Urban Primary School

E-bok
PDF, Engelska, 2006

Läs direkt efter köp
This book offers an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges and contributions of urban primary schools. The authors set urban education in the wider social context of structural disadvantage, poverty, oppression and exclusion, and reassert some critical urban educational concerns. Recognising that practice needs to be informed by theory, they provide a strong theoretical framework alongside contemporary ethnographic data. Drawing on their extensive experience in urban primary schools, as well as numerous case studies, the authors present a fresh and stimulating view of urban primary schools which will inspire education professionals and academics alike.
The Urban Primary School is essential reading for teachers and trainee teachers in urban primary schools, as well as for students of education, policy-makers, parents and school governors.
Designing and Leading Digital Transformation in Higher Education

Häftad, Engelska, 2026

This book is an essential companion for those leading and managing large-scale, long-term digital transformation in higher education institutions. As colleges and universities work to meet today’s accelerated need for digital capabilities, those leading and managing digital change and transformation projects must account for complex measures of success. Challenges often include integrating the affordances of new technologies, navigating complex digital ecosystems, meeting tight timelines, managing limited budgets, and coordinating with multiple stakeholders seeking input. All of these, and more, must be successfully navigated to ensure the project's delivery and, importantly, to deliver on the institution’s vision and strategy for digital success. This book explores the attributes of an effective digital transformation leader; considerations for project design, management, and evaluation; the ethical and effective use of learner and user analytics; and the major rollout stages, including operational considerations, change management, staff development and institutional adoption. Chapters are supported by action-oriented cases, drawing from current practice and theory, to offer digital transformation leaders and managers examples that demonstrate success and impact across institutions of all sizes.

This interdisciplinary book uses key examples and specific case studies from the ‘Trailblazers’ of Anglia Ruskin University, UK, to address the successes and challenges experienced during the creation, development, and running of breadth modules. It’s been carefully written to support anyone looking to implement this innovative method into their own university setting.With content informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and using active learning pedagogies, interdisciplinary student teams work together to develop sustainable solutions, allowing for the growth of skills vital for enhancing student employability. The chapters are grounded in theory, making the discussions transferable to a wide readership interested in interdisciplinary approaches at the higher education level. The theoretical underpinnings of the discussions in each chapter will open up questions relating to contemporary issues such as diversity and representation, poverty and sustainability, artificial intelligence, and social justice.This is a must-read text for anyone seeking to implement similar breadth modules at their institutions, or considering how to develop strategies that address whole institution questions such as sustainability and employability.

Men Teaching Children 3-11 provides a comprehensive exploration of work experiences of men who teach young children. The authors draw on their own research as well as international studies to provide realistic strategies to help to remove barriers in order to develop a more gender-balanced teacher workforce. Burn and Pratt-Adams, former primary school teachers who have both experienced these unfair gender practices, also trace the historical roots of the gender barriers that have now become embedded within the occupational culture.Throughout Men Teaching Children 3-11, the authors argue that primary school teachers should be judged by their teaching talents, rather than by the application of biased gender stereotypes; and that male and female teachers need to work together to remove these stereotypes from the occupation.

Soft Systems Methodology in Education
Applying a Critical Realist Approach to Research on Teacher Education
AvJenny Gilbert,Simon Pratt-Adams
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
583 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book explores the application of Soft Systems Methodology in educational research as a qualitative research tool to generate theory, and identifies the mechanisms that engender the behaviours and discourse of social groups. Grounded within the literature from philosophy and science, the approach is predicated on the ontology and epistemology of critical realism. The authors consider the tenets of systems thinking, recognizing that emergent features appear at higher levels of complexity within a hierarchy and that unintended consequences can occur when making decisions in complex situations with interacting components.The central element of the book is the formulation of a research strategy entitled ‘Worldview, Metaphor and Power of Social Objects’ (Womposo) and its application to a research study of the practicum experience of teachers in training. Integral to the methodology is the creation of rich pictures and diagrams. Additionally, images representing different stakeholders’ views of the whole system are presented in revealing illustrations, allowing the reader to grasp each holistic metaphor. It is suitable for postgraduate students and researchers in education and other social science programmes
