This volume represents a compilation of critically reflexive
thinkers in adaptive physical activity (APA) who have willingly
embraced the uncomfortable issues of ableism, disableism, and
ethically questionable professional practices in the field. From an
unprecedented, frank, and introspective stance, the authors make
the comfortable and taken-for-granted, uncomfortable. International
researchers and educators bring reflexion to ableism in higher
education - including curriculum making, textbooks as artefacts of
the professional landscape in APA, and the models of disability
that unconsciously frame post-secondary instruction in APA.

As a teacher, what you want most is for your students to learn: to
immerse themselves in rich and challenging content and leave your
classroom better prepared for school and life. In English language
arts and humanities, this includes developing the multifaceted
reading, writing, thinking, and communication skills that
constitute next generation literacy, including the ability to: Read
complex text independently. Develop strong content knowledge
through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Tailor
communication in response to different audiences, tasks, purposes,
and disciplines. Comprehend text as well as critique it. Value
evidence in arguments they read, hear, or develop. Use technology
strategically and capably. Understand perspectives and cultures
that differ from their own. But as a teacher, you also know how
much is riding on THOSE TESTS: achievement tests from the national
assessment consortia, the SAT and ACT, and independent state
assessments. Is it possible to help students succeed on mandated
tests without sacrificing your values, your creativity, and their
education? Yes, it is possible. This book shows you how. This not a
test-prep book. It is not about ""drill and kill"" practices that
narrow learning so that students will pass an exam. Instead,
authors Maureen Connolly and Vicky Giouroukakis present a lesson
planning approach for the secondary classroom that generates test
success as a byproduct of comprehensive literacy learning. After a
comparative analysis of how current ELA assessments measure
literacy, they model a backward design-based process for using
these test items as a tool to create engaging and effective
instruction. With 6 sample lessons, 42 instructional techniques,
and tips for differentiation, this practical resource will empower
you to help the students you love become capable, literate
individuals who are also well-prepared to ace high-stakes tests.
Literacy-it's not just for English teachers anymore. The new Common
Core English Language Arts Standards aren't just for English
teachers. Fluent reading and writing are critically important to
the study of history/social studies, science, and technical
subjects, too. What's more, the progress your students make is
directly tied to their ability to process information they read and
to express their ideas in writing. So how do you make literacy a
focus of your teaching . . . without taking time away from
essential content? This practical resource-packed with
teacher-tested, CCSS-based sample lessons-shows you how, using the
Backward Design approach to set and meet your goals. Each lesson
template includes The teaching strategies you'll utilize Ways to
incorporate technology and media Variations for differentiation and
interdisciplinary connections Links to the work of major
educational theorists Following these models, you'll set the CCSS
in your sights and develop lessons that both meet standards and fit
your classroom. Before you know it, you'll be infusing reading and
writing across your curriculum in purposeful and meaningful ways.
