Download or read book Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics written by Liping Ma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-03-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of teachers in the U.S. often document insufficient subject matter knowledge in mathematics. Yet, these studies give few examples of the knowledge teachers need to support teaching, particularly the kind of teaching demanded by recent reforms in mathematics education. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics describes the nature and development of the knowledge that elementary teachers need to become accomplished mathematics teachers, and suggests why such knowledge seems more common in China than in the United States, despite the fact that Chinese teachers have less formal education than their U.S. counterparts. The anniversary edition of this bestselling volume includes the original studies that compare U.S and Chinese elementary school teachers’ mathematical understanding and offers a powerful framework for grasping the mathematical content necessary to understand and develop the thinking of school children. Highlighting notable changes in the field and the author’s work, this new edition includes an updated preface, introduction, and key journal articles that frame and contextualize this seminal work.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 977 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More children born today will survive to adulthood than at any time in history. It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence--developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. Child and Adolescent Health and Development explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.

Download or read book Education Technology and the Failure of American Schools written by Charles K. Stallard and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the progress of American education in the use of technology since the publication of Stallard and Cocker's last book, The Promise of Technology in Schools: The Next Twenty Years. Fifteen years after its publication, they find little significant difference in the way K-12 schools are using technology to improve student achievement. Education Technology and the Failure of American Schools offers a broad and penetrating look at the American educational system to determine why progress is so lacking. What is found is a system that has far outlived its functionality in terms of governance, organization, and professional practices. American schools are compared to those of nations whose students regularly outperform them on international tests of achievement. The authors offer a bold approach to educational reform that will irritate many who now consider themselves educational leaders. The final chapter makes offers a new approach to education in the primary grades, one that will surprise those lobbying for more computers for those early learning years. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about American education. The contributors of this book: Offer clear examples of what is missing in the average school experience Explain why teaching and school administration are not true professions Discuss levels of failure from the federal level to the local school administration Describe how the present system came into being Compare educational reform efforts with those in actual professions Explain the basic misapplication of technology in the present system
Download or read book Quantity and Quality written by Sandra Wilde and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The premise of this book is simple: that establishing the reading of books as the center of our literacy curriculum is the secret to academic achievement." -Sandra Wilde The research is unambiguous: when students read more, they read better, acquire more background knowledge, and do better on academic assessments. "Students need to read more books and to gradually move into harder books," writes Sandra Wilde in Quantity and Quality. "This isn't mere recreational reading, nor is it requiring them to read 'grade-level' books. It's getting kids reading, and making sure that readers are growing." Quantity and Quality is ideal for study groups and whole schools. It provides doable ways to add as much reading time to your curriculum as possible. Sandra presents the compelling rationale for putting more reading into the school day, answering questions like "How much time?" "How many books?" and "How hard should the books be?" Then she gets you going with details on: creating the time, space, and inspiration for more reading matching kids with increasingly complex books working with beginning readers, ELLs, struggling readers, and reluctant readers teaching reading skills and concepts documenting readers' progress. "If students are really reading more books and pushing into harder books," writes Sandra Wilde, "they'll master the standards, acquire cultural literacy, and pass standardized tests." Read Quantity and Quality, and discover why the solution for text complexity can be surprisingly simple. Read a sample chapter from Quantity and Quality.
