Students With Mild Exceptionalities
This concise and practical guide thoroughly presents the characteristics of children with specific mild exceptionalities in today's diverse classroom. Using an active, problem-solving approach that reflects how today's students learn, Dr. Sydney S. Zentall identifies the characteristics of children with mild exceptionalities that can be gleaned from observations, written descriptions, and personal interactions. Unlike many texts on this topic, which overwhelm students with extraneous information, The text focuses on the characteristics of these students within general education and special class settings. With this knowledge readers will better understand the implications of characteristics for accommodations and be ready to apply this knowledge with empirically based interventions.
Technology, Theory, and Practice in Interdisciplinary STEM Programs
This book highlights models for promoting interdisciplinary thinking and an appreciation for interdisciplinary understanding among students in STEM-related fields. Students majoring in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics often perceive that courses in their major are not related to the general education liberal arts courses required for their degrees. This separation prevents the transfer of skills between their general education courses and their degree pursuits. The false dichotomy is particularly important because solving the daunting challenges of the twenty-first century—such as drug-resistant bacteria, scarcity of natural resources, and climate change—requires global citizens armed with robust, complex abilities who can integrate interdisciplinary concepts with bold technologies. Contributors to this book explore ways in which this dichotomy can be overcome.
Developing Culturally and Developmentally Appropriate Early STEM Learning Experiences
This book informs best practice for enhancing young children’s STEM learning experiences in formal settings such as preschool environments and less formal settings such as home environments. It is the first collection of multidisciplinary and multinational studies on early STEM programs worldwide and presents diverse, authentic, and current STEM-relevant scenarios that address two fundamental problems: where are we in early STEM education? and where shall we go? The book explores factors that influence young learners’ abilities to make informed choices in authentic, problem-based, STEM-relevant scenarios and how those abilities have been identified, documented, and enhanced. Chapters add...
STEM Education and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies: Research, Practices, and Critical Reflections
Rather than engaging students in more fluid and malleable content experiences, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) content is presented as a stoic realm in which learners are mere visitors as opposed to full participants. The connection between culture and content falls short of allowing for the plethora of cultures, backgrounds, and experiences diverse students bring to the classroom. Furthermore, even fewer can effectively demonstrate this connection in STEM-related subject areas. Culturally responsive sustaining pedagogy (CSP) can allow STEM educational spaces to be opened to diverse learners at all educational levels, fostering a more socially just and pluralistic so...
Growing Together
Communities of practice are an age-old phenomenon representing teamwork. Whether it's researchers developing treatments for a disease or educators sharing best practices to enhance early childhood learning, communities of practice are about connection and shared purpose. Growing Together will help you define, create, and promote a community of practice to foster collaborative problem solving and enhance professional learning experiences.
