A volume in The Handbook of Research in Middle Level Education
series (Sponsored by the Middle Level Education Research Special
Interest Group and the National Middle School Association ) The
need for continued research at the middle level is clear and
urgent. The previous volumes in this Handbook series testify to
this urgency. While quantitative studies continue to be essential,
there is a critical need to understand the complexities of the
middle level community. One way to capture the rich, diverse mosaic
of the voices and experiences of middle level participants and
stakeholders is to use narrative inquiry methodology. The intent of
this volume in The Handbook is to give voice to and broaden our
understanding of the wide variety of participants and stakeholders
who weave through the middle level. Such participants and
stakeholders may include middle level teachers, school
psychologists and counselors, students, parents, administrators,
middle level researchers, research foundations, and community
groups. In addition to hearing directly from these groups, this
volume will focus on the intricate webs, connections and questions
that these narratives hold and frame them within current middle
level research, theory, and practice. Ultimately this volume will
highlight the nuance, diversity and future directions that research
may need to explore.

Aimed at student teachers, educators and practitioners, Teaching
English Language to Young Learners outlines and explains the
crucial issues, themes and scenarios relating to this area of
teaching. Each chapter by a leading international scholar offers a
thorough introduction to a central theme of English as a foreign
language (EFL) with preteens, with clear presentation of the
theoretical background and detailed references for further reading,
providing access to the most recent scholarship. Exploring the
essential issues critically and in-depth, including the
disadvantages as well as advantages of Teaching English as a
Foreign Language (TEFL) with young learners, topics include: -
task-based learning in the primary school; - storytelling; - drama;
- technology; - vocabulary development; - intercultural
understanding; - Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)
scenarios; - assessment. Innovative and rapidly emerging topics are
covered, such as immersion teaching, picturebooks in the EFL
classroom and English with pre-primary children.
The book discusses the complex nature of understanding and what it
means to teach for understanding. The processes and strategies that
can support teaching for understanding are then exemplified in the
context of different areas of the primary / elementary (4-11 years)
school curriculum.
Mastering Primary English introduces the primary English curriculum
and helps trainees and teachers learn how to plan and teach
inspiring lessons that make English learning irresistible. Topics
covered include: * Current developments in English * English as an
irresistible activity * English as a practical activity * Skills to
develop in English * Promoting curiosity * Assessing children in
English * Practical issues This guide includes examples of
children's work, case studies, readings to reflect upon and
reflective questions that all help to exemplify what is considered
to be best and most innovative practice. The book draws on the
experience of two leading professionals in primary English, Wendy
Jolliffe and David Waugh, to provide the essential guide to
teaching English for all trainee and qualified primary teachers.
The need to improve the mathematical proficiency of elementary
teachers is well recognized, and it has long been of interest to
educators and researchers in the U.S. and many other countries. But
the specific proficiencies that elementary teachers need and the
process of developing and improving them remain only partially
conceptualized and not well validated empirically. To improve this
situation, national workshops were organized at Texas A&M
University to generate focused discussions about this important
topic, with participation of mathematicians, mathematics educators
and teachers. Developing Mathematical Proficiency for Elementary
Instruction is a collection of articles that grew out of those
exciting cross-disciplinary exchanges. Developing Mathematical
Proficiency for Elementary Instruction is organized to probe the
specifics of mathematical proficiency that are important to
elementary teachers during two separate but inter-connected
professional stages: as pre-service teachers in a preparation
program, and as in-service teachers teaching mathematics in
elementary classrooms. From this rich and inspiring collection,
readers may better understand, and possibly rethink, their own
practices and research in empowering elementary teachers
mathematically and pedagogically, as educators or researchers.
This is the story of one school's successful journey to a 'life
after levels'. Together, the Headteacher and staff at one
successful school took on the challenge: Where do we begin? What is
the best assessment system for our school and our children? How do
we make the most of assessment opportunities in the classroom? How
do we create an assessment policy from scratch and implement it in
the school? How do we evaluate it, re-shape it and talk about it to
parents, the wider school community and our colleagues in primary
education? Through exploring one school's story, this text supports
teachers and schools in a time of uncertainty, confusion and choice
to make the most of the new opportunity to assess children without
the restrictions of levels. "The removal of Levels has given all
professionals involved in education a unique opportunity to
rediscover what we value in this key aspect of teaching and
learning...and it is an opportunity that we must grab with both
hands. I want this book to provide a time for reflection for
teachers and school leaders to re-adjust their thinking on
assessment and to get excited about it." - Sam Hunter -
