make clear that departments and administrators discriminate in ways that range from unintentional to malignant. Stories abound of scholars--despite impressive records of publication, excellent teaching evaluations, and exemplary service to their universities--struggling on the tenure track. These stories, however, are rarely shared for public consumption. Written/Unwritten reveals that faculty of color often face two sets of rules when applying for reappointment, tenure, and promotion: those made explicit in handbooks and faculty orientations or determined by union contracts and those that operate beneath the surface. It is this second, unwritten set of rules that disproportionally affects faculty who are hired to "diversify" academic departments and then expected to meet ever-shifting requirements set by tenured colleagues and administrators. Patricia A. Matthew and her contributors reveal how these implicit processes undermine the quality of research and teaching in American colleges and universities. They also show what is possible when universities persist in their efforts to create a diverse and more equitable professorate. These narratives hold the academy accountable while providing a pragmatic view about how it might improve itself and how that improvement can extend to academic culture at large.

Download or read book Diversity of Perspectives written by Eileen Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of your current level in any organization (traditional student, adult learner, intern, entry-level, employee, manager, or leader), you will soon experience a changing workforce that will become majority minority as early as the year 2030 according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Dr. Eileen Taylor offers a unique model of mindfulness and inclusion as a pathway toward workforce unity. Diversity of Perspectives is a purpose driven student engagement tool. The model helps students reflect upon personal diversity brought to class on day one; learn about the differences and similarities of others; and make informed decisions about how personal behavioral choices in an increasingly diverse world contribute to intended results. At the very beginning of the model, students are introduced to a reflection lens for learning. The lens will provide students with the necessary foundation needed to guide them through the model. As students continue to progress through the text, they are encouraged to keep it in mind during discussions, assignments, and presentations. Diversity of Perspectives also becomes common language used by students when connecting theory to practical application. Students learn that the ability to communicate with others who have individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations that may or may not be different from their own is crucial in the ever-growing global market. The vision and mission of an organization is not different for some employees. It is the intended purpose for which all are employed. Diversity exists in the workplace beyond federal protected classifications of race, gender, ethnicity, color of skin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, etc. Individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations also exist and contribute to organizational results. The ability to effectively communicate that diversity is personal, global, and a behavioral choice that directly connects to delivering products and services to customers is added value to any organization.
