Download or read book Leadership for Constructivist Schools written by Arthur S. Shapiro and published by R & L Education. This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership for Constructivist Schools takes a thought-provoking look at the education system's reaction to the ever-increasing size and impersonal nature of our society. The constructivist model offers a way to decentralize the authority of the cold and distant administration, returning decision making to the local level -- to the individual classroom teachers, teams, or learning communities, those who have a more intimate knowledge of the people they serve. Using case studies that compare the classic and constructive classrooms, this text offers realistic practices and approaches for supervisors and administrators that encourage a constructivist environment. This book also offers teachers and administrators the tools and techniques needed to integrate and assess their own practice of constructivism. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The activities that transpire within the classroom either help or hinder students' learning. Any meaningful discussion of educational renewal, therefore, must focus explicitly and directly on the classroom, and on the teaching and learning that occur within it. This book presents a case for the development of classrooms in which students are encouraged to construct deep understandings of important concepts. Jacqueline Grennon Brooks and Martin Brooks present a new set of images for educational settings, images that emerge from student engagement, interaction, reflection, and construction. They have considerable experience in creating constructivist educational settings and conducting research on those settings. Authentic examples are provided throughout the book, as are suggestions for administrators, teachers, and policymakers. For the new edition of their popular book, the authors have written an introduction that places their work in today's educational renewal setting.

Download or read book Case Studies of Teacher Development written by Barbara B. Levin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the results of a 15-year longitudinal study based on in-depth case studies of the development of four teachers' pedagogical thinking. These studies illustrate how teachers' thinking--about children's behavior, development, learning, and teaching--develops over time, based on their personal and professional life experiences. It is an especially significant book because understanding how pedagogical thought develops over time and how these ideas are put into action in classrooms can be used to improve teacher education, teacher induction, and teacher retention programs. Case Studies of Teacher Development: An In-Depth Look At How Thinking About Pedagogy Develops Over Time: *provides insight into reasons why some teachers remain and others leave the teaching profession; *combines narrative with scholarship; *highlights the voices of four educators through extensive quotes from their interviewers, includes vignettes of their classroom teaching, and incorporates their own writing; *contributes to the field of teacher education and teacher development because of the long duration of the four case studies (1985-2000) and the accompanying scholarly analysis of internal and external influences on their lives as teachers; and *addresses changes in the nature of qualitative research as it influenced this longitudinal study over time. At a time when teacher induction and teacher retention are critically important, this book will help teacher educators, school and district leaders, and policymakers understand better how to retain novice and experienced teachers by supporting their professional growth and development.
