For almost a century, spelling has been the poor relation in the literacy partnership between reading and spelling. The National Curriculum has now redressed the balance slightly by defining targets for reading, spelling and handwriting. Some children learn to spell easily but many lag behind; a few not lacking in intelligence, remain semi-illiterate or illiterate in to adulthood even after receiving extensive remedial support. This comprehensive exploration of spelling includes a careful analysis of the problems of dyslexia and poor handwriting, as well as numerous examples of children's written work. This is an essential and highly practical guide to a neglected area of education. Diane Montgomery has produced an invaluable text for all those who are concerned about the literacy of children. Diane Montgomery is Professor of Education at Middlesex University.

Providing an overview of the various understandings and approaches taken to dyslexia over the last 100 years, this text considers why men have traditionally taken the lead in dyslexia theory and research, whilst women have often been confined to practice.Exploring how and why particular pathways in dyslexia theory, research and practice were historically pursued, whilst other potentially successful methods were not, Montgomery argues that gender bias has played a significant and often obstructive role in the development of our identification and understanding of dyslexia. Explaining why women and girls have often been under-represented in dyslexia clinics and in research, chapters trace the contributions made by dyslexia pioneers, analyse current problems within education and research systems, and document widespread patterns of misogyny and gender discrimination in the field. Montgomery links dyslexia history, current research paradigms and transgender experiences, to ask whether assumed male superiority has disadvantaged dyslexic learners, and whether it will continue to do so. In the process, she presents a new trajectory for research and practice.A timely exploration of the impacts of gender discrimination on research and education, this text provides essential insight into the subtle impacts of sexism on dyslexic learners.

Building on the early leadership of Frigga Haug in her groundbreaking Female Sexualization: A Collective World of Memory (1987), this book provides a collection of contemporary perspectives on memory-work from researchers in Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, and the United States, and from the disciplines of education, marketing, sociology, psychology, masculinity studies and social work practice. With respect to the method itself, the authors considered emerging issues and describe the ways in which they have altered or appropriated the method, researcher voice and authority, and consistency between the aims of memory-work and their research. Part I focuses on Frigga Haug's evolving method. In Part II, the different ways in which memory-work has been variously applied in specific domains are explored by Betty Johnston (mathematical identities), Glenda Koutroulis (menstruation), Karin Widerberg (research and teaching), Bob Pease (practices of profeminist men to promote change), Naomi Norquay (immigration stories and social awareness), Judith Kaufman (teacher socialization) and Mary FitzPatrick, Lorraine Friend, and Carolyn Costley (marketing research).
Gifted and Talented Children with Special Educational Needs
Double Exceptionality

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Gifted pupils who also have special needs often receive provision for the special need whilst the giftedness is overlooked. Children with such double exceptionality can become depressed, frustrated and misbehave, and may not fulfil their potential. Based on international research and practice, this practical text enables the reader to identify highly able pupils with special needs, such as ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia and Downs Syndrome, and then make provision for them within the mainstream school. The book offers three emerging themes: creating a positive, constructive and supportive learning environment; offering a cognitively challenging curriculum; and engaging the learners in partnership to understand and manage their learning support. Whilst aimed mainly at teachers and students at both primary and secondary levels, this book should also be of interest to educators, researchers and educational psychologists.

Enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in schools for the benefit of the teacher and pupil is not a matter of quick 'tips for teachers.' It requires a fundamental review by every teacher of his or her own performance and its effects on learners. A significant way of achieving this is by systematic classroom observation and feedback from professional colleagues. This book describes how to set up and engage in classroom observation using well-established professional sampling frames. It illustrates how to use focused appraisal sessions and how to deliver the feedback interview. Underpinning the author's practical guidance is a tried and tested theory of improving teaching and learning for school development and performance management. The approach is practical, positive and supportive and is designed for senior staff, SENCOs, teachers in primary and secondary schools and those taking INSET and CPD courses.
