International Perspectives on Teacher Knowledge, Beliefs and Opportunities to Learn
This book reviews the Teacher Education and Development Study: Learning to Teach Mathematics, which tested 23,000 primary and secondary level math teachers from 16 countries on content knowledge and asked their opinions on beliefs and opportunities to learn.
Teaching for Excellence and Equity
This open access book examines the interrelationship of national policy, teacher effectiveness, and student outcomes with a specific emphasis on educational equity. Using data from the IEA’s Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted between 1995 and 2015, it investigates grade four and grade eight data to assess trends in key teacher characteristics (experience, education, preparedness, and professional development) and teacher behaviors (instructional time and instructional content), and how these relate to student outcomes. Taking advantage of national curriculum data collected by TIMSS to assess changes in curricular strategy across countries and how these may be related to changes in teacher and student factors, the study focuses on the distributional impact of curriculum and instruction on students, paying particular attention to overall inequalities and variations in socioeconomic status at the student and country level, and how such factors have altered over time. Multiple methods, including regression and fixed effects analyses, and structural equation modelling, establish the evolution of these associations over time.
The Lost Tribe
Battered by a hurricane, the crippled Seaflower is attacked by ruthless pirates off the coast of South America. The surviving pilgrims wash up on the beach far from Virginia, their destination. It’s 1627, and their chances of rescue are slim. Soon they are attacked by Indians and flee inland in their three lifeboats. They push deeper and deeper into the wilderness in search of a new life. But the lost nomads are faced with a dangerous and unforgiving environment, headhunters and cannibals, and dissension in their own ranks. Yet, one man finds a new way to survive when he encounters a mysterious young Indian with powers beyond reckoning. Soon he becomes an initiate in a system of medicine called the Seven Bundles. Now Jacob must hide his new knowledge and abilities from the stern Puritans, who hold strong to the ways of their past and scorn jungle magic. Ultimately, Jacob must use his talents to help his family and other settlers of Promised Land to survive.
Fundamentals of Gifted Education
The field of gifted education is characterized by a confusing array of perspectives concerning such fundamental issues as definition, philosophy, curriculum, social and emotional development, and underserved populations. The mission of this book is to provide a coherent framework that instructors and service providers can use in planning effective programs, providing appropriate counseling services, and evaluating programs for the gifted. Most sections are organized around fundamental issues confronting the field and follow a common structure: an introductory chapter that provides historical and theoretical background and organizing questions followed by several point-of-view chapters writte...
New York
Although a goodly portion of the Albany County census of 1790 was burned in a 1911 fire, about half of the names for Albany County (just under 4,000) did survive. Professor Scott's compilation is a transcription of the rescued portion of the Albany County census and gives, first, the name of the head of household as it appears in the state census and, immediately after it, in brackets, the reading in the federal census-an arrangement of uncommon advantage to the genealogist.
Fictions of Integration
This book examines how children’s and young adult literature addresses and interrogates the legacies of American school desegregation. Such literature narrates not only the famous battles to implement desegregation in the South, in places like Little Rock, Arkansas, but also more insidious and less visible legacies, such as re-segregation within schools through the mechanism of disability diagnosis. Novelizations of children’s experiences with school desegregation comment upon the politics of getting African-American children access to white schools; but more than this, as school stories, they also comment upon how structural racism operates in the classroom and mutates, over the course ...
