Seit wenigen Jahren befassen sich Deutschunterricht und
Deutschdidaktik verstarkt mit SchulerInnen, die Migration erlebt
haben oder deren Familien eine Migrationsgeschichte besitzen.
Welche Rolle spielt der "Migrationshintergrund" in
Bildungsprozessen, welche Phanomene erklart er und welche nicht?
Der Band untersucht den Deutschunterricht und verschiedene seiner
Kontexte, die fur solche Fragen relevant sind. Die Beitrage stellen
Grundsatzuberlegungen und empirische Studien vor. Es geht um die
Ausbildung von DeutschlehrerInnen, die Lesesozialisation von
SchulerInnen, Bilder vom Deutschunterricht bei SchulerInnen und
interkulturelle Ansatze in Deutschbuchern. So kann der Band teils
verdeckte Zusammenhange sichtbar machen, die unterschiedliche
Aspekte eines komplexen Diskussionsfeldes verbinden.
Using strengths-based approaches to support development in
mathematics It's time to re-imagine what's possible and celebrate
the brilliance multilingual learners bring to today's classrooms.
Innovative teaching strategies can position these learners as
leaders in mathematics. Yet, as the number of multilingual learners
in North American schools grows, many teachers have not had
opportunities to gain the competencies required to teach these
learners effectively, especially in disciplines such as
mathematics. Multilingual learners-historically called English
Language Learners-are expected to interpret the meaning of
problems, analyze, make conjectures, evaluate their progress, and
discuss and understand their own approaches and the approaches of
their peers in mathematics classrooms. Thus, language plays a vital
role in mathematics learning, and demonstrating these competencies
in a second (or third) language is a challenging endeavor. Based on
best practices and the authors' years of research, this guide
offers practical approaches that equip grades K-8 teachers to draw
on the strengths of multilingual learners, partner with their
families, and position these learners for success. Readers will
find: * A focus on multilingual students as leaders * A
strength-based approach that draws on students' life experiences
and cultural backgrounds * An emphasis on maintaining high
expectations for learners' capacity for mastering rigorous content
* Strategies for representing concepts in different formats * Stop
and Think questions throughout and reflection questions at the end
of each chapter * Try It! Implementation activities, student work
examples, and classroom transcripts With case studies and
activities that provide a solid foundation for teachers' growth and
exploration, this groundbreaking book will help teachers and
teacher educators engage in meaningful, humanized mathematics
instruction.
Improve outcomes for students in poverty by understanding their
developing brains Economic hardship is changing our students' brain
structures at a genetic level, producing psychological, behavioral,
and cognitive issues that dramatically impact learning, behavior,
physical health, and emotional stability. But there is hope. This
groundbreaking book by one of the nation's top experts in brain
science and resilience offers solutions that will change minds,
attitudes, and behaviors. Learn about how problems develop between
people of different races, how the brain develops in persistent
poverty, and how it might react to solutions. Inside, you will find
real-life applications on topics including: * The lack of
culturally competent instruction and its impact on students of
color * Poverty's effect on language development and how it can be
positively influenced * The importance of reading * How to
counteract the effects of the widespread stress in lower SES
environments Children make up 23% of the U.S. population and
account for almost 33% of those living in poverty, making the
education system our most distressed institution. In The Poverty
Problem, you'll learn how to increase students' perseverance and
confidence and positively impact outcomes by arming yourself with
research-based instructional strategies that are inspiring,
realistic, and proven to work.
