Der Übergang von der Grundschule in die weiterführenden Schulen bei Schülerinnen und Schülern mit Beeinträchtigungen: Übergangsempfehlung und Multiprofessionelle Kooperation aus Perspektive der Lehrkräfte
by Veronika DumbacherDer Übergang von der Grundschule in die weiterführenden Schulen ist eine frühe Weichenstellung im Bildungssystem, die für Kinder mit Beeinträchtigungen bedeutende Selektionsrisiken birgt. Die vorliegende qualitative Studie nimmt den Übergang ins Sekundarschulwesen bei Lernenden mit Beeinträchtigungen daher näher in den Blick. Dabei stehen zwei zentrale Aufgaben der Grundschullehrkraft im Mittelpunkt: die Übergangsempfehlung sowie die Multiprofessionelle Kooperation. Die Ergebnisse zur Übergangsempfehlung zeigen, dass die Lehrpersonen neben leistungsbezogenen Kriterien (z. B. Noten) zahlreiche weitere Merkmale in die Empfehlung einbeziehen (z. B. Merkmale der weiterführenden Schule; medizinisch-therapeutische Aspekte). Die Befunde zur Multiprofessionellen Kooperation verdeutlichen, dass die Grundschullehrkräfte die Lehrkraft für Sonderpädagogik als zentrale Kooperationspartnerin benennen. Der Hauptgrund für Kooperation beim Übergang besteht in der Erweiterung der eigenen Wissensbasis, wobei der Austausch als die am häufigsten praktizierte Form der Kooperation angeführt wird. In einer sich anschließenden Typenbildung lassen sich Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede im Empfehlungs- und Kooperationsverhalten der Lehrkräfte identifizieren.
Der Übergang von der reformpädagogischen Grundschule in die weiterführende Regelschule: Eine dokumentarische Längsschnittstudie aus Kindersicht (Studien zur Schul- und Bildungsforschung #90)
by Anca Leuthold-WerginIn dieser Studie wird der Übergang von der reformpädagogischen Grundschule in die weiterführende Regelschule in einem qualitativen Längsschnitt untersucht. Einmal vor und zweimal nach dem Wechsel an die Regelschule wurden Kinder interviewt, die diesen Übergang vollziehen. Eine schulaffine Haltung ist den Beforschten gemeinsam. Im Hinblick darauf, welche schulischen Erwartungen, welche Erfahrung und Verarbeitung des Übergangs damit verbunden ist, zeigen sich in den drei Fällen, die den Kern der dokumentarischen Längsschnittanalyse bilden, unterschiedliche Fallgestalten.
Deron Goes to Nursery School
by Ifeoma OnyefuluDeron Goes to Nursery School is a title in the "First Experiences" series, a vivid new series portraying young children's very first experiences of nursery school, time with grandparents, and other events. The first time for anything can be daunting, and these books set out to familiarize children, through simple read-aloud words and beautiful photos, with what seems at first unfamiliar but will eventually become a routine part of everyday life. Set in and photographed in Ghana in West Africa, these beautiful books brilliantly capture these universal early childhood experiences from the relatively unusual and revealing perspective of a country in the developing world. In Deron Goes to Nursery School, Deron watches his mother make his new school clothes. The next day he goes with her to the school and meets his new teacher, who shows him around the school and introduces him to the other children. Playing, singing, writing, eating lunch, resting, and listening to a story are all part of Deron's exciting first day, and at the end he can't wait to go back tomorrow. Written and photographed by an award-winning author, this is a uniquely heart-warming book to share with all young children. Photographs have been removed.

Des Ecoles en mouvement
by Hermann Duchesne Nathalie BelangerFaire de la diversité une force constructive qui contribue à la compréhension mutuelle entre individus et entre groupes constitue actuellement un discours central des sociétés occidentales. En éducation, ce discours est repérable dans la pratique inclusive. Ce mouvement en faveur de l'inclusion de tous les élèves, quels que soient leurs attributs individuels ou caractéristiques personnelles, épouse cependant différents contours, génère différentes significations selon les contextes où il prend racine et évolue. Cet ouvrage examine la mise en oeuvre de ces discours en pratique. Les auteurs présentent, à partir d'une approche qualitative et d'outils d'enquête communs, des « écoles en mouvement », des écoles qui se veulent inclusives au Canada, en France, en Grande-Bretagne et en Italie, présentant une diversité de situations et d'exemples tirés de ces contextes divers. Cet ouvrage diffère des manuels qui présentent généralement ce que l'on doit faire et opte pour une investigation empirique qui permet de regarder ce que veut concrètement dire l'inclusion en milieu scolaire.

Desayuno en Central Park
by Ana Punset«Después de tanto esfuerzo ha llegado la hora de demostrar que estoy preparada para presentarme al mejor concurso para escritores jóvenes. De eso depende quedarme en Nueva York o tener que renunciar a todo. Sé que lo quiero con todas mis fuerzas, pero es el mayor reto al que me he enfrentado jamás.

Deschooling L�earning
by Michael Singh Bobby HarreveldDeschooling L'earning explores how recent reforms to young adults' senior secondary schooling have given rise to capital friendly learning-and-earning (l'earning) webs, reporting how leaders committed to deschooling have mobilised capability brokers to create l'earning networks. Illich's ideas are used to explain disenchantment with disengaging schooling, and neo-Weberian conceptions of the new spirit of capitalism are employed to deepen understanding of these reforms. Singh and Harreveld's analysis uses the idea of deschooling l'earning to ask whether these reforms build young adults' commitment to twenty-first-century modes of capital accumulation? Deschooling L'earning also gives insights into questions teacher education might ask about securing the future life/work trajectories of young adults, reassuring them that these reforms can serve the common good. These conceptual resources provide tools for corrective and transformative critiques that test government policies and practices for their adverse effects.

Deschooling as a Taboo Transgression: A Reconstructive Study of Justifications for the Familial Practice of Deschooling
by Tim BöderWith the realization of familial deschooling in Germany, the so-called social movement of the ,Freilerner’ transgresses a taboo and is therefore under enormous pressure to justify itself. Following on from this, the reconstructive study asks what latent structures of meaning underlie the subjective crisis scenarios about the schooling of children and the ideal concepts of parents in the sense-giving justification of the family deschooling practice. In the course of this, three types of the justification for the familial practice of deschooling, namely defending, charismatizing, and escaping, are empirically established. In this way, the study not only makes an empirically based contribution to a more reflective discourse on alternative educational practices, but also pushes itself into a taboo zone of school pedagogy and educational research in Germany. Because it addresses the school as a historically consolidated, but not as an organization without alternatives for learning and educational processes of children and adolescents.
Deschooling the Imagination: Critical Thought as Social Practice
by Eric J. Weiner"Deschooling the Imagination: Critical Thought as Social Practice" is, first, a book that looks at what it means to be actively engaged in developing a critical/creative mindset against the prevailing ideology of our public schools. Second, it is a book about the social/cultural relationship between what and how we learn on one hand and our imaginative capacities on the other. Finally, but equally important, it is a book about how teachers can teach in the service of a revived critical/creative imaginary. In short, you may be interested in reading this book if you are curious about examining the following questions in more depth: How can educators and those involved and/or invested in public education in the United States learn to think about curriculum, assessment, pedagogy, school structures, knowledge, power, identity, language/literacy, economics, creativity, human ecology, and our collective future in a way that escapes the over-determined discourses that inform current attitudes and practices of schooling? What are some of the tactics and strategies that teachers, students, parents, administrators, and policymakers can learn and enact in the service of a future that we can barely imagine?
Describing and Explaining Grammar and Vocabulary in ELT: Key Theories and Effective Practices (ESL & Applied Linguistics Professional Series)
by Dilin LiuLanguage description plays an important role in language learning/teaching because it often determines what specific language forms, features, and usages are taught and how. A good understanding of language description is vital for language teachers and material writers and should constitute an important part of their knowledge. This book provides a balanced treatment of both theory and practice. It focuses on some of the most important and challenging grammar and vocabulary usage questions. Using these questions as examples, it shows how theory can inform practice and how grammar and vocabulary description and explanation can be made more effective and engaging. Part I describes and evaluates the key linguistic theories on language description and teaching. Part II discusses and gives specific examples of how challenging grammar and vocabulary issues can be more effectively described and explained; each chapter focuses on one or more specific grammar and vocabulary. An annotated list of useful free online resources (online corpora and websites) for grammar and vocabulary learning and teaching, and a glossary provide helpful information.

The integration of serious games into the curriculum and subsequent performance and motivation outcomes are also presented.
Descriptive Geometry, The Spread of a Polytechnic Art: The Legacy of Gaspard Monge (International Studies in the History of Mathematics and its Teaching)
by Klaus Volkert Évelyne Barbin Marta MenghiniThis book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been favoured by the transfers of the model of the École Polytechnique to other countries. The book also covers the diffusion of its teaching from higher instruction to technical and secondary teaching. In relation to that, there is analysis of the role of the institution – similar but definitely not identical in the different countries – in the field under consideration. The book contains chapters focused on different countries, areas, and institutions, written by specialists of the history of the field. Insights on descriptive geometry are provided in the context of the mathematical aspect, the aspect of teaching in particular to non-mathematicians, and the institutions themselves.
Descriptosaurus Grammar Companion Ages 9 to 12: A Language Toolkit and Support for Creative Writing
by Alison WilcoxDescriptosaurus Grammar Companion Ages 9 to 12 is a flexible grammar toolkit based on current research about effective strategies for teaching grammar tools and sentence construction (investigation, imitation, combining and expansion).

Chapters focus on four main points: Investigation Imitation Combining Expansion This Grammar Companion supports the main Descriptosaurus book and scaffolds students in their journey through the world of language. This essential resource will strengthen their language muscles and build confidence with sentence manipulation when revising their own texts, thus freeing their minds to think about the important issues of writing: content, audience and purpose, and organisation and structure.
