This book demonstrates school-based approaches to primary science
teacher education. The models used involve partnerships between
universities and primary schools to engage pre-service primary
teachers in classroom teaching and learning that effectively
connects theory with practice separate to the formal practicum
arrangements. The book is a culmination of the research and
collaboration of researchers from five Australian universities
involved in the Science Teacher Education Partnerships with Schools
(STEPS) project, funded by the Australian Government Office for
Learning and Teaching. While the STEPS project focused on
partnerships in primary science teacher education, a key strength
of the partnership model (the STEPS Interpretive Framework)
developed and explored in this book is its applicability for
cross-case, national, international, and inter-state analyses of
partnership practices. This is shown through a number of case
studies where the STEPS Interpretive Framework is applied and
evaluated in the context of other school- or learning-related
partnerships. These broad-ranging analyses illustrate the relevance
of the model to a range of settings, both within and outside of
education.
This book identifies and surveys the major themes around
'out-of-field teaching', that is, teaching subjects or year levels
without a specialization. This has been an issue in many countries
for some time, yet until recently there has been little formal
research and poor policy responses to related problems. This book
arises out of collaborations between members of an international
group of researchers and practitioners from Australia, Germany,
Ireland, England, South Africa, Indonesia and the United States.
Cross-national comparisons of ideas through case studies,
descriptions of practice and research data interrogates the
experiences, practices, and contexts relating to out-of-field
teaching. In particular, the book considers the phenomenon of
out-of-field teaching in relation to national policy contexts,
local school leadership practices, professional development. The
book represents an essential contribution on a highly topical issue
that has implications for quality and equitable education around
the globe.

A sixteen year old Jewish boy from Romania leaves his homeland and
travels to America, only dreaming of the possibilities that await
him. Thirty Bucks and a Dream is based on the true story of his
family who immigrate through Ellis Island in the early 1900's.
There is excitement on the horizon for the young man as he matures
and prospers in the New York world of business, falls in love with
a Ziegfeld Follies star, and begins a family. The book continues
with the story of his daughter and her success singing on the New
York stage and radio, and her courtship with a Navy Fire Controlman
who serves on a destroyer during World War II. The combination of
true events make this immigrant story unique and illustrates that
dreams can truly become reality. The reader shares in the
challenges, failures, successes, and joy of the characters. Fifty
years of family history and historical events come alive in the
saga of Thirty Bucks and a Dream.
