Empowerment Evaluation Principles in Practice
by David FettermanWhat principles should guide an empowerment evaluation? And how can these principles actually be put into practice? One of the primary tasks in an empowerment evaluation (EE) is to increase the capacity of program stakeholders to plan, implement, and evaluate their own programs. This book presents the most current formulation of the 10 principles of EE and provides professionals and students with the tools to put these principles into practice. Through case studies of diverse evaluation projects--including community health foundation initiatives, school district programs, and a $15 million corporate program aimed at bridging the digital divide--the founder and leading proponents of EE clarify key concepts and discuss important lessons learned. Coverage includes how to balance program improvement efforts with accountability requirements; how EE can be used to guide standards-based work; how to use EE in a learning organization; the differences among empowerment, collaborative, and participatory evaluation; and much more.

Empowerment for Teaching Excellence Through Virtuous Agency (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Hennie LötterThis books offers new ways to think about teaching excellence in higher education and presents a definition of the concept of teaching excellence. It offers a fresh interpretation of Boyer’s famous account of scholarship as the foundation of university teaching. To fully understand the nature of teaching excellence in higher education, the book gives an account of the various dimensions of the domain of university teaching and the core drivers required to bring those domains to life. The idea of empowerment underlies the journey to excellence in teaching. The book argues that university lecturers aspiring to become excellent should be active agents, strongly pursuing the development of their perfectible abilities required for high quality teaching. The work draws on recent developments in virtue theory to set out the qualities of character requisite for guiding and driving university lecturers to grow and develop into excellent teachers.

En Comunidad: Lessons For Centering The Voices And Experiences Of Bilingual Latinx Students
by Carla Espana Luz Yadira HerreraDrs. Carla Espana and Luz Yadira Herrera's schooling and teaching journey reveal the power of educators to create either liberating or dehumanizing spaces and experiences for bilingual Latinx students. En Comunidad brings bilingual Latinx students' perspectives to the center of our classrooms. Its culturally and linguistically sustaining lessons begin with a study of language practices in students' lives and texts, helping both children and teachers think about their ideas on language. These lessons then lay out a path for students' and families' storytelling, a critical analysis of historical narratives impacting current realities, ways to develop a social justice stance, and the use of poetry in sustaining the community. As the largest group of bilinguals in the U.S., bilingual Latinx students need teachers to not just welcome them into their classrooms, but also to advocate with and for them, for their languages, and for their lives. En Comunidad offers classroom-ready lessons that amplify the varied stories and identities of Latinx children. Each sequence of lessons follows a critical bilingual literacies framework for any educator teaching bilingual Latinx children and: - focuses on issues of language, literacies, and power - recommends carefully-curated texts and multimodal resources featuring Latinx voices - centers a translanguaging pedagogy that honors bilingual Latinx students' language practices. "In this book, Espana and Herrera treat seriously the idea that the cultural and linguistic practices of Latinx children are legitimate and should be made central to their educational experiences. It is a must-read for all educators who work with Latinx students." -Nelson Flores, Ph.D., Penn Graduate School of Education

En defensa de Jesús: Investigando los ataques sobre la identidad de Cristo
by Lee Strobel¿Cuál es la verdad acerca de Jesús?Hoy, la imagen tradicional de Jesús está bajo un ataque intelectual de eruditos críticos, historiadores populares, documentales de televisión, películas de Hollywood, autores exitosos, blogueros y grupos de pensamiento ateos. Están cautivando la imaginación del público con un nuevo retrato radical de Jesús que tiene muy poca semejanza con la imagen históricamente aceptada por la Iglesia.¿Cuán convincente es esta nueva imagen de Jesús? ¿Está basada en hechos y argumentos bien fundamentados? O, ¿se desvanece cuando es expuesta a la luz candente del escrutinio? En esta investigación dramática, Lee Strobel, el galardonado autor y exeditor legal, explora preguntas polémicas como:• ¿Suprimió el cristianismo «evangelios alternativos» que describen a Jesús de forma más precisa que el Nuevo Testamento?• ¿Distorsionó la iglesia la verdad acerca de Jesús mediante la manipulación de textos bíblicos primitivos?• ¿Las nuevas ideas y explicaciones han desmentido finalmente la resurrección?• ¿Las creencias esenciales acerca de Jesús fueron tomadas de la mitología antigua?• ¿Las nuevas objeciones han descalificado a Jesús de ser el Mesías?Evalúa las pruebas tú mismo mientras los expertos se enfrentan a las últimas objeciones de los críticos más relevantes de la actualidad. Y luego llega a tu propio veredicto en el caso del Jesús verdadero.

Enabling Children's Learning Through Drawing
by Fred SedgwickAt the heart of this book is an emphasis on helping children to learn about themselves, their world and their relationships, through drawing. It also shows how teachers can use drawing as an in road into art, language, literacy, and other aspects of the curriculum; how children can improve their writing through drawing, concentrating on draftsmanship, the lines of letters, words and sentences; and how children can improve the quality of their drawing; with four basic rules that have been proven to raise standards throughout school. Based on case studies of children from six to eleven years of age, this passionately written book draws inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbooks and from Nigerian art to show how children can learn more effectively through the medium of drawing.
Enabling Critical Pedagogy in Higher Education (Critical Practice in Higher Education)
by Mike Seal Alan SmithAn introduction to critical pedagogy for all those working within higher education.Critical Pedagogy is an approach that is fundamentally democratic, informal, non-hierarchical, determined by participants, privileges the oppressed and their perspectives and is committed to action. Higher education (HE), conversely, is often un-democratic, formal, hierarchical, determined by tutors and national bodies, re-inscribes existing privileges and is distant from lived experience. The book starts from the premise that critical pedagogies are possible in HE, while recognising the tensions to be ameliorated in trying to enact them. It re-examines the concept and explores its practical application at an institutional level, within the curriculum, within assessment, through learning and teaching and in the spaces in-between. The Critical Practice in Higher Education series provides a scholarly and practical entry point for academics into key areas of higher education practice. Each book in the series explores an individual topic in depth, providing an overview in relation to current thinking and practice, informed by recent research. The series will be of interest to those engaged in the study of higher education, those involved in leading learning and teaching or working in academic development, and individuals seeking to explore particular topics of professional interest. Through critical engagement, this series aims to promote an expanded notion of being an academic – connecting research, teaching, scholarship, community engagement and leadership – while developing confidence and authority.
Enabling Mathematics Learning of Struggling Students (Research in Mathematics Education)
by Yan Ping Xin Ron Tzur Helen ThoulessThis book provides prospective and practicing teachers with research insights into the mathematical difficulties of students with learning disabilities and classroom practices that address these difficulties.

The research-based volume presents a unique collaboration among researchers in special education, psychology, and mathematics education from around the world. It reflects an ongoing work by members of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) and the North American Chapter of the PME Working Groups. The authors of chapters in this book, who have been collaborating extensively over the past 7 years, are from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Enabling Students in Mathematics
by Marshall GordonThis book addresses the cognitive, social, and psychological dimensions that shape students' mathematics experience to help students become more capable, cooperative, and confident in the process of engaging mathematics. In these ways they can have a more valuable and enjoyable mathematics experience, and become more valued participants in society. The book focuses on the mathematics classroom for students grades six to twelve and how students can become more successful mathematical thinkers, in addition to how the curriculum could be presented so as to provide a more engaging mathematics experience.
Enabling University
by Tara BrabazonThis work takes the most recent, interdisciplinary research and demonstrates how to make higher education institutions open, accessible and socially just for staff and students with disabilities. Combining the scholarly fields of media platform management, information literacy, internet studies, mobility studies and disability studies, this book offers a guide and method to consider how students and staff with differing needs move through university processes, spaces and interfaces. It captures the challenges and potentials of both the online and offline university. The key concept of the book is universal design. This term and theory is used to move beyond the medical and social model of disability that disconnect and separate the issues of disability and impairment from core societal concerns. This book confirms that most of us will be touched by impairment through our lives. When matched with the necessity to retrain and gain new skills for a post-recession future, there must be a renewed commitment to not only the widening participation agenda of higher education, but also the enabling of universities for men and women with impairments.
Enacted Personal Professional Learning: Re-thinking Teacher Expertise with Story-telling and Problematics
by Carmel PattersonThis book offers a vital new approach to teacher professional learning, drawing on teachers’ stories from the field. It investigates expert teachers’ professional learning and uses a narrative framework to analyse their meaning-making processes. The book focuses on how proficient teachers develop their expertise, emphasising that individual needs and the contextual nature of learning require a personally enacted approach. Further, it explores the stories of five secondary school teachers, nominated by their colleagues for their outstanding expertise, to present new insights into expert teachers’ views. Using a new evidence-based approach, Enacted Personal Professional Learning, it incorporates teachers’ unique perspectives, problems and thought processes in order to understand expert teachers’ learning, and offers essential principles for promoting storytelling to help teachers be or become empowered educators who can actively shape education communities for teacher professional learning.
Enacting Equitable Global Citizenship Education in Schools: Lessons from Dialogue between Research and Practice (Critical Global Citizenship Education)
by Sarah Lillo Kang Shona McIntoshOffering contributions and vignettes from teachers, school leaders, and scholars, this volume purposefully dismantles practitioner-academic divides to invite dialogue around diverse understandings of global citizenship education (GCE). Recognizing that the field of GCE is often explored and conceptualized by educators and academics in silos, this book confronts this issue by focusing on how schools, educators, and researchers can together support the enactment of GCE in international and national settings. In doing so, issues of westernization, inequality, access, and divergence between GCE policy and practical implementation can be overcome. The novel dialogical format links together theory, practice, and lived experience to create discourses between voices that are rarely connected. Ultimately, this volume offers important insights for those aiming to make equitable GCE a reality in schools worldwide and illustrates the value of collaborative dialogic exchange. This text will benefit scholars, academics, and students in the fields of international and comparative education, the sociology of education, and citizenship more broadly. Those involved with multicultural education policy and citizenship in the context of political sociology and social policy will also benefit from this volume.
