Es geht um die Frage, welche Aneignungsprozesse der deutschen
Sprache sich bei Gefluchteten im jungen Erwachsenenalter
rekonstruieren lassen. Der Beantwortung liegt eine soziokulturelle
Auffassung von Sprachaneignung zugrunde, die den Lebens- und
Lernkontext als konstitutiv fur den Spracherwerb erachtet.
Datengrundlage sind biografisch-narrative Interviews mit
Gefluchteten an Berufsschulen, die narrationsanalytisch ausgewertet
wurden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Aneignung des Deutschen eng
mit weiteren biografischen Entwicklungen verknupft ist, wie dem
Zugang zu beruflicher Bildung. Zudem wird deutlich, dass ein Leben
vor dem Hintergrund von Flucht und Asyl Auswirkungen auf die
Zweitsprachbiografie hat. Aus den Forschungserkenntnissen lassen
sich Ansatze zur Unterstutzung von Sprachaneignungsprozessen bei
Gefluchteten in der beruflichen Bildung und daruber hinaus
ableiten.
Based on a collaboration dating back nearly a decade, the authors-a
behavioural analyst and a child psychiatrist-reveal their
systematic approach for deciphering causes and patterns of
difficult behaviours and how to match them with proven strategies
for getting students back on track to learn. The Behavior Code
includes user-friendly worksheets and other helpful resources.
Written by two leading experts in education research and policy,
Common-Sense Evidence is a concise, accessible guide that helps
education leaders find and interpret data and research, and then
put that knowledge into action. In the book, Nora Gordon and Carrie
Conaway empower educators to address the federal Every Student
Succeeds Act mandate that schools use evidence-based improvement
strategies. Recommendations include utilizing existing research;
generating evidence on the success of their own improvement
efforts; and building an organizational culture of evidence use.
The authors walk readers through the processes for determining
whether research is relevant and convincing; explain useful
statistical concepts; and show how to quickly search for and scan
research studies for the necessary information. The book directs
readers through case studies of typical scenarios including a
superintendent trying to reduce chronic absenteeism; a middle
school math department chair trying to improve student performance
on exams; and a chief state school officer attempting to recruit
teachers for rural schools. Common-Sense Evidence helps education
leaders build capacity for evidence-based practice in their schools
and districts.

The theory, research, and practice of communication planning The
field of school and community communications is rapidly evolving
and becoming more complex. Focusing on successfully implementing
communication activities with both internal and external audiences,
The School and Community Relations is a widely used resource for
overcoming these emerging complexities. Drawing on theory and
research, the text stresses the generation of communication
outcomes that far surpass simple dissemination of information,
proactively identifying and engaging the right audiences. The 12th
Edition has been extensively updated with school communication
expert interviews, video resources, communications tools, and more.
Youth spoken word poetry groups are on the rise in the United
States, offering safe spaces for young people to write and perform.
These diverse groups encourage members to share their lived
experiences, decry injustices, and imagine a better future. At a
time when students may find writing in school alienating and
formulaic, composing in these poetry groups can be refreshingly
relevant and exciting. Listen to the Poet investigates two Arizona
spoken word poetry groups - a community group and a high school
club - that are both part of the same youth organization. Exploring
the writing lives and poetry of several members, Wendy R. Williams
takes readers inside a writing workshop and poetry slam and reveals
that schools have much to learn about writing, performance,
community, and authorship from groups like these and from youth
writers themselves.
Based on interview data, life testimonios, and Chicana feminist
theories, The Chicana/o/x Dream profiles first-generation,
Mexican-descent college students who have overcome adversity by
utilizing various forms of cultural capital to power their academic
success. While college enrollment rates for Chicana/o/x students
have steadily increased over the last decade, this cohort still
faces significant barriers to academic achievement, including
minimal information about college and limited access to the kind of
preparation and advising that will help them get there. As a
result, Chicana/o/x students maintain stubbornly low four-year
completion rates. Against this backdrop, Gilberto Q. Conchas and
Nancy Acevedo address the mechanisms that shape the achievement,
aspirations, and expectations of Chicana/o/x students who grew up
in marginalized communities and unequal school contexts and share
success stories about this growing population of students. Conchas
and Acevedo elevate the voices of students at a research university
and in the community college sector to reveal important issues and
factors impacting and shaping the students' academic journeys. The
college-age men and women in the narratives evince hope,
resistance, and empowerment in the face of marginalization,
anti-immigration sentiment, poverty, and an education system that
too often reinforces deficit-minded stereotypes. The authors
critique the educational policies and practices that systematically
fail to champion Chicana/o/x success and examine the use of
community cultural wealth that supports US-born and US immigrant
students of Mexican descent to make their achievement possible. In
so doing, the authors look toward the future by highlighting the
actions that Chicana/o/x students take in creating bridges between
K-12 to college and between their communities and higher education.
The Chicana/o/x Dream helps define the heart and soul of tomorrow's
America and elucidates how Chicana/o/x college students maintain
hope, enact resistance, and succeed against injustice. The book
offers a call to action to K-20 educators and administrators to
develop better supports to foster the success of Mexican-descent
students.
Am I My Brother's Keeper? provides a powerful cautionary tale about
the challenges involved in enacting large-scale educational change.
The book, chronicling the Expanded Success Initiative (ESI), a
four-year study focused on improving the educational outcomes of
15,000 Black and Latinx males in New York City public high schools,
covers what worked, what didn't, and what we can learn from the
experience. The ESI model, a precursor to President Obama's My
Brother's Keeper, highlights the ways that school districts can
embed educational equity into the principles and policies that
guide their work with students, in contrast to implementing
stand-alone initiatives that may come and go. Through the voices of
students, teachers, and administrators, the book informs the
implementation of other large-scale district-community partnerships
designed to improve opportunities and outcomes for young people who
have systematically been denied both. Most critically, the book
provides policy, practice, and research recommendations to inform
the next generation of work with this student population. As
sustained protests across the United States call attention to the
ravages of systemic racism, Am I My Brother's Keeper? highlights
concrete steps that school districts can take to confront racist
structures and support young people of color.
Use a sociopolitical context to explore the meaning, necessity, and
benefits of multicultural education Effective multicultural
education must consider not just schooling, but also the larger
social, economic, and political factors that affect students'
success or failure in the classroom. Affirming Diversity: The
Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural Education helps readers
understand these pervasive influences by presenting extensive
research and data on the sociopolitical nature of schools and
society, information about different sociocultural groups, and a
conceptual framework for examining multicultural education.
Real-life cases and teaching stories dominate in this book that
offers a first-hand look into the lives of students and educators
from a variety of backgrounds. Additionally, tips for classroom
activities and community actions offer aspiring teachers concrete
suggestions to provide high-quality, inclusive education in spite
of obstacles they may face. Throughout the 7th Edition, Nieto and
Bode consider current policy, practice, and legislation issues
while they outline a model of multicultural education that affirms
diversity, encourages critical thinking, and leads to social
justice and action.
Core Practices for Project-Based Learning offers a framework and
essential set of strategies for successfully implementing
project-based learning (PBL) in the classroom. Centering on
teaching practice, this work moves beyond project planning to focus
on the complex instructional demands of the student-centered PBL
approach. Pam Grossman and her colleagues draw on their research
with teachers, educational leaders, and curriculum designers to
identify the instructional goals, practices, and mindsets that
enable educators to effectively facilitate deep learning in PBL
environments. The authors first define the four primary teaching
goals of the PBL model: supporting subject-area learning, engaging
students in authentic work, encouraging student collaboration and
agency, and building an iterative culture where students are always
prototyping, reflecting, and trying again. They then equip
educators with ten key practices that serve these goals. These
practices include methods to elicit higher-order thinking, engage
students in disciplinary and interdisciplinary practice, and mentor
student decision making. The authors guide educators from a clear
starting place through a series of concrete, manageable steps that
apply whether they are initiating PBL or working to improve the
quality of existing PBL implementation. Extended case studies
illustrate the use of the core practices in real-world situations.
Core Practices for Project-Based Learning is an invaluable resource
to help educators realize their instructional vision and create
meaningful student experiences.
Using features such as case studies, exercises and points for
reflection, this is an ideal introduction to managing the
supervisory relationship for both trainee and supervisor. This
second edition of the book formerly titled Counselling Supervision
now covers new and contemporary areas of supervision such as
ethical maturity, insights into supervision from neuroscience, the
organisational demands from the various contexts in which
supervision takes place. It widens the concept of supervision to
include professions such as coaching, organisational development
consulting, counselling and psychology.
The History of Modern Japanese Education is the first account in
English of the construction of a national school system in Japan,
as outlined in the 1872 document, the Gakusei. Divided into three
parts tracing decades of change, the book begins by exploring the
feudal background for the Gakusei during the Tokugawa era which
produced the initial leaders of modern Japan. Next, Benjamin Duke
traces the Ministry of Education's investigations of the 1870s to
determine the best western model for Japan, including the decision
to adopt American teaching methods. He then goes on to cover the
eventual ""reverse course"" sparked by the Imperial Household
protest that the western model overshadowed cherished Japanese
traditions. Ultimately, the 1890 Imperial Rescript on Education
integrated Confucian teachings of loyalty and filial piety with
Imperial ideology, laying the moral basis for a western-style
academic curriculum in the nation's schools.
Situational awareness is more complex than simply noticing what is
happening around you. An emergency responder must capture clues and
cues in the emergency environment, make sense of the information,
and predict what will happen next. In Situational Awareness for
Emergency Response, Richard Gasaway establishes the foundation of
decision making and the role of situational awareness in high-risk
public safety environments. He explains his original research on
command decisions and the barriers that challenge a commander's
situational awareness, and offers lessons learned and best
practices that can assist responders in preventing or overcoming
the situational awareness barriers. Situational Awareness for
Emergency Response is an ideal resource for incident commanders,
line personnel who make high-stress decisions, and students
learning to develop and maintain situational awareness. Features
and benefits: Realise how decisions are made in high-stress,
high-consequence, and time-compressed situations Understand
situational awareness and its role in making good and bad decisions
Identify barriers that challenge a commander's situational
awareness Improve your decision making with the lessons learned and
recommended best practices Use the 25-point checklist as an
incident evaluation tool to improve safety

This invaluable resource can help transform online courses into
exciting, meaningful, and active e-learning experiences. "75
e-Learning Activities" is filled with scores of e-learning
activities and games that offer trainers and instructors a handbook
for creating interactive and engaging online courses. Much like the
activities and games used in traditional classroom training, these
e-learning activities can be used to increase interactivity, engage
learners, accomplish learning objectives, develop online
relationships, promote active learning, and create learning
communities. With many examples available on the CD-ROM for easy
online transfer, the activities can help elaborate on course
content through the use of online technologies such as chat rooms,
email, or discussion boards.
Trauma-Responsive Schooling outlines a novel approach to
transforming American schools through student-centered,
trauma-informed practices. The book chronicles the use of an
innovative educational model, Trauma-Responsive Equitable Education
(TREE), as part of a multiyear research project in two elementary
schools in rural Maine. In this model, Lyn Mikel Brown, Catharine
Biddle, and Mark Tappan endorse whole-school change, encouraging
educators to upend traditional classroom power dynamics by
listening foremost to student voices, validating student
experiences, and promoting student agency. The authors provide
complex real-life examples of student involvement in the creation
and implementation of trauma-responsive and equitable practices.
Their work offers readers concrete, actionable examples of such
practices, which include supporting the whole child by promoting
social and emotional learning (SEL) as well as academic
achievement; providing access to basic needs such as food,
clothing, and health care; and meeting the instructional
requirements of dual-language learners. Many rural schools in the
United States experience low student achievement and high
absenteeism rates as their geographically isolated communities
struggle with poverty, substance abuse, and other significant
stressors. Yet, as the authors demonstrate, supportive learning
environments, even in under-resourced rural schools, are able to
mitigate adversity, stress, and trauma-and thus promote healing.
This heartening work illustrates that, when educators and school
leaders put student needs and interests at the core of school life,
long-lasting change for all students is possible.
Mariska Ott zeigt am Beispiel des franzoesischen
Berufsbildungssystems auf, inwiefern es moeglich ist, auf Basis von
wirkungsorientierten Curricula (Outcome-Orientierung) verschiedene,
aber gleichwertige Lernwege - darunter ein Verfahren zur
Anerkennung von informell erworbenen Kompetenzen - zu etablieren.
Diesbezuglich liegen in Frankreich bereits Erfahrungen vor, da sich
die franzoesische Berufsbildung seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre
sukzessive einem outcome-orientierten Paradigma angenahert hat.
Frankreich hat damit eine Entwicklung antizipiert, wie sie derzeit
auch auf europaischer Ebene - beispielsweise mit der Einfuhrung des
Europaischen Qualifikationsrahmens - angestrebt wird. Insofern
leistet die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Potenzial von
outcome-orientierten Ansatzen im Hinblick auf eine Flexibilisierung
des Berufsbildungssystems auch einen Beitrag zum aktuellen Diskurs
uber die Europaisierung der Berufsbildung.
