Throughout, the authors provide crucial guidance to educators that will support them in taking conscious steps toward creating educational equity for linguistically diverse students. Book Features: Illuminates the variation among students who have been categorized as English language learners. Provides access to a broad range of research-based approaches in teacher-friendly language. Examines key dilemmas that teachers are likely to encounter in today’s classrooms. Avoids recipes or “cookie-cutter” approaches to complex scenarios. Addresses academic vocabulary and language development, a key barrier to accessing content for students learning English as a new language.

Of late, leadership has come to include individuals in elementary, secondary and tertiary institutions who do not necessarily carry leadership titles. Faculty in preK-16 institutions, along with other staff and community people, have increasingly begun to take on leadership responsibilities as shared leadership is articulated and practiced more and more in education. This volume focuses on educational leadership--broadly defined. More specifically, following several research-based thought pieces in which the authors define and discuss this new conception of leadership, contributors offer preK-16 case study illustrations of this recent conception of educational leadership. Readers will use this casebook as a foundational text for courses in teacher education, educational leadership, business and higher education. It includes detailed chapters focused on teacher leadership, principal leadership and higher educational leadership.

Understand the unique needs of teens and adults with autism and how to adapt existing library programs to be more inclusive.Autism spectrum disorder is a lifelong condition, but programs and services are mostly for children. As this population ages and the number of adults receiving autism diagnoses grows, are public libraries serving this group? Serving Teens and Adults on the Autism Spectrum offers practical strategies for delivering better service to individuals with autism, from library programming to technology, collections, library volunteers, and the information desk. Relying on feedback and help from the autism community in her area, Carrie Rogers-Whitehead created programs for children, teens, and young adults on the autism spectrum. In this book, she shares advice on developing programs that focus on teamwork, transitions, and social skills. She explains best practices for reference interviews and teaches readers how their libraries can partner with nonprofit and government entities to develop workforce skills and connect adults with autism to jobs. Ready-made program activities for teens and adults with autism make it easy for libraries to better serve this often misunderstood group.

In this down-to-earth guide, educators will learn successful strategies for embedding digital citizenship into their library and school instruction.Digital citizenship, the ethical and responsible use of technology, is more important than ever for 21st-century learners and families—all of whom are spending increasingly long hours behind screens. Because libraries and schools are often the mediators between technology and individuals, educators must know what digital citizenship is and how they can understand, program, and promote it.In Advocating Digital Citizenship, readers will learn from a public librarian and two current school librarians a wealth of real-life, easy-to-follow strategies to make libraries healthy, equitable, and safe digital spaces for everyone. Covering complex but important topics like digital law, digital etiquette, and media literacy, the authors help librarians and teachers establish a curriculum, write programming, and collaborate with colleagues to achieve buy-in at all levels.Educators will benefit from a chapter dedicated to lesson plans, and a practical appendix includes digital citizenship program outlines, policy and procedure documents, and conversation prompts around technology to share with families. In our current climate, which requires so many new digital experiences for people of all ages, digital citizenship instruction is timely and essential.

Research, detailed strategies, and case studies encourage inclusivity in digital citizenship and the ethical and responsible use of technology in libraries.Inclusive digital citizenship goes beyond mere access to technology—it requires a nuanced understanding of how technology can either empower or hinder various communities. Divided into two parts, this book offers both ideas and implementation. The first half contains frameworks and an overview of systems, research, and theories. The second half offers specific, practical case studies and actionable steps. Rogers and Wilson provide tools to support students, families, and community members in becoming responsible digital citizens. Their groundbreaking framework addresses inclusivity across digital access, literacy, design, and community engagement. It equips librarians and educators with actionable tools like gap analyses, professional learning strategies, and collaborative models to bridge the digital divide. Foundational concepts are balanced with practical implementation, metacognitive activities, and visual aids. This book will empower you to foster equity-driven systems and digital citizenship in diverse contexts.
