Deadly Virtues
Stephanie Burton is dripping in degrees—both academic and professional. And, she’s drop-dead gorgeous. Hers is a voice that pierces the din and circus antics of cable news broadcasting; she conveys genuine compassion and civility to her growing audience, compelling viewers to reach higher, behave more nobly. Eventually, she’s hailed as “America’s Moral Compass.” But something evil lurks behind Stephanie’s attractive and charismatic persona. Privately, she contends with emotional scars as sordid as any of the sensationalized stories the networks feast upon. In her deep-seated hatred for men, she carries out a plan to make them pay. When thirty-four-year-old Prize Calloway’s dead body is discovered in his Grandview, Missouri, apartment, officials begin to look for connections. Soon, Andie Morrison, a data analyst with the Kansas City Police Department ties Calloway’s death to two other brutal sex killings and a motivational speaking tour. The investigation heads down one blind alley after another as the public fixates on every detail, with one virtuous voice at the center.

The book constitutes a valuable resource for educators, researchers, scientists, and engineers interested in robotics. It covers topics including school teaching curricula, educational methodologies and pedagogy, projects, competitions, hardware, simulations, programming, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in education.
Policy Foundations of Education
This volume introduces the histories and traditions that have inspired innovation in thinking and writing about policy making and policy worlds in the field of education. Through a focus on post-positivist epistemologies and anti-foundationalist philosophies, this volume documents some of the most recent theoretical and empirical developments in the education sub-field of 'policy sociology', also known as 'sociology of education policy' or 'critical policy sociology'. The result is a comprehensive text and navigational tool for studying the application and merit of poststructuralist and social constructivist approaches to education policy scholarship.

The New Imperatives of Educational Change
The New Imperatives of Educational Change is a clarion call to move beyond the standardized testing and marketplace competition that have become pervasive in school systems to focus instead on creating the conditions that will encourage all students to become critical and independent thinkers. Dennis Shirley presents five new imperatives to guide educators and policymakers towards a re-thinking of what it means to teach effectively and to learn in depth. The evidentiary imperative requires educators to attain a better grasp of what data actually reveal about international trends in student learning. The interpretive imperative encourages mindful deliberation before acting on evidence in orde...
International Handbook of Teacher Quality and Policy
The International Handbook of Teacher Quality and Policy is a comprehensive resource that examines how teacher quality is conceptualized, negotiated, and contested, and teacher policies are developed and implemented by global, national, and local policy actors. Edited by two of the leading comparative authorities in the field, it draws on the research and contributions of scholars from across the globe to explore five central questions: How has teacher quality been conceptualized from various disciplinary and theoretical perspectives? How are global and transnational policy actors and networks influencing teacher policies and practices? What are the perspectives and experiences of teachers i...
