Download or read book Envisioning Equity written by Angela Provitera-McGlynn and published by Atwood Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our nation faces some daunting education problems. One of the most pressing is the need to educate young people so that they will become productive citizens who can live comfortably and contribute positively. America's competitive edge is threatened internationally. The reason is simple: too few Americans are earning postsecondary degrees, which are increasingly becoming pre-requisites to a middle-class life. America will not reach its goal of educating more young people without graduating more low-income, first-generation to college, and minority college students. Graduating more of this historically underserved population is the right thing to do, both for them as individuals and for our nation as a whole. Unfortunately, the solutions are not as easily understood as the reasons for the problems. In Envisioning Equity: Educating and Graduating Low-income, First-generation, and Minority College Students, veteran professor emeritus Angela Provitera McGlynn spells out not only the clear-cut case for higher education and America's slippage on the world scene, she addresses solutions. Her solutions fall into two categories: What can college professors do to promote academic success? What can college administrators and public policy makers do to get more students through the educational pipeline to a college degree? This book is a must for educators and law makers committed to being part of the solution to America's rocky educational playing field.
Download or read book Language Teacher Agency written by Jian Tao and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element aims to elucidate the concept of language teacher agency by exploring the 'what' question, offering major conceptualisations of agency and explaining how they shape the way we approach teacher agency. The authors then continue with the 'why' question, and elaborate on the reasons that language teacher agency matters, based on a discussion of the varied purposes of teacher agency at multiple levels. They also acknowledge that teacher agency does not operate alone, and discuss how it intersects with such concepts as teacher identity, emotion, belief and knowledge. Based on this, they identify ways to promote teacher agency through making changes to contexts and/or actors. They then introduce the concept of collective agency and propose a multi-layered model based on an illustrative study. The Element ends with a call for a trans-perspective on understanding language teacher agency so as to facilitate the professional development of language teachers.
