Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching the truth about our history to young children is essential in our quest to dismantle racism in the United States.

Topics covered in this book include: the institution of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era, The Great Migration, Segregation of schools, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter.

Download or read book Closing the Educational Achievement Gap for Students With Learning Disabilities written by Nyemba, Florence and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-10-04 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a growing demand for diversity and inclusion in schools worldwide to ensure effective learning for every student. Efforts have been made to support teachers in promoting diversity in classrooms, but research shows that students with learning disabilities (LD), including autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental disabilities, dyslexia, and executive dysfunction, still struggle to keep up despite having individualized education programs (IEPs). These students are not receiving the necessary support they need to learn effectively in the classroom, leaving them behind and often completely unprepared for their futures. When intersectional statistics are taken into account, students who have a learning disability and are among minority ethnic groups have even lower rates of earning a diploma than their counterparts. Changes in the educational system must be made to close this learning chasm and create a more equitable learning environment. Closing the Educational Achievement Gap for Students With Learning Disabilities increases awareness of the issue of inequalities in education for students with learning disabilities through improved training programs for teachers, recommendations for policy changes, and development of new strategies to close the gap between these students and their classmates. The goal of this book is to educate and empower educators, researchers, and policymakers on how they can help students with learning disabilities thrive academically and emotionally. It examines the barriers that prevent teachers from effectively providing instruction to these students. This book covers topics such as achievement gaps, student-centered approaches, and culturally responsive teaching and is ideal for educators, professionals, researchers, special education professionals, speech and occupational therapists, disability service providers, intervention strategists, psychologists, parents, and local communities.

Download or read book Children s Interests Inquiries and Identities written by Helen Hedges and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children’s curiosity about their lives and worlds motivates many interests. Yet, adults often have fixed ideas about what children’s interests are and have been criticised for trivialising children’s interests. This book offers a critical and accessible engagement with research on children’s interests that challenges us to move beyond surface-level understandings. Children’s Interests, Inquiries and Identities argues that the powerful relationship between interests and informal learning has been under-recognised and undervalued. The book proposes new principles for understanding children’s learning. It provides evidence that we need to look beyond the activities or topics children may currently be selecting to find out who and what has stimulated their interests, how we might identify and interpret interests more analytically and deeply, and how we might respond and engage with these in ways that take children’s interests seriously. Moving beyond play-based activities, Helen Hedges explains and illustrates a number of ways by which children’s interests can be interpreted and understood, to get to the heart of what really matters to, and for, children. The book draws on examples from research with children aged under 5 years, and young adults aged 18-25. It also includes a chapter on teachers’ interests. It presents new and original models for interests-based curriculum and sociocultural curriculum and pedagogy for future examination in research and practice. This book demonstrates that leaving behind long-standing, taken-for-granted practices that have influenced understandings of curriculum, pedagogy, learning, and outcomes allows a new perspective of children’s interests to emerge. It will be of interest to researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners in the early years, parents, and other professionals who work with young children.

This book was released on 2020-11-08 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early math skills are crucial to children’s math and school success in the following years. The use of storybooks as a mathematics learning method has been discussed frequently in recent years. Shared book reading allows different mathematical conversations to pass between parent or teacher and child. NCTM (1989) promotes the using of mathematics storybooks as a way of introducing mathematical ideas to children, as it offers a meaningful context for teaching mathematics concepts to children. Shared book reading improves children’s problem-solving skills, allows for an exchange of ideas, establishes logical, and may prompt discussion of abstract concepts. This chapter reviews how children learn mathematics and research on the use of storybooks for mathematics skill development. It concludes with examples of how explicit and implicit storybooks, in either paper or digital versions, may be used. Keywords: Storybooks, mathematics, children’s learning of mathematics, children’s development

Download or read book Quality Instruction and Intervention for Elementary Educators written by Brittany L. Hott and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective teaching starts with quality instruction that most students respond well to. However, about 35% of students will require specialized and more intensive instruction to meet academic and behavioral standards. Both students with exceptionalities who are eligible to receive special education and related services and students who are placed at risk due to circumstance require, deserve, and are legally entitled to quality intervention. Quality Instruction and Intervention for ElementaryEducators offers an accessible resource for educators interested in evidence-based strategies to ensure all students have access to an excellent education. Two dedicated chapters, authored by leading content and strategy experts in the field, are devoted to content areas. The first chapter focuses on quality instruction with academic subject matter specialists as lead authors with interventionists supporting. The second chapter focuses on effective intervention with the interventionists taking the lead author roles and academic subject matter specialists supporting. Between the two chapters is a dialogue between the teams of authors bridging instruction and intervention. This unique approach bridges the gap between quality instruction and effective intervention, an often-overlooked component of teacher education. The book also includes dedicated chapters on the integration of instructional technology and executive functioning. After reading the book, educators will be able to describe the components of effective instruction and intervention in each of the content areas, access empirically validated materials, and locate resources for continued learning.

Download or read book Poverty Impacts on Literacy Education written by Tussey, Jill and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-09-24 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Income disparity for students in both K-12 and higher education settings has become increasingly apparent since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the wake of these changes, impoverished students face a variety of challenges both internal and external. Educators must deepen their awareness of the obstacles students face beyond the classroom to support learning. Traditional literacy education must evolve to become culturally, linguistically, and socially relevant to bridge the gap between poverty and academic literacy opportunities. Poverty Impacts on Literacy Education develops a conceptual framework and pedagogical support for literacy education practices related to students in poverty. The research provides protocols supporting student success through explored connections between income disparity and literacy instruction. Covering topics such as food insecurity, integrated instruction, and the poverty narrative, this is an essential resource for administration in both K-12 and higher education settings, professors and teachers in literacy, curriculum directors, researchers, instructional facilitators, pre-service teachers, school counselors, teacher preparation programs, and students.

Download or read book Education in Spite of Policy written by Robin Alexander and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national system of education cannot function without policy. But the path to practice is seldom smooth, especially when ideology overrules evidence or when ministers seek to micromanage what is best left to teachers. And once the media join the fray the mixture becomes downright combustible. Drawing on his long experience as teacher, researcher, government adviser, campaigner and international consultant, and on over 600 published sources, Robin Alexander expertly illustrates and illuminates these processes. This selection from his recent writing, some hitherto unpublished, opens windows onto cases and issues that concern every teacher. Part 1 tackles system-level reform. It revisits the Cambridge Primary Review, an evidence-rich enquiry into the condition and future of primary education in England, which challenged the UK government’s policies on curriculum, testing, standards and more besides. Here the reform narratives and strategies of successive governments are confronted and dissected. Part 2 follows the development of England’s current National Curriculum, exposing its narrow vision and questionable use of evidence and offering a more generous aims-driven alternative. This section also investigates the expertise and leadership needed if children are to experience a curriculum of the highest quality in all its aspects. Part 3 reaches the heart of the matter: securing the place in effective pedagogy of well-founded classroom talk, a mission repeatedly frustrated by political intervention. The centrepiece is dialogic teaching, a proven tool for advancing students’ speaking, thinking, learning and arguing, and an essential response to the corrosion of democracy and the nihilism of ‘post-truth’. Part 4 goes global. It investigates governments’ PISA-fuelled flirtations with what they think can be adapted or copied from education elsewhere, examines the benefits and pitfalls of international comparison, and ends with the ultimate policy initiative: the United Nations mission to ensure ‘inclusive and equitable quality education’ for all the world’s children. Education in Spite of Policy is for all those teachers, students, school leaders and researchers who value the conversation of policy, evidence and practice, and who wish to explore the parts of education that policy cannot reach.
