This book explores the ways in which Ayurveda, the oldest medical
tradition of the Indian subcontinent, was transformed from a
composite of 'ancient' medical knowledge into a 'modern' medical
system, suited to the demands posed by apparatuses of health
developed in colonial India. It examines the shift between an
entrenched colonial reticence to consider the Indigenous Medical
Systems as legitimate scientific medicine, to a growing acceptance
of Ayurvedic medicine following the First World War. Locating the
moment of transition within the implementation of a dyarchic system
of governance in 1919, the book argues that the revamping of the
'Medical Services' into an important new category of regional
governance ushered in an era of health planning that considered
curative and preventative medicine as key components of the
'health' of the population. As such, it illuminates the way in
which conceptions of power, authority and agency were newly
configured and consolidated as politics were revamped in the late
colonial India.

Interpersonal communication has been studied in terms of both
communication functions and specialized contexts. This handbook
comprehensively covers the field including research on processes of
social influence, the role of communication in the development,
maintenance and decline of close personal relationships, nonverbal
communication, cognitive approaches, communication and conflict,
bargaining and negotiation, health communication, organizational
socialization and supervisor-subordinate communication, social
networks, and technologically-mediated interpersonal communication.
Two chapters are dedicated to research methods in the field. The
handbook includes chapters by widely recognized and respected
scholars in the field.
Korean Communication, Media, and Culture is a bibliography of
English-language publications for non-Korean-speaking academics,
researchers, and professionals. In addition to the actual
annotations of all the major books, book chapters, journal
articles, and theses/dissertations, each chapter includes
contextual introductory commentary on its topic. The authors not
only historicize their findings but they also prescribe the
direction that English-language research on Korean communication
should take.

In an earlier era, the communication field was dominated by the
study of mediated and unmediated message effects during which
considerable research focused on the attitudinal and action
consequences of exposure to messages. A more catholic purview of
the communication process exists today. This more encompassing
perspective does not deny the importance of studying message
effects, but raises the additional question of how individuals
generate messages in the first place. While the earlier era of
communication research was dominated by studies that focused on
attitude and behavior change as primary dependent variables, such
variables as message comprehension have begun to emerge in this new
era. The focus on communication and cognition has led,
paradoxically, to a more intense focus on social interaction
processes. The theory and research presented in this volume seeks
to strike a balance between the internal workings of the individual
cognitive system on the one hand and the outer world of social
interaction on the other. Whether or not the theory and research
stands the test of time, it is clear that complete cognitive
accounts of social interaction cannot confine themselves to mere
descriptions of the cognitive structures and processes that are
responsible for message production and comprehension. Explicit
links must be made between these cognitive structures and processes
and the workings of social interaction. This work takes a modest
step in that direction.
The Grand Canyon is an American icon, a scenic wonder like no
other. From the several Native American tribes who have called
Grand Canyon home to swashbuckling pioneers to an airliner
collision over the canyon that led to the formation of the FAA, It
Happened at Grand Canyon tells the history of this colossal,
magnificent place.

A practical guide to deeper instruction a framework for
challenging, engaging, and empowering students of all ages For
schools to meet ambitious new standards and prepare all students
for college, careers, and life, research has shown unequivocally
that nothing is more important that the quality of daily
instruction. Learning That Lasts presents a new vision for
classroom instruction that sharpens and deepens the quality of
lessons in all subject areas. It is the opposite of a
'teacher-proof' solution. Instead, it is predicated on a model of
instruction that honors teachers as creative and expert planners of
learning experiences for their students and who wish to
continuously grow in their instructional and content knowledge. It
is not a theoretical vision. It is a model of instruction refined
in some of the nation's most successful public schools schools that
are beating the odds to create remarkable achievement sited
primarily in urban and rural low-income communities. Using case
studies and examples of powerful learning at all grade levels and
in all disciplines, Learning That Lasts is a guide to creating
classrooms that promote deeper understanding, higher order
thinking, and student independence. Through text and companion
videos, readers will enter inspiring classrooms where students go
beyond basics to become innovators, collaborators, and creators.
Learning That Lasts embraces a three-dimensional view of student
achievement that includes mastery of knowledge and skills,
character, and high-quality work. It is a guide for teachers who
wish to make learning more meaningful, memorable, and connected to
life, and inspire students to do more than they think possible.

From EL Education comes a proven approach to student assessment
Leaders of Their Own Learning offers a new way of thinking about
assessment based on the celebrated work of EL Education schools
across the country. Student-Engaged Assessment is not a single
practice but an approach to teaching and learning that equips and
compels students to understand goals for their learning and growth,
track their progress toward those goals, and take responsibility
for reaching them. This requires a set of interrelated strategies
and structures and a whole-school culture in which students are
given the respect and responsibility to be meaningfully engaged in
their own learning. * Includes everything teachers and school
leaders need to implement a successful Student-Engaged Assessment
system in their schools * Outlines the practices that will engage
students in making academic progress, improve achievement, and
involve families and communities in the life of the school *
Describes each of the book's eight key practices, gives advice on
how to begin, and explains what teachers and school leaders need to
put into practice in their own classrooms * Ron Berger is Chief
Program Officer for EL Education and a former public school teacher
Leaders of Their Own Learning shows educators how to ignite the
capacity of students to take responsibility for their own learning,
meet Common Core and state standards, and reach higher levels of
achievement. DVD and other supplementary materials are not included
as part of the e-book file, but are available for download after
purchase.

The ELA skills prioritized by the Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) demand different cognitive capacities in students and
different instructional approaches by teachers. In a study
published in "Educational Researcher," Andrew Porter from the
University of Pennsylvania compared the CCSS to state standards
from a range of states; his team concluded that the CCSS were
dramatically different from current state standards, the most
powerful change being an increase in "higher order cognitive
demand" for students. The big challenge for schools implementing
the CCSS is not tweaking state standards at grade levels, but a
whole different set of teaching practices that build higher order
thinking and work in students. Drawing on its 20-year history of
building independence, responsibility and student-ownership of
learning, Expeditionary Learning has an important role to play in
helping teachers make the instructional shifts necessary to build
these skills in students. From its Outward Bound roots to its
recent focus on student-engaged assessment, the EL model has been
centered on imbuing students with responsibility for their growth,
active and engaging pedagogy, and relevant curriculum that
motivates students to do more than they think possible. This book
focuses on the instructional shifts required to help students meet
the rigorous new literacy standards of the Common Core. The authors
explore common misconceptions about the Common Core and provide
practical guidance to teachers and school leaders seeking to
implement the CCSS through relevant and engaging classroom
practices. Filled with case studies, resources, and high quality
videos of master teachers at work, the book will offer educators a
vision of the Common Core at its best.
