A Maverick Boasian: The Life and Work of Alexander A. Goldenweiser (Critical Studies in the History of Anthropology)
by Sergei KanA Maverick Boasian explores the often contradictory life of Alexander Goldenweiser (1880–1940), a scholar considered by his contemporaries to be Franz Boas&’s most brilliant and most favored student. The story of his life and scholarship is complex and exciting as well as frustrating. Although Goldenweiser came to the United States from Russia as a young man, he spent the next forty years thinking of himself as a European intellectual who never felt entirely at home. A talented ethnographer, he developed excellent rapport with his Native American consultants but cut short his fieldwork due to lack of funds. An individualist and an anarchist in politics, he deeply resented having to compromise any of his ideas and freedoms for the sake of professional success. A charming man, he risked his career and family life to satisfy immediate needs and wants. A number of his books and papers on the relationship between anthropology and other social sciences helped foster an important interdisciplinary conversation that continued for decades after his death. For the first time, Sergei Kan brings together and examines all of Goldenweiser&’s published scholarly works, archival records, personal correspondences, nonacademic publications, and living memories from several of Goldenweiser&’s descendants. Goldenweiser attracted attention for his unique progressive views on such issues as race, antisemitism, immigration, education, pacifism, gender, and individual rights. His was a major voice in a chorus of progressive Boasians who applied the insights of their discipline to a variety of questions on the American public&’s mind. Many of the battles he fought are still with us today.

Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants: Guidance for school leaders and teachers
by Peter Blatchford Anthony Russell Rob WebsterTeaching assistants are an integral part of classroom life, yet pioneering research by the authors has shown schools are not making the most of this valued resource. Evidence shows the more support pupils receive from TAs, the less academic progress they made. Yet the reason for this has little to do with TAs. It is decisions made about them by school leaders and teachers that best explain this provocative finding. The fully updated second edition of this book draws on the experiences of schools that have put this guidance into action via the Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants programme. Revised to reflect the latest research evidence and changes within education, including the 2014 SEND Code of Practice, this book will help school leaders and teachers in primary and secondary settings to rethink the role, purpose and contribution of TAs, and add real value to what can be achieved in classrooms. Setting out a field-tested process, structured around a coherent and empirically sound conceptual framework, this book: helps school leaders review, reform and reenergise their TA workforce provides practical strategies to implement in the classroom illustrates key points with new case studies provides photocopiable templates and resources to support decision-making and action. Maximising the Impact of Teaching Assistants provides much-needed and evidence-informed guidance on how to unleash the huge potential of TAs, and is essential reading for all school leaders.

Maximizing Self-Reflections in the Classroom: Enhancing Learning for Students, Teachers, and Parents
by Ellen RichardWhat if we could guide children to self-reflect on their level of understanding, to learn what concepts they truly grasp and to identify those concepts with which they still struggle—before and after being assessed on these concepts? What if they could take this information and produce a plan to help themselves master material before an assessment? This practical book will enable you to work with students more effectively so they can evaluate their own levels of understanding, and determine strategies to get them from where they are academically to where they need to be. You’ll also find out how to involve families, since self-reflection works better when students, teachers, and families partner in the learning process. Appropriate for K-8 teachers and curriculum coordinators, the book is perfect for teamwide book studies and teacher training. Examples are included throughout, and the appendix tools can be downloaded for classroom use.
