Book Description
This book explores the negotiation of the ways that teachers are involved in the process of changing curriculum and pedagogies and also the realities of implimenting those changes in the classroom. How do teachers negotiate their place within changes in pedagogy and curriculum and how is that negotiation enacted in the space of a teacher's own classroom? This question is explored by telling stories about the process of change and the ways that teachers were involved with science curricular and pedagogical reform efforts imposed in their particular school district.
Tech Tally

ISBN: 0309164613
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
In a broad sense, technology is any modification of the natural world made to fulfill human needs or desires. Although people tend to focus on the most recent technological inventions, technology includes a myriad of devices and systems that profoundly affect everyone in modern society. Technology is pervasive; an informed citizenship needs to know what technology is, how it works, how it is created, how it shapes our society, and how society influences technological development. This understanding depends in large part on an individual level of technological literacy. Tech Tally: Approaches to Assessing Technological Literacy determines the most viable approaches to assessing technological literacy for students, teachers, and out-of-school adults. The book examines opportunities and obstacles to developing scientifically valid and broadly applicable assessment instruments for technological literacy in the three target populations. The book offers findings and 12 related recommendations that address five critical areas: instrument development; research on learning; computer-based assessment methods, framework development, and public perceptions of technology. This book will be of special interest to individuals and groups promoting technological literacy in the United States, education and government policy makers in federal and state agencies, as well as the education research community.

Standards and Mastery Learning
Author: J. Ronald GentilePublisher: Corwin Press
ISBN: 1483360806
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
"I am quite enthusiastic about this book. As far as I know, no one has brought the perspective of mastery learning to the considerable dialogue about standards even though the connection is an obvious one. These authors clearly know mastery learning and will add greatly to the standards movement." Robert Marzano, Adjunct Associate Professor Cardinal Stritch University, Milwaukee, WI "The book makes a distinct contribution to the field. The integration of standards and mastery learning is important if standards, once established, are to be achieved by large numbers of students. I think it is timely, well organized, contains real-life examples, and is well written." Lorin Anderson, Carolina Distinguished Professor of Education University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC "This is one of the best books I have read on this topic. I can′t wait for it to be published so that I can give copies to each of the teachers at my school." RoseAnne Vojtek, Principal Ivy Drive Elementary School, Bristol, CT How to really mean it when we say, "all children can learn!" The adage that practice, or rather the right kind of practice, makes perfect is quite apparent in this new definitive book by J. Ronald Gentile and James P. Lalley, describing the concept of mastery learning in the classroom. Educators can instruct all students, regardless of their individual scholastic aptitudes, using the principles and philosophies of mastery learning. The key to this process is reinforcing and expanding initial learning through additional practice and higher-level exercises, enabling all students to reach high standards. Other key elements of this practical resource include: Usable ideas for educators and administrators on how to implement mastery learning in math, science, social studies, language arts, and other subject areas How to achieve mastery learning from a theoretical perspective How to assess effectiveness in achieving high standards Research evidence, details, features, and examples of good programs and lessons The cure for a student′s helplessness is competence, which increases both the feeling of self-efficacy, and the ability to achieve new learnings. Standards and Mastery Learning is the ideal book to enable educators to help students attain these goals. It examines national and state standards and shows how to attain them through mastery learning.
