The Ethical Educator
The Ethical Educator addresses critical aspects of ethical conduct related to teaching and teacher research. Identifying strategies and opportunities for reflection, it seeks to guide teachers and researchers in their quest for adherence to the highest level of ethical standards within their practice. Written from an educational perspective, this book will appeal especially to teachers engaged in research in classroom settings, those engaged in collaborative research within the university and school, and pre-service teachers. The book addresses the numerous ethical codes by which teachers are guided - those of their professional associations, as well as those set forth by teaching and research associations - and the many ways in which world issues challenge our systems of teaching and research, providing opportunities for self-reflection on ethical behavior.

Educational Leadership
Educational Leadership: Building Bridges Among Ideas, Schools, and Nations breaks new ground by connecting many ideas to educational leadership that have traditionally been discussed as part of leaders’ contexts by connecting them and showing how international issues can unite scholars and educators in action. The book draws on the authors’ extensive experiences in U.S. public schools, research in the field of educational leadership, and programmatic practices to prepare school leaders to commit themselves to social justice. The book provides a forum for this important work in the ongoing conversation about equity and excellence in education, and the role(s) leadership can assume in building bridges among ideas, people, and educational organizations. Chapters center on creating spaces for vigorous dialogue. Authors call upon scholars and practitioners to reconsider their intent to empower those who live on the margins. The dynamic approaches discussed throughout the book urge school leaders, teachers, school community members, and those who prepare administrators to look within and build bridges between themselves and those they serve.

At a time when children who don’t speak formal English are written off in our schools, and when the class- and race-biased languag...
Engage
The most pressing issue in schools is classroom management, specifically how to motivate students to do the work well. Many teachers need strategies to help them and they also need the theory and research behind the strategies. Why do the strategies work and why do they sometimes not work? This book has 5 sections that are the different theoretical foundations for 18 different keys to student motivation. At the beginning of each section, the theory is explained briefly. It is important that the readers understand the reason why a key or strategy works. In this understanding, a teacher can modify and accommodate the key or strategy to fit his/her particular students and context. There are 18 chapters. Each chapter is a key, or applicable concept, to student motivation that has been garnered from a theory or seminal work. This explanation is followed by a vignette of a teacher’s experience, called In The Classroom, and is followed by multiple strategies.
