Exploring Diversity through Multimodality, Narrative, and Dialogue
awakens educators to the ways in which values, beliefs, language
use, culture, identity, social class, race, and other factors
filter approaches to teaching and expectations for students.
Designed as a guide to help educators engage in dialogic
interactions, the text articulates a theoretically grounded and
research-based framework related to the use of personal narratives
as learning tools. Educators are encouraged to consider their own
positions, explore topics of diversity and social justice, and
identify ways to better address student needs. Drawing on theories
from multiliteracies, multimodality, embodiment, and narrative,
chapters are framed around book discussions and the use of personal
narrative to define and provide examples of dialogic interactions.
Unique to this book is its focus on embodied learning and
multimodality as well as myriad artifacts produced by educators;
listening, not just dialogic talk; writing (both traditional print
texts and multimodal composition) that supports dialogic
interaction; and not merely responding to literature but developing
empathic responses to texts, students, and others whose opinions
may differ from one's own viewpoints. The specific techniques and
approaches presented can be used within educational and
professional development settings to help readers enhance their
journey toward greater awareness of others and of their own beliefs
and experiences that lead toward social justice for all.

Using a multiliteracies theoretical framework highlighting
social diversity and multimodality as central in the process of
meaning making, this book examines literacy teaching and learning
as embedded in cultural, linguistic, racial, sexual, and gendered
contexts and explores ways to foster learning and achievement for
diverse students in various settings. Attending simultaneously to
topics around two overarching and interrelated themes languages and
language variations, and cultures, ethnicities, and identities the
chapter authors examine the roles that multiliteracies play in
students lives in and out of classrooms. In Part I, readers are
asked to examine beliefs and dispositions as related to different
languages, language varieties, cultures, ethnicities, and
identities. Part II engages readers in examining classroom and
community practices related to different languages and language
varieties, cultures, ethnicities, and identities."
This book presents an evidence-based framework for understanding
the literacy needs of adolescents. The premise is that educators
and other critical stakeholders need to understand evidence-based
principles in order to develop effective curriculum to meet the
needs of diverse learners. Recommendations are provided for middle
and secondary education, professional development, teacher
education research and policy. At the center of the book are Eight
Guiding Principles developed by the authors through a process that
included an extensive review of research and policy literature in
literacy and related fields, a comparison of National Standards
documents, and visits to the classrooms of 28 middle and high
school teachers across the United States. The Principles are broad
enough to encompass a variety of contexts and student needs, yet
specific enough to offer real support to those involved in program
development or policy decisions. They provide an overarching
structure that districts and teachers can use to develop
site-specific curriculum that is both research-based and designed
to meet the needs of the learners for whom they are responsible.
Important Text Features: Organized to help readers understand
empirically supported principles of practice that can be used to
address literacy concerns in today's schools, each chapter that
addresses one of the eight Principles follows a similar format: *
The Principle is presented along with a brief explanation of the
research base and a sample of national standards that support it. *
One or more case examples spanning a wide variety of disciplines,
grade levels, and local conditions - provide an in-depth look at
the Principle in action. * A well-known adolescent literacy expert
offers a response to each case example, giving readers an informed
view of the importance of the Principle, how it is enacted in the
cases, and examples of other work related to the Principle.
Discussion questions are provided that can be used for individual
reflection or group discussion. Principled Practices for Adolescent
Literacy is intended as a text for pre-service and in-service
upper-elementary, middle and high school literacy methods courses
and graduate courses related to adolescent literacy, and as a
resource for school district personnel, policymakers and parents.
This book provides a serious introduction to the subject of mass
spectrometry, providing the reader with the tools and information
to be well prepared to perform such demanding work in a real-life
laboratory. This essential tool bridges several subjects and many
disciplines including pharmaceutical, environmental and biomedical
analysis that are utilizing mass spectrometry:
Covers all aspects of the use of mass spectrometry for
quantitation purposesWritten in textbook style to facilitate
understanding of this topicPresents fundamentals and real-world
examples in a 'learning-though-doing' style
Combining video analysis with the well-known Gradual Release of
Responsibility (GRR) model, this book offers teacher educators a
fresh perspective and a new tool for supporting teachers' learning
and reflection. The clearly articulated and useful framework shifts
the focus away from children and toward teachers' thinking about
their own teaching practice. Interwoven with practical examples of
the framework in use, this book identifies ways that teachers and
teacher educators can foster more productive kinds of reflection
about video-recorded classroom interactions and support preservice
and inservice teachers. Offering key tools such as templates for
reflection, video viewing guides, self-analysis checklists, and
activities, this book moves the field forward and establishes video
reflection and the GRR process as critical tools for teacher
reflection, professional development, and effective teaching and
learning.
Life-Cycle Assessment of Semiconductors presents the first and thus
far only available transparent and complete life cycle assessment
of semiconductor devices. A lack of reliable semiconductor LCA data
has been a major challenge to evaluation of the potential
environmental benefits of information technologies (IT). The
analysis and results presented in this book will allow a higher
degree of confidence and certainty in decisions concerning the use
of IT in efforts to reduce climate change and other environmental
effects. Coverage includes but is not limited to semiconductor
manufacturing trends by product type and geography, unique coverage
of life-cycle assessment, with a focus on uncertainty and
sensitivity analysis of energy and global warming missions for CMOS
logic devices, life cycle assessment of flash memory and life cycle
assessment of DRAM. The information and conclusions discussed here
will be highly relevant and useful to individuals and institutions.
