Without proper training on the intricacies of race and culture,
pre-service and in-service teachers may unwittingly continue
outdated and ineffective pedagogies. As the demographics of student
bodies shift to include more diverse backgrounds, fluency in the
discourse of social justice becomes necessary. The Handbook of
Research on Promoting Cross-Cultural Competence and Social Justice
in Teacher Education elucidates the benefits, challenges, and
strategies necessary to prepare teachers to meet the needs of a
diverse student body. Featuring the newest research and pedagogical
tools written by diverse scholars in the field of teacher training,
this expertly crafted handbook is ideal for teachers,
administrators, students of education, and policymakers.
The continuously growing list of technological, economic, and
social challenges in today's world has made it imperative for
higher educational institutions to equip students with the
necessary knowledge, skills, and competences to seek employment and
work in such a challenging global context. Specifically, within the
engineering field, today's businesses now seek innovative
engineer-managers who can design engineering systems and also
handle projects/design and development; create strategic plans;
handle financing; and recognize, engage with, and evaluate market
opportunities. This has created a need for current research on
effective engineering management education that focuses on
technical people, projects, and organizations and prepares engineer
and science graduates to become future industry leaders and be
successful long term. Cases on Engineering Management Education in
Practice explores the crucial role of innovative and effective
education that helps graduates develop critical leadership,
negotiation, and communication skills in specific engineering
disciplines. It presents the latest scholarly information on
curriculum development, instructional design, and pedagogies of
engineering management learning initiatives focusing on a range of
topics that fall under the scope of engineering management
education practices including management, marketing, finance, law,
leadership, organizational behaviors, and human resources and
statistics. While highlighting topics such as curriculum reform,
student motivation and engagement, and innovative learning and
education practices, this book is ideal for teachers,
administrators, instructional designers, researchers,
practitioners, stakeholders, academicians, and students who are
interested in the management of engineering education practices.
This volume conceptualizes and distinguishes storying from
narrative and storytelling to establish itself as a method. It
theorizes that storying pertains to ones' identity, to the unique
positions of who one is, how they came to be, and why they came to
be (Raj, 2019). Building upon foundational work from Freire,
Greene, and Clandinin & Connelly, this book elucidates storying
through a new concept "emotional truth"--a deeply personal and
authentic experience that builds a tangible connection from teller
to listener. Such an involved conception of Storying could have the
potential to anchor storying as research methodology and as valid
pedagogical practice. Further, the chapters in this book establish
storying as a concept, method, and as pedagogical practice.
This book enriches the discourse around Global Citizenship
Education in teacher education through the example of a teacher's
experience in a Canada-China Sister School reciprocal learning
landscape. Instead of positioning global citizenship teaching and
learning as a set of fixed goals to be attained by teachers alone,
this book approaches global citizenship teaching and learning as
unfinished lifework in progress and as situated curriculum problems
to be inquired together by university researchers, school teachers,
and students under the spirit of reciprocity and community. This
reimagination of narratives, theory, and action start from
collaborative and reciprocal learning partnerships among Chinese
and Canadian researchers and teachers in the practicality of
re-searching and re-enacting the purpose and meanings of
twenty-first century education in a Canada-China Sister School
setting.
The number of practice-based or practice-led doctorate programs
continues to grow across the U.S. Doctoral students who seek a
terminal practitioner doctorate typically conduct practice-based
research within the dissertation research used as the culmination
of the degree program. These terminally degreed graduates return to
educational practice to improve practice, impact innovation, and
solve the complex problems of practice through research-based
decision making. Practice-Based and Practice-Led Research for
Dissertation Development provides the most current research,
innovation, and insights into practice-based research conducted
within U.S. practitioner doctorate programs across fields that
include management, education, computer science, health sciences,
and social and behavioral sciences. The book illustrates the latest
uses of practitioner research and highlights current findings for
the dissemination and use of practice-based and practice-led
research within these settings. Covering topics that include
self-inquiry methods, action research, and high-impact writing
support, this book is an ideal reference source for doctoral
scholars, doctoral research supervisors, faculty, program deans,
higher education leadership, and doctorate program developers.
The world of education has undergone major changes within the last
year that have pushed online instruction to the forefront of
learning. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has
become paramount to the continued and uninterrupted teaching of
students and has forced students and teachers alike to adjust to an
online learning environment. Though some have already returned to
the traditional classroom, or plan to very soon, others have begun
to appreciate the value of online education - initiatives that had
previously been discussed but never acted upon as they have been in
the past year. With plenty of positive and negative aspects, online
learning is a complex issue with numerous factors to consider. It
is an issue that must be studied and examined in order to improve
in the future. Curriculum Development and Online Instruction for
the 21st Century examines the issues and difficulties of online
teaching and learning, as well as potential solutions and best
practices. This book includes an examination on the value of
teaching fully via the internet as well as the challenges inherent
in the training of teachers to teach in online environments. While
addressing key elements of remote learning, such as keeping student
data safe, as well as methods in which to engage students, this
book covers topics that include assessment tools, teaching deaf
students, web technology, and standardized curricula. Ideal for
K-12 teachers, college faculty, curriculum developers,
instructional designers, educational software developers,
administrators, academicians, researchers, and students, this book
provides a thorough overview of online education and the benefits
and issues that accompany it.

Global challenges, in a chaotic context, are ever in play, emerging
and receding in time. At the present moment, the global challenges
of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in several years of
mass-scale challenges and lost learning and socialization from K-12
to higher education for many. The pandemic has been a high
consequence and continuing event. Universities and colleges have
been under unprecedented budgetary strain. Despite all the immense
and irreparable human losses, humanity is moving forward with
lessons from the past several years. The Handbook of Research on
Revisioning and Reconstructing Higher Education After Global Crises
explores how global higher education will recover from the global
pandemic at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels, and how they will
re-establish their relevance for teaching and learning, research
and innovation, and social contributions. Covering topics such as
campus life, online library services, and Indigenous students, this
major reference work is an essential resource for educators and
administrators of higher education, government officials, students
of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
