This textbook serves as a guide for practitioners whose goal is to
enhance refugee students’ learning experiences. With millions of
children globally in refugee or seeking asylum status, this volume
is a must-read for every 21st century educator. Often, refugee
students have missed a substantial amount of schooling as a result
of the disruptions in their home countries and transit through
refugee camps. Others have never been to school at any
time. Refugees enter school with the same hopes and
aspirations as other students, but they also confront serious
challenges. This textbook helps educators to restore hope through
the following topics: Â Â Â Â empowering
refugees in school      liberating
structures in resettlement camps   Â
  increasing opportunity at university  Â
   designing compassionate pedagogies Â
    leveraging technology  Â
   connecting the community Each chapter
includes points to ponder as educators work to apply the principles
of restoring hope for refugee students and their families. This
textbook also provides practical suggestions and case studies that
will help educators to put theory into practice. Teachers and
professors who are passionate about honing their skills will find
this book a comprehensive resource when displaced students enter
their classrooms. This volume will also be of great interest
to teacher-educators, pre-service teachers, educators serving in
refugee camps and school administrators.
How can early and preservice teachers master the complex practice
of teaching? This clearly written, research-based guide shows how
to successfully navigate coursework, build relationships with
mentors, and negotiate fieldwork and student teaching while
developing metacognitive thinking skills. These are skills that
allow teachers to continuously reflect on instructional practices
and adapt them to fit their own teaching context and their
students' diverse needs. Metacognitive teaching requires
higher-level thought processes that, for teachers, include making
connections among each segment of the teacher preparation program,
as well as deciding how these experiences directly and effectively
apply to their classrooms. The authors argue that this kind of
support is needed early in the journey of a teacher if they are to
succeed and remain in the classroom. Book Features: Engages and
empowers teacher candidates to become metacognitive teachers.
Encompasses the entire preservice program, while also being of help
to novice teachers. Includes key points, vignettes, and reflection
questions. Based on research from a 3-year longitudinal, national
study of teacher candidates.
This clear, no-nonsense book guides current and future teachers
through the concepts, tools, methods, and goals of classroom
literacy assessment. The expert authors examine the roles of
formative, summative, and benchmark assessments; demystify state
and national tests and standards; and show how assessment can
seamlessly inform instruction. Strategies for evaluating, choosing,
and interpreting assessments are discussed, as are ways to
communicate data to parents and administrators. User-friendly
resources include boxed vignettes from teachers and researchers,
practical assessment tips (and traps to avoid), and 12 reproducible
planning forms and handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page
where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a
convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
