This text offers pre-service and in-service teachers pragmatic strategies for teaching middle-grades literacy in culturally proactive and sustaining ways. By demystifying big ideas and complex concepts, Domínguez and Seglem provide clear pathways and lessons for illuminating and engaging with race, ethnicity, culture, and identity in the middle-grade English Language Arts classroom. While addressing social justice, equity, diversity, and liberation can seem intimidating or unrelated to classroom practice, the authors demonstrate how weaving such questions into instruction benefits students’ development. The guidance, strategies, and lessons in this book provide an answer to the question: What does decolonial literacy teaching look like? Concrete but not prescriptive, the authors encourage us to reconsider accepted logics of schooling, so that we can better support adolescents as they navigate complex identity landscapes. Bringing together disparate conversations around reading, writing, identity, and decolonial thinking, and specifically tailored to the middle grades, this book serves as a comprehensive toolkit for praxis and covers such topics as cultural change, community connections, and racial literacy. Each chapter features tips on reading and writing instruction, Teacher Spotlights, Planning Questions, and Additional Resources to make it easy for educators to apply the strategies to their own contexts. An accessible entry to addressing challenging questions around identity in the classroom, this book is essential reading in courses and professional development on ELA and literacy methods as well as teaching culturally and linguistically diverse students. For teachers looking to push toward equity and reshape literacy education so that it serves all middle-grade students, Domínguez and Seglem offer plenty of accessible and motivating places to start.

This book makes a deliberate attempt to explore the complexity of decolonising theories in teacher education. It draws attention to the historical and emerging impacts of colonialism on educational institutions and practices, challenging educators to expand their understanding of diverse trajectories of decolonial research both theoretically and practically. It adds to the discussions and dialogues between different disciplinary traditions, such as postcolonial and decolonial studies, as well as critical Indigenous and critical race studies. As an international compilation, it offers educators a unique opportunity to envision teacher education through alternative lenses—rethinking the relationship between ontology-epistemology-ethics, that is, what constitutes knowledge, how it is produced, and what material worlds are constructed in and through knowledge / research systems. Through compelling examples, this book illustrates how educators have navigated epistemic injustices within the field of teacher education amidst the rising global demands for standardisation. It encourages teacher educators to explore alternative theories within their own contexts, crafting new teacher education practices in universities and schools.

This book focuses on multicultural curriculum transformation in literacy and language arts subject areas. The discussion of each area outlines critical considerations for multicultural curriculum transformation for the area by grade level and then by eight organizing tools, including content standards, relationships with and among students and their families, and evaluation of student learning and teaching effectiveness. The volume is designed to speak with PK-12 teachers as colleagues in the multicultural curriculum transformation work. Readers are exposed to “things to think about,” but also given curricular examples to work with or from in going about the actual, concrete work of curriculum change. This work supports PK-12 teachers to independently multiculturally adapt existing curriculum, to create new multicultural curriculum differentiated by content areas and grade levels, and by providing ample examples of what such multicultural transformed literacy and language arts curricula looks like in practice.

Education, development and decolonization provides a historical, theoretical and practical inter-disciplinary analysis of the contemporary trajectory of colonization (including internal colonization) through the linked projects of eurocentric development, globalization and the uncritical adoption of colonial modes of education and learning in schools, communities, social movements and the “progressive” church in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Critical perspectives on colonialism, education and development are deployed in the interests of a continued praxis of decolonization. This collection is intended for graduate and senior undergraduate students in adult/education, development studies, social movement learning and de/colonization and cultural studies, as well as for civil society and social movement actors, development practitioners and socio-cultural workers and popular educators working in North-South engagements. A mix of theoretical and applied/practical content ensures that this collection will be of use to theoreticians, analysts and practitioners alike.

Arguably the first book-length exploration of decolonizing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing education, this novel volume uses poetic autoethnography to provide a situated, dynamic, and complex view of multilingual writers through their second language (L2) academic writing and creative writing. Responding to contemporary calls to decolonize L2 writing as a field and diversify academic writing for multilingual students, this book is the first of its kind to explore the decolonization of EFL writing education from a Global Southern context. Chapters critically and creatively consider issues of educational technologies, translanguaging, academic writing, epistemology, and pedagogy from two writing courses from a Global South and classroom writing ecology perspective. Using poetic autoethnography alongside data from authentic writing classrooms in Thailand, the book posits that emergent translanguaging literature can be cultivated for decolonization purposes, critiquing and providing decolonial options in such areas as monolingual ideology, freewriting, student identity, and mind. Empowering EFL writing teachers to raise students’ critical awareness of issues such as writing, culture, and coloniality, this book will be of key interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students in the fields of applied linguistics, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), L2 writing, multilingual education, and language policy and planning.

This textbook is a comprehensive and practical guide to teaching middle level social studies. Middle level students are just as capable as high school students at engaging in hands-on, progressive, reflective activities, yet pedagogical strategies designed specifically for the middle grades are often overlooked in teacher education programs. This text provides both progressive and traditional teaching methods and strategies proven effective in the middle level classroom. The content of this book consists of conventional chapters such as “What is Social Studies?” and “Unit and Curriculum Planning,” as well as unique chapters such as “The Middle Level Learner”, “Best Practices for Teaching State History” and “Integrating the “Core” Subjects in Middle Level Social Studies”. In addition to the unique chapters and lesson plans many additional features of the book will be useful for middle level teaching and learning. These features include: • A list of website resources that provide links to thousands of lesson plans, state and national standards, and other multimedia tools that can be used in the classroom. • Individual, collaborative, and whole class activities that will help methods students develop a better understanding of the topics, lessons, and strategies discussed. • High quality lesson ideas and classroom tested teaching strategies embedded throughout the book. • Images of student work samples that will methods students visualize the finished product that is being discussed. • An examination of state and national standards that will help guide methods students in their lesson planning

Culturally Responsive Pedagogy written by Fatima Pirbhai-Illich and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-03-03 with Education categories.
This book convincingly argues that effective culturally responsive pedagogies require teachers to firstly undertake a critical deconstruction of Self in relation to and with the Other; and secondly, to take into account how power affects the socio-political, cultural and historical contexts in which the education relation takes place. The contributing authors are from a range of diaspora, indigenous, and white mainstream communities, and are united in their desire to challenge the hegemony of Eurocentric education and to create new educational spaces that are more socially and environmentally just. In this venture, the ideal education process is seen to be inherently critical and intercultural, where mainstream and marginalized, colonized and colonizer, indigenous and settler communities work together to decolonize selves, teacher-student relationships, pedagogies, the curriculum and the education system itself. This book will be of great interest and relevance to policy-makers andresearchers in the field of education; teacher educators; and pre- and in-service teachers.

Grounded in research on bilingualism and adolescent literacy, this volume provides a much-needed insight into the day-to-day needs of students who are identified as long-term English language learners (LTELs). LTELs are adolescents who are primarily or solely educated in the U.S. and yet remain identified as "learning English" in secondary school. Challenging the deficit perspective that is often applied to their experiences of language learning, Brooks counters incorrect characterizations of LTELs and sheds light on students’ strengths to argue that effective literacy education requires looking beyond policy classifications that are often used to guide educational decisions for this population. By combining research, theory, and practice, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of literacy pedagogy to facilitate teacher learning and includes practical takeaways and implications for classroom practice and professional development. Offering a pathway for transforming literacy education for students identified as LTELs, chapters discuss reframing the education of LTELs, academic reading in the classroom, and the bilingualism of students who are labeled LTELs. Transforming Literacy Education for Long-Term English Learners is a much-needed resource for scholars, professors, researchers, and graduate students in language and literacy education, English education, and teacher education, and for those who are looking to create an inclusive and successful classroom environment for LTELs.

This comprehensive handbook addresses issues related to anti-discriminatory education as it relates to children, youth, young adults, families, and practitioners across a series of age groups, sectors, communities, and countries. It seeks to map a holistic interdisciplinary overview of the field examining how policies, practices, and initiatives within unique social, political, and cultural contexts have been enacted to advance anti-discriminatory education for improved equity, diversity, and inclusion outcomes leading to thriving school-community ecosystems. The work draws on a range of theoretical frameworks, hybrid perspectives, and research projects to provide multiple examples about the challenges, complexities, and nuances involved in theorizing and doing the work of anti-discriminatory education in local communities and on a macro institutional level. With intentionality, authors from various backgrounds, identities, fields, and positionalities describe and discuss various social justice and equity issues and how they strategize, mobilize, and navigate unique micro and macro dynamics affiliated with power and privilege for the purpose of advancing the field of anti-discriminatory education. Overall, the chapters cover a range of topics and issues from various practitioners and community perspectives around the intersectionality and divergence of navigating micro lived experiences and macro institutional policies and practices to bridge the gap between theory and action with respect to anti-discriminatory education. The book is divided into 4 sub-sections: Early Childhood Education (Early years up to approx. 10 years old), Elementary and Middle School Years (approx. 11 to 14 years old), Secondary Schools (approx. 15 to 19 years old), and Higher Education (Post-Secondary).

Now in its fifth edition, the Handbook of Research on Teaching the English Language Arts--sponsored by the International Literacy Association and the National Council of Teachers of English--remains at the forefront in bringing together prominent scholars, researchers, and professional leaders to offer an integrated perspective on teaching the English language arts and a comprehensive overview of research in the field. Reflecting important developments since the publication of the fourth edition in 2017, this new edition is streamlined and completely restructured around "big ideas" in the field related to theoretical and research foundations, learners in context, and new literacies. Addressing all the language arts within a holistic perspective (speaking/listening, viewing, language, writing, reading), it covers new and important topics, such as online learning, multimodalities, culturally responsive learning, and more.
