Many science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) faculty wish
to make an academic change at the course, department, college, or
university level, but they lack the specific tools and training
that can help them achieve the changes they desire. Making Changes
in STEM Education: The Change Maker’s Toolkit is a practical
guide based on academic change research and designed to equip STEM
faculty and administrators with the skills necessary to accomplish
their academic change goals. Each tool is categorized by a dominant
theme in change work, such as opportunities for change, strategic
vision, communication, teamwork, stakeholders, and partnerships,
and is presented in context by the author, herself a change leader
in STEM. In addition, the author provides interviews with STEM
faculty and leaders who are engaged in their own change projects,
offering additional insight into how the tools can be applied to a
variety of educational contexts. The book is ideal for STEM faculty
who are working to change their courses, curricula, departments,
and campuses and STEM administrators who lead such change work to
support their faculties, as well as graduate students in STEM who
plan to enter an academic position upon graduation and expect to
work on academic change projects.

Teachers and Parents: This timely collection of essays addresses
the demanding but also rewarding work of supporting schools and
nurturing the learning of schoolchildren today. Author and educator
Julia M. Williams is an Assistant Professor at the University of
Minnesota Duluth, where she prepares tomorrow's teachers. In
writing this caring, funny, and lyrical commentary, she draws from
a deep well of professional knowledge as well as the personal
experience of having raised six children as a mom and a stepmom.
Beginning with the idea that all of us are trying to do the right
thing for kids, she shares with readers some of the wonders that
are being discovered about how children learn, and she illuminates
how schools and parents can use what the research is telling us. As
Williams says in the book, "We all need to learn and grow and go
forward in our roles, holding hands and reaching out to embrace the
opportunity that surrounds us and the children we love."
