Beyond the classroom walls : teaching in challenging social contexts by
Written for practicing teachers and administrators, teacher candidates, and scholars who work in the fields of pre-service and in-service teacher education, Beyond the Classroom Walls: Teaching in Challenging Social Contexts provides a richly descriptive, research-based inside-look at formal education in some challenging international socio-political and ethno-cultural settings. Based on data from three ethnographic studies conducted over a three-year period, this book illustrates the daily challenges and complexities that educators face in trying to meet the needs of their students in some the worlds more challenging contexts. In an era of increased forced migration and refugee resettlement, supporting teachers and school-based administrators global understandings of the teaching profession and what constitutes teaching is a vital first step in being able to relate with a diverse school population whose experiences of schooling are quite different from the majority of their teachers.
Control is not a four-letter word! : establishing positive classroom behavior for the year in the first five days by
Teaching is the most important career. It is in the classroom that the youth of today can be provided with the tools to become a positive part of their society. Whether they are successful or not will determine the fate of our civilization. Regrettably neither social nor economic indicators' reflect the importance of the role of the educator. Teacher training rarely prepares the individual for their role. The goal of this manual is to begin correcting the negative situations, in any teaching scenario, by contacting the Educational Departments at colleges and universities as well as administrators (state, county, city, town level) Having a "how to" manual for these different venues would be desirable for teacher preparation. It is structured for each individual to read and customize to the needs of the individual teacher and students.
