Collaborative Response
"Our greatest goal in education is to ensure equity while enhancing learning and ultimately achieving success for all students. And yet, it is impossible for every teacher alone to meet the extensive needs of all of the students in their classroom. The traditional model of schooling cannot provide for this complexity. The solution, the authors argue, is to take a collaborative approach, cultivated in a supportive environment, to meeting students' needs. This book champions the belief that "every child deserves a team" to surround them with supports that recognize their areas of strength and to address their challenges in every aspect of their school life. This book offers a school-wide appro...
Engaging in Action Research
You don't need a tweed jacket to be a researcher--in thousands of schools across North America, practising teachers conduct studies on best practices, alternative approaches, and effective learning strategies. Classroom teachers have experiences and opportunities unavailable to researchers in a university setting, and action research--site-based, teacher-conducted research--can have a valuable impact on the educational community. Yet many teachers don't see their work as "real" research, and many other teachers have great ideas for research projects but don't know where to begin. For these teachers, "Engaging in Action Research" demystifies the world of educational research and provides support, guidance, and encouragement. From creating a research plan to reporting findings, this book provides step-by-step instructions to help teachers conduct research projects in the classroom, using strategies that work. Get ready to investigate, analyze, and share!

Collaborative Response
A school-wide model for addressing individual needs The greatest goal of education is to ensure equity while enhancing learning and academic success for all students. And yet, it is impossible for one teacher to meet the extensive needs of all students in his or her classroom. The traditional schooling model cannot provide for this complexity and leaves educators perplexed. The solution is a collaborative approach where “every child deserves a team” to surround them with supports that recognize their strengths and challenges. Collaborative Response offers a school-wide model for addressing students’ individual needs. The three fundamental components of the model are: collaborative structures and processes; data and evidence; and continuum of supports. In this book, readers will find: Entry points for beginning this work Potential pitfalls of the approach Case studies from schools that have adopted the model Access to a website with tools, templates, case studies, and more With a focus on quality classroom instruction, this book shares examples from schools and districts that have transformed how they respond to the needs of all learners.
The Canadian Journal for Teacher Research - Teacher and Student Efficacy
We-all of us who write, organize, and read The Canadian Journal for Teacher Research-are Brock University's colleagues. And, we wish to come out from behind the scenes. Because we believe research matters, we formed this space to encourage a wider sharing and a broader consideration of educational research.We believe research can help us seek answers to key questions;we also believe engaging in research to answer our questions helps us become connected and powerful.Our agenda is to investigate all aspects of life of/in schools, focusing upon the good work of teachers and the learning of both children and teachers.We believe we are part of a large community of colleagues who wish the same.With this journal, to create a meeting place for those of us who seek to better understand teaching and learning.What is happening in the United States with teaching and learning the space we are building can be seen as a bit radical.It is our resistance to outside force.It is encouragement for us all in our difficult work.
The Sociology of Education
The ninth edition of The Sociology of Education examines the field in rare breadth by incorporating a diverse range of theoretical approaches and a distinct sociological lens in its overview of education and schooling. Education is changing rapidly, just as the social forces outside of schools are, and to present the material in a meaningful way, the authors of this book provide a unifying framework—an open systems approach—to illustrate how the issues and structures we find in education are all interconnected. Separate chapters are devoted to how schools help shape who has access to educational opportunities and who does not; issues of race, class and gender; the organization of schools...

The Palgrave International Handbook of Action Research
The Palgrave International Handbook of Action Research offers a vivid portrait of both theoretical perspectives and practical action research activity and related benefits around the globe, while attending to the cultural, political, social, historical and ecological contexts that localize, shape and characterize action research. Consisting of teachers, youth workers, counselors, nurses, community developers, artists, ecologists, farmers, settlement-dwellers, students, professors and intellectual-activists on every continent and at every edge of the globe, the movement sustained and inspired by this community was born of the efforts of intellectual-activists in the mid-twentieth century specifically: Orlando Fals Borda, Paulo Freire, Myles Horton, Kurt Lewin. Cross-national issues of networking, as well as the challenges, tensions, and issues associated with the transformative power of action research are explored from multiple perspectives providing unique contributions to our understanding of what it means to do action research and to be an action researcher. This handbook sets a global action research agenda and map for readers to consider as they embark on new projects.
