Geographies of Schooling
This open access book explores the complex relationship between schooling as a set of practices embedded in educational institutions and their specific spatial dimensions from different disciplinary perspectives. It presents innovative empirical and conceptual research by international scholars from the fields of social geography, pedagogy, educational and social sciences in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Czechia, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Canada. The book covers a broad range of topics, all examined from a spatial perspective: the governance of schooling, the transition processes of and within national school systems, the question of small schools in peripheral areas as well as the embeddedness of schooling in broader processes of social change. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, the book offers deep insights into current theoretical debates and empirical case studies within the broad research field encompassing the complex relationship between education and space.
Developing Community-Referenced Curricula for Marginalized Communities
"Thus, the community-referenced curriculum development program described in this text is designed to teach the knowledge, skills and attitudes students require to perform effectively in the communities in which they live now and are likely to live in future. These curricula are based on an analysis of the social, cultural, physical, economic, environment and political conditions of these communities. In addition, the curricula incorporate an educationally cost-effective blending of academic and functional skill teaching while promoting effective methods of instructional delivery. This book describes the empirical rational and the step-by-step procedures for developing community-referenced curricula for marginalized communities. The curricula are designed for communities of people living in refugee camps, in reserves of indigenous people, in peri-urban slums, in rural areas of developing countries and for people marginalized by disabilities, wherever they live."--

The Evaluation Syllabus
In addition to being an essential component of program evaluation, student evaluation of a systematic nature is considered to be an integral part of language teaching methodology. The purpose of this document is to provide a brief review of some options in student evaluation, and to consider their relevance for monitoring student learning and perceptions in the context of a multidimensional curriculum for core French programs. It examines some important basic concepts in evaluation and considers evaluation methods in three general categories: language tests, observation and record-keeping, and self-report evaluation techniques.
Educational Testing
The experience of the Canadian provinces with large-scale testing programs is reviewed to suggest answers to questions currently discussed in the United States regarding the proposed national system of achievement testing. In the Canadian provinces, tests are linked to provincial curricula. Standards and assessments are not set by experts with no direct responsibility for implementing curriculum and instruction, but are prepared with the cooperation of teachers and administrators. Assessments cover broad subject areas and monitor the overall education system, and examinations certify individuals' mastery of specific high school courses. The provinces have not found it necessary to attach hig...

A Decade of Research on School Principals
This book provides a unique map of the focus and directions of contemporary research on school leadership since 2000 in 24 countries. Each of these directions has its own particular cultural, educational and policy history. Taken together, the various chapters in the volume provide a rich and varied mosaic of what is currently known and what is yet to be discovered about the roles and practices of principals, and their contributions to the improvement of teaching and the learning and achievement of students. The particular foci and methodological emphases of the research reported illustrate the different phases in the development of educational policies and provision in each country. This collection is an important addition to existing international research that has shown beyond any reasonable doubt that the influence of school principals is second only to that of teachers in their capacity to impact students’ progress and achievement and to promote equity and social justice.
