Society, the Classroom, and Instructional Practice has been
developed to help middle and high school teachers speak to the
difficult 21st century issues in a rational, thoughtful manner. Dr.
Sparapani has collected a set of experts who address societal
issues as far ranging as sexual minorities, eating disorders, and
urban education. He then has contributors to the book offer
insights into integrating developmental and sociological theories
into secondary education. In the third and final section, Dr.
Sparapani has formed a group of experts to help in-service and
pre-service teachers understand how they can address relevant
real-world issues in their classrooms while teaching the school's
established curriculum. In one text, Dr. Sparapani examines broad
theoretical pedagogy, then narrows it to real-world application for
teachers. As an edited volume, Dr. Sparapani has utilized the best
experts in the field, giving the reader a variety of relevant and
validated voices for a solid foundation in education and the
current issues facing the profession today.
This book examines the current social, political, economic, and
religious climate of the world, makes projections for the future,
and then makes suggestions for what the contributors believe
educators need to think about in order to adequately prepare young
people to successfully navigate that future. We live in a
globally-connected world, and young people, as they move into the
future, need to be prepared to live in that future. Schools (and
teachers) tend to focus on the present, which is okay; however,
schools (and teachers) must decide what is important to know in the
present in order for young people to be successful in the future.
The responsibility of education today must be to prepare learners
to live in an unknown future, that is global, and not be so focused
on an uncertain present.
In the current standards-based, accountability-driven world of
education, it is difficult for educators to use differentiated
instruction to cater to the individual learning needs of each
student. This book explains differentiating instruction in a way
that connects to current standards and provides examples of
challenging best practice lessons.
