Innovation, Literacy, and Arts Integration in Multicultural Classrooms
This textbook offers a foundation for how literacy and arts integration interconnect to advance innovation, accessibility, and equitable classroom learning contexts for K-8 students. Balancing research-backed theory and classroom practice, this book helps readers understand the multiple perspectives, frameworks, and models necessary in the design of learning environments for diverse learners, including sociocultural theories of literacy, new and digital literacies, multiliteracies, culturally responsive pedagogy, critical pedagogy, and art. Written by an author team with decades of experience in teaching literacy, writing, and arts integration across a variety of learning environments, each chapter includes a basis of conceptual framing and research backed by functional case studies and practical classroom practices, as well as discussion questions. Written as a text for foundational literacy, arts integration, and education courses, Innovation, Literacy, and Arts Integration in Multicultural Classrooms offers an engaging, practical resource for both pre-service and in-service elementary and middle grade teachers and teacher educators.
The Stationers' Company and the Printers of London, 1501–1557
This major, revisionist reference work explains for the first time how the Stationers' Company acquired both a charter and a nationwide monopoly of printing. In the most detailed and comprehensive investigation of the London book trade in any period, Peter Blayney systematically documents the story from 1501, when printing first established permanent roots inside the City boundaries, until the Stationers' Company was incorporated by royal charter in 1557. Having exhaustively re-examined original sources and scoured numerous archives unexplored by others in the field, Blayney radically revises accepted beliefs about such matters as the scale of native production versus importation, privileges and patents, and the regulation of printing by the Church, Crown and City. His persistent focus on individuals - most notably the families, rivals and successors of Richard Pynson, John Rastell and Robert Redman - keeps this study firmly grounded in the vivid lives and careers of early Tudor Londoners.
Remixing Multiliteracies
The essays in this book not only provide an overview of the fundamental ideas of the New London Group and their importance across literacy, communications, and media studies but also explore how they have been adapted by todays educators to better prepare students for a rapidly changing, globalized world.
An Iridescent Device: Premodern Ottoman Poetry
Ten experts in premodern literature and history examine the style, genre, and performance of sixteenth century Ottoman poetry. A large number of poems, including a newly discovered imperial poem collection and the work of a poet fallen into oblivion, are discussed with regard to their multifarious functions and their contemporary lyrical appeal. Though most of these poets worked in conventional settings many of the articles in this volume point out how they broke taboos, glossed over violence, and promoted or questioned political rule, even as they appealed to their listeners on an emotional level. The authors provide ample evidence for the importance attributed to certain cities and places, as well as local affiliations and networks. These analyses show how premodern poetry operated as a tool of communication and formed an integral part of premodern social and political life.
Preferential Trade Agreements and Cultural Products
This book discusses the treatment of cultural products within international trade law, focusing on preferential trade agreements. Trade and culture intersect when cultural products are involved. These mainly encompass cinema, broadcasting, music, videos, and publishing, either in traditional or digital formats. As such products reflect the cultural identities of states, they have led to a debate as to whether, or the extent to which, they should be exempted from trade obligations. With multilateral negotiations in gridlock, states have increasingly turned to preferential trade agreements. Concurrently, digital technologies have revolutionized how cultural contents are created and distributed...
The Literacy of Play and Innovation
The Literacy of Play and Innovation provides a portrait of what innovative education looks like from a literacy perspective. Through an in-depth case study of a "maker" school’s innovative design—in particular, of four early childhood educator’s classrooms—this book demonstrates that children’s inspiration, curiosity, and creativity is a direct result of the school environment. Presenting a unique, data-driven model of literacy, play, and innovation taking the maker movement beyond STEM education, this book helps readers understand literacy learning through making and the creative approaches embedded in early literacy classroom practices.
