Establishing a Yearlong Teacher Residency: A Roadmap for Transforming Educator Preparation
by Christopher J. Sloan Sarah BealThis book outlines a model for a teacher residency and how to establish a yearlong residency within an educator preparation program. It describes the four-year experiences of stakeholders at Tarleton State University but can be used as a step-by-step guide, in whole or in part, to transforming teacher preparation at any university. After a brief description of the “traditional” clinical model and why a university may look to make a change, the book offers a roadmap for the entire process of moving to a residency model. The chapters provide detailed explanations of how to build mutually beneficial partnerships with school districts, utilize co-teaching models, and create revised roles for cooperating teachers, teacher-residents, university and district leaders, and site coordinators. Contributing authors also cover change processes (successes and failures), funding models, scaling, sustainability, data collection, and evidence of effectiveness. Based on Tarleton’s recognition as one of the fastest-scaling residency programs and most complete transformations to date, the tools presented offer any teacher prep program the opportunity to make the leap to a residency model. This resource is also ideal for school district leaders seeking guidance on building or enhancing existing partnerships with universities, and for in-service teachers interested in discovering new co-teaching models.
Establishing Academic Freedom
by Timothy Reese CainThe is this the book-length work addressing the development of academic freedom and the procedures designed to protect it from the 1915 founding of the AAUP and the AAC to their endorsement of the key document in the history of professorial rights and responsibilities, the 1940 Statement of Principles of Academic Freedom and Tenure.
Establishing an Experimental Community College in the United States: Challenges, Successes, and Implications for Higher Education (Routledge Research in Higher Education)
by Chet JordanThis text offers an in-depth case study of the development of an experimental community college established by City University of New York with the aim of increasing two-year completion rates. By detailing academic and administrative reforms undertaken at Guttman Community College since 2007, the text illustrates the implementation of innovative practices in developmental education, advising, and experiential education and offers critical commentary on why reforms failed to bring the expected results. In a series of comprehensive and insightful chapters, Jordan maps the process of implementation and reform at Guttman Community College. In doing so, he explores the shortcomings of the Guttman enterprise, and offers in-depth analysis of the causes and implications of a failure to account for the local context and student population in planning and implementation phases. This unique, historical narrative thus offers important insights into pitfalls and best practices around issues of racial inequity, governance and leadership, curriculum development, student support services, and data-driven decision making. Each chapter concludes with a section focusing specifically on implications for the post-secondary system more broadly to inform effective, appropriate, and inclusive college reform. This book will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers exploring the history and governance of postsecondary education in the United States, as well as academic administrators, faculty, and policymakers. Jordan speaks to the myriad lessons that can be valuable for a higher education landscape that is hungry for innovation and reform.

Establishing Scientific Classroom Discourse Communities: Multiple Voices of Teaching and Learning Research
by Randy Yerrick Wolff-Michael RothEstablishing Scientific Classroom Discourse Communities: Multiple Voices of Teaching and Learning Research is designed to encourage discussion of issues surrounding the reform of classroom science discourse among teachers, teacher educators, and researchers. The contributors--some of the top educational researchers, linguists, and science educators in the world--represent a variety of perspectives pertaining to teaching, assessment, research, learning, and reform. As a whole the book explores the variety, complexity, and interconnectivity of issues associated with changing classroom learning communities and transforming science classroom discourse to be more representative of the discourse of scientific communities. The intent is to expand debate among educators regarding what constitutes exemplary scientific speaking, thinking, and acting. This book is unparalleled in discussing current reform issues from sociolinguistic and sociocultural perspectives. The need for a revised perspective on enduring science teaching and learning issues is established and a theoretical framework and methodology for interpreting the critique of classroom and science discourses is presented. To model and scaffold this ongoing debate, each chapter is followed by a "metalogue" in which the chapter authors and volume editors critique the issues traversed in the chapter by opening up the neatly argued issues. These "metalogues" challenge, extend, and deepen the arguments made. Central questions addressed include: *Why is a sociolinguistic interpretation essential in examining science education reform? *What are key similarities and differences between classroom and scientific communities? *How can the utility of common knowledge and existing classroom discourse be balanced toward alternative outcomes? *What curricular issues are associated with transforming classroom talk? *What other perspectives can assist in creating multiple access to science through redefining classroom discourse? Whether this volume improves readers' science teaching, assists their research, or helps them to better prepare tomorrow's science teachers, the goal is to engage them in considering the challenges faced by educators as they navigate the seas of reform and strive to improve science education for all.
Establishing the Family-Friendly Campus: Models for Effective Practice
by Jaime Lester Margaret SalleeThe impact of changing demographics in higher education, and the importance of family-friendly policies, is well documented. There is an urgent need to keep PhDs in the higher education sector, to recruit talented scholars into academia, and retain them over the course of their academic careers. The key is instituting policies to enable all constituencies to balance work and personal responsibilities.This book covers the range of issues faced by all generations in academe, from PhD students, to the “sandwich generation” (those caring for children and aging parents simultaneously) through to older faculty and administrators. It addresses the causes for women faculty with children leaving the academy at a disproportionately higher rate than men, the conflicts women face between academic work and motherhood, and the difficulties they encounter in reentering the academy after having left the professoriate. In examining the need for family-friendly policies, this book documents the “best practices” currently in use at institutions across the United States. Each chapter highlights practices and programs from a variety of institutions and institutional types that address the needs of a more inclusive family-friendly campus and offers suggestions to others who are implementing similar change on their campuses. These examples provide context so that readers no longer have to develop practices in isolation, and without evidence of their effectiveness.The editors suggest that the most successful campuses are those that utilize a work-life systems framework to meet the needs of its employees. They also point to future growth trends, including expanding the focus from faculty and staff to incorporate all in the campus communityThis book offers guidance to department chairs, deans, faculty, administrators, and graduate students on setting a family-friendly agenda, and models for implementation.Contributors include: Emily Arms -- Kathleen Beauchesne -- Jill Bickett -- Sharon A.

Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes
by Patricia A. Cuff"Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes" is a summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education to explore the possibility of whether different professions can come together and whether a dialogue with society on professionalism is possible. Most of the 59 members making up the Global Forum were present at the workshop and engaged with outside participants in active dialogue around issues related to professionalism and how the different professions might work effectively together and with society in creating a social contract. The structure of the workshop involved large plenary discussions, facilitated table conversations, and small-group breakout sessions. In this way, the members - representing multiple sectors, countries, health professions, and educational associations - had numerous opportunities to share their own perspectives on transdisciplinary professionalism as well as hear the opinions of subject matter experts and the general public. Efforts to improve patient care and population health are traditional tenets of all the health professions, as is a focus on professionalism. But in a time of rapidly changing environments and evolving technologies, health professionals and those who train them are being challenged to work beyond their traditional comfort zones, often in teams. A new professionalism might be a mechanism for achieving improved health outcomes by applying a transdisciplinary professionalism throughout health care and wellness that emphasizes crossdisciplinary responsibilities and accountability. "Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes" discusses how shared understanding can be integrated into education and practice, ethical implications of and barriers to transdisciplinary professionalism, and the impact of an evolving professional context on patients, students, and others working within the health care system.

Esther
by Rose PublishingThe Queen Esther Pamphlet is an excellent overview of the story of Queen Esther in the Bible. Esther's story asks the important question: Where is God when things go wrong? It's easy to characterize Queen Esther as the lucky orphan girl who won the heart of the king. But in reality, she was a young woman with a tragic background and dangerous secret that could cost her life and the lives of her family. She was married to King Ahasuerus (King Xerxes) who destroyed peoples' lives on a whim and had a history of killing people close to him. Worse still, the king's favorite counselor and chief advisor, Haman, was a mortal enemy of Esther and Mordecai's family. Esther had to keep a low profile, keeping her secret, and hoping her enemy wouldn't make the connection. For Esther, life was unfair. But her story brings a message of hope to all who face trouble by showing how God works even through the fears and dangers. There can be happy endings in perilous times! This basic overview of Esther and the biblical and cultural insights is fantastic for a Queen Esther Bible study, Sunday school class, or small group discussion. 14 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 38 inches long.Queen Esther Gives Insights into the Life of EstherDetails about Queen Esther's Life *Summary of Esther's story: Her danger and her courage *Background on the biblical feast of Purim *Explanation of why the Jewish people were in Persia *Orphaned, raised by Mordecai.Details about Life in Ancient Persia 2500 Years Ago *Map of Persia and the entire Middle East at the Time of King Xerxes *Timeline of Key Events in Israel, Persia, Greece and Egypt During Esther's Lifetime *Intrigue in the Persian Court *Customs in Ancient Persia Details about The Cast of Characters in the Life of Esther *Spiritual parallels between the two banquets: The King's and Esther's *Hebrew/Persian meanings of Esther's name, as well as other key characters *Genealogy and Background of Each Key Character in the Story Esther is an outstanding close-up on one of the most fascinating stories in the Bible.

Estoy embarazada ¿Cómo sigue mi carrera profesional?: Estrategias para potenciar maternidad y trabajo
by Silvina PrekajacSilvina Prekajac propone que los hijos y los ascensos no son excluyentes, que la maternidad puede capitalizarse, y que empoderar el ejercicio de la profesión requiere de un proceso de profundo autoconocimiento por parte de la propia mujer y de un acompañamiento activo de las organizaciones. Estoy embarazada. ¿Y ahora qué va a pasar con mi carrera? Una de las profesionales de mi equipo me anunció que va a tener un hijo... ¡todo un tema! Vos ocupate de los chicos y de hacer las cosas de la casa, que yo me encargo de salir a trabajar. Frases que solemos escuchar en el cotidiano y que necesitan de abordajes actuales si queremos organizaciones actuales. Mucho se habla de la necesidad de ser diversos e inclusivos, y de que el contar con representatividad femenina en puestos jerárquicos hace a las organizaciones más eficientes y efectivas en un momento en que quienes no innoven y no se adapten a las nuevas reglas de juego que la cuarta revolución industrial trae consigo difícilmente logren sobrevivir y sostenerse en el tiempo. ¿Pero qué hay de lo que se hace en lo concreto para que las necesidades de la mujer tengan respuesta, y para que el dato según el cual solo un quince por ciento de ellas accede a puestos de decisión se revierta? La maternidad es una de las principales barreras para que los modelos de éxito de vidas integradas entre los intereses profesionales y personales que hoy demandan los futuros líderes tengan visibilidad. Ocho de cada diez ejecutivos así lo reconocen y siete de cada diez dicen que la igualdad de género no es una cuestión estratégica en las organizaciones donde se desempeñan. Es por eso que con este libro, Silvina Prekajac -directora fundadora de Giving Birth, la primera consultora de mentoreo de Argentina concebida para potenciar a las mujeres profesionales en su maternidad- aborda a la maternidad y a la inclusión de la mujer con la mirada de negocio que debe tener para que sea una prioridad en las organizaciones, brindando herramientas y soluciones tangibles con la idea de que siempre sea posible aspirar al máximo potencial de desarrollo profesional. Estas páginas están dirigidas a aquellas mujeres con ganas de ser madres y empoderarse en sus trabajos, o que ya lo han sido y quieren darle un giro a su carrera o a su maternidad, así como también a líderes de organizaciones interesados en incluir a la mujer en puestos de decisión y a hombres que, como futuros o actuales padres, tengan el interés de trabajar en equipo con sus parejas en pos del enriquecimiento mutuo.
