As editors of Breaking the Mold of School Instruction and
Organization: Innovative and Successful Practices for the 21st
Century (2010) and Breaking the Mold of Preservice and Inservice
Teacher Education: Innovative and Successful Practices for the 21st
Century (2011), we have explored innovative practices, many of
which represent issues of diversity from multiple perspectives and
schools of thought. As we have considered relevant factors,
problems, and circumstances that influence effective education, we
most readily recognize that within the twenty-first century, issues
of diversity have become even more profound. This book, the third
in the Breaking the Mold series, was conceptualized with the hope
that by sharing compelling stories of successful innovation,
advocacy, and social justice, more children and their families will
be affected in positive ways. The narratives presented in this
volume are rooted in classrooms, districts, communities, teacher
preparation programs from around the United States and many corners
of the world. The unique initiatives portrayed here represent
collaborative efforts by students, teachers, administrators,
professors, parents, boards of education, and global citizens who
believe in change and transformation for the betterment of
education.
This unique collection of chapters takes the reader on a tour to
explore innovative preservice and inservice teacher education
practices from many regions of the United States, Canada and the
world. Each of the chapters offers an authentic, documentary
account of successful initiatives that break the traditional mold
of teacher education. Section I presents unique preservice teacher
preparation programs and initiatives. These chapters offer
compelling ideas to readers who seek change in the higher education
model of teacher training. Section II features inservice education
for both the novice and veteran teacher. The chapters included in
this section of the book offer stories of innovation as
professional development initiatives. Each of the programs
describes the setting or context in which the innovation takes
place and focuses on the role of teachers and students. Chapters in
Section III highlight the benefits of collaborative teacher
education practices. Through the lens of community and with the
tools of cooperation and support, innovative practices are
described for the improvement of student learning. Section IV
offers less commonly presented diverse, global perspectives on
teacher education. The sharing of ideas through global examples
highlight the similarities in educational practices and common
goals across the world.
This one-of-a-kind collection of chapters takes the reader on a
tour to explore innovative practices from classrooms, schools,
districts, communities, and faraway places in the world. Each of
the chapters-organized under six headings-tells an authentic,
compelling story of a pioneering and successful initiative that
breaks the traditional mold of instructional delivery and
time-honored school organization. Breaking the Mold of School
Instruction and Organization guides readers through examples of
education initiatives which go beyond traditional classroom
restraints to achieve surprising success.
Cohan, Honigsfeld, and Dove bring together current research,
authentic examples of best practices, and voices from the field to
champion the power of purposeful collaboration and provide
educators with resources that will empower them to support English
learners (ELs) and their families. Guided by four core principles
(common purpose, shared mindset, diverse team membership,
supportive environment), the authors explain how to meet the
challenges of collaborating with ELs and help all
stakeholders-administrators, teachers, students, parents, community
leaders-develop new and effective ways of working together for the
success of each learner.
Classroom management is often perceived as the most overwhelming
challenge faced by new teachers; it may also continue to confront
more experienced educators as they encounter a new group of
youngsters or face a new set of demands. Successful classroom
management is invariably tied to student engagement and
empowerment: teachers who are singled out for excellent classroom
management practices are often praised for successfully maintaining
a strong instructional focus in their classes coupled with high
levels of student motivation. The contributors offer
classroom-tested strategies and timely advice on how to create such
an effective and supportive instructional environment for academic
and social-emotional learning for all. Similar to the previous four
volumes, Breaking the Mold of School Instruction and Organization:
Innovative and Successful Practices for the 21st Century (2010),
Breaking the Mold of Preservice and Inservice Teacher Education
(2011), and, Breaking the Mold of Education for Culturally and
Linguistically Diverse Students (2012), and, Breaking the Mold of
Education: Innovative and Successful Practices for Student
Engagement, Empowerment, and Motivation (2013), the purpose of this
book is to offer a carefully selected collection of documented best
practices and practical, classroom-tested strategies for immediate
implementation
Similar to the previous three volumes, Breaking the Mold of School
Instruction and Organization: Innovative and Successful Practices
for the 21st Century (Honigsfeld & Cohan, 2010), Breaking the
Mold of Preservice and Inservice Teacher Education: Innovative and
Successful Practices for the 21st Century (Cohan & Honigsfeld,
2011), and, Breaking the Mold of Education for Culturally and
Linguistically Diverse Students: Innovative and Successful
Practices for the 21st Century (Honigsfeld & Cohan, 2012), the
purpose of this book is to offer a carefully selected collection of
documented best practices for empowering students. The contributing
authors represent diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences,
yet their chapters recognize similarities among students so that
the innovations can be transferred to other contexts. Each chapter
represents practical, research-based success stories as well as
authentic accomplishments which motivate and engage all students.
The 20 chapters in this volume are organized into four sections:
(a) making personal connections and engaging students in
reflection; (b) engagement with literacy and language; (c) music,
movement, arts, drama and other creative engagements; and (d)
school culture, community, and student success. The compelling
chapters shared in this volume-focused on innovation and
transformation-will help thrust education and teacher action
(rather than reaction) in a positive trajectory of change.
