Rebuilding the Natural Environment, Grade 10: STEM Road Map for High School (STEM Road Map Curriculum Series)
by Carla C. Johnson Erin E. Peters-Burton Janet B. WaltonWhat if you could challenge your tenth graders to think about how innovation can make the world a better place for humans, while finding ways to sustain progress and conserve resources? With this volume in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can! Rebuilding the Natural Environment outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. Like the other volumes in the series, this book is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. This interdisciplinary, four-lesson module uses project- and problem-based learning to help students connect their existing knowledge about energy production and its effects on the natural environment to create innovations in renewable sources of energy based on research evidence. Working in teams, students will design an innovative way to meet society’s energy needs and develop a pitch to market their innovation, focusing on how the innovation will optimize human experiences while being mindful of the natural environment. To support this goal, students will do the following: • Understand several forms of renewable, sustainable energy sources. • Apply their understanding of how alternators are used to generate electricity in lab experiments, as well as explain how tools such as windmills and dams are used to operate them. • Describe how electricity is generated in photovoltaic cells. • Calculate the amount of electricity consumed by several household items and consider this consumption when determining the average monthly energy consumption of households around the world in comparison to U.S. households. • Understand how fossil fuels have been used in the production of electricity and the impact they have had on the world’s economy, humans’ quality of life, and the earth. • Identify several hindrances to the creation of new energy sources as well as ideas to counter them. • List several factors that can be used to motivate people from all walks of life to use renewable and sustainable energies. • Create a fictional company that uses renewable energies. The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, Rebuilding the Natural Environment can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.

Recent Advances in Technologies for Inclusive Well-Being: Virtual Patients, Gamification and Simulation (Intelligent Systems Reference Library #196)
by Lakhmi C. Jain Anthony Lewis Brooks Bill Kapralos Jane Tyerman Sheryl Brahman Amy NakajimaIn a time of ongoing pandemic when well-being is a priority this volume presents latest works across disciplines associated to Virtual Patients, Gamification and Simulation. Chapters herein present international perspectives with authors from around the globe contributing to this impactful third edition to the series following a 2014 Springer book on Technologies for Inclusive Well-Being and a 2017 Springer book Recent Advances in Technologies for Inclusive Well-Being. Digital technologies are pervasive in life and the contributions herein focus on specific attributes and situations, especially in training and treatment programmes spanning across ranges of diagnosis, conditions, ages, and targeted impacts. This volume purposefully does not cover all (even if that was possible) aspects on how virtual interactive space can align to statial computing, which in turn can align with related embodied entities (whatever the terms used e.g. Virtual, Augmented, Extended, Mixed Realities) along with AI, Deep Learning etc. It also doesn’t cover what some may refer to as ‘trendy terms’ such as 360 degree, video, WebXR, cryptocurrency, blockchain, virtual goods, AR museums, travel and teleportation…however, what is covered in this book, and the prior volumes it builds upon (as above), is a sharing and questioning of advancing technologies for inclusive well-being through research and practices from an avant-garde perspective.

Recent Education from Local Sources (Routledge Revivals)
by Malcolm SeaborneOriginally published in 1967, this book was intended to be of value to students of Education in two ways. Firstly, all such students were expected to know in broad outline the story of the development of our national education system in the previous 150 years. This book shows how these national events affected a number of schools in a particular locality. Their history was preserved in their physical structure, all too solid and long-lasting in many cases to be easily adapted to changing needs of the time; it was preserved also in minutes and log-books and other records that happen to survive. The second value of this book was that quite often students were asked to use these local records to re-create the story of a history of a school or group of schools. It was felt that we needed many more of these local investigations as a basis for a fuller and more vivid representation of this national development, and students’ accounts, if done with proper care, could make a useful contribution. Mr Seaborne’s book is a model and example of how this may have been done.

Reception and the classics
by Katherine Wasdin Pramit Chaudhuri Ayelet Haimson Lushkov William Brockliss William BRockliss Pramit Chaudhuri Ayelet Haimson LushkovThis collection brings together leading experts in a number of fields of the humanities to offer a new perspective on the classical tradition. Drawing on reception studies, philology and early modern studies, the essays explore the interaction between literary criticism and the multiple cultural contexts in which texts were produced, discovered, appropriated and translated. The intersection of Realpolitik and textual criticism, poetic and musical aesthetics, and authority and self-fashioning all come under scrutiny. The canonical Latin writers and their subsequent reception form the backbone of the volume, with a focus on the European Renaissance. It thus marks a reconnection between classical and early modern studies and the concomitant rapprochement of philological and cultural historical approaches to texts and other works of art. This book will be of interest to scholars in classics, Renaissance studies, comparative literature, English, Italian and art history.

Recess Battles: Playing, Fighting, and Storytelling
by Anna R. BeresinWinner of the Opie Prize from the Children’s Folklore Section of the American Folklore SocietyAs children wrestle with culture through their games, recess itself has become a battleground for the control of children's time. Based on dozens of interviews and the observation of over a thousand children in a racially integrated, working-class public school, Recess Battles is a moving reflection of urban childhood at the turn of the millennium. The book debunks myths about recess violence and challenges the notion that schoolyard play is a waste of time. The author videotaped and recorded children of the Mill School in Philadelphia from 1991 to 2004 and asked them to offer comments as they watched themselves at play. These sessions in Recess Battles raise questions about adult power and the changing frames of class, race, ethnicity, and gender. The grown-ups' clear misunderstanding of the complexity of children's play is contrasted with the richness of the children's folk traditions.Recess Battles is an ethnographic study of lighthearted games, a celebratory presentation of children's folklore and its conflicts, and a philosophical text concerning the ironies of everyday childhood. Rooted in video micro-ethnography and the traditions of theorists such as Bourdieu, Willis, and Bateson, Recess Battles is written for a lay audience with extensive academic footnotes. International scholar Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith contributes a foreword, and the children themselves illustrate the text with black and white paintings.

Rechnen lernen und Flexibilität entwickeln
by Elisabeth Rathgeb-Schnierer Charlotte RechtsteinerDieser Band thematisiert vielseitig und aspektreich das flexible Rechnen in der Grundschule. Die Notwendigkeit der Förderung flexibler Rechenkompetenzen im Mathematikunterricht der Grundschule ist unumstritten und über die Zielrichtung des Mathematiklernens besteht Konsens: Kinder sollen bei der Ablösung des zählenden Rechnens begleitet und zum flexiblen Rechnen herausgefordert werden. Was bedeutet dies aber konkret? Was verstehen wir unter flexiblem Rechnen und wie kann flexibles Rechnen im Sinne eines kumulativen Aufbaus über die gesamte Grundschulzeit bei Kindern mit verschiedenen Lernvoraussetzungen gefördert werden? Diesen Fragen wird im Buch nachgegangen: Im Vordergrund steht dabei das Ziel, die Thematik einerseits theoretisch detailliert aufzuarbeiten, andererseits sie im Hinblick auf Unterricht zu konkretisieren. Die theoretische Aufarbeitung beschäftigt sich zunächst mit dem Prozess des Rechnens und darauf aufbauend allgemein mit Überlegungen zum Rechnenlernen und zur Entwicklung von Flexibilität. Die unterrichtspraktischen Aktivitäten im Rahmen der Zahlenblickschulung beziehen sich vorwiegend auf die Klassen 1 bis 3, da der Schwerpunkt des flexiblen Rechnens im Bereich des Zahlenrechnens im Zahlenraum bis 1000 liegt. Zielgruppen dieses Buches sind sowohl Studierende, Referendare und Referendarinnen als auch Lehrerinnen und Lehrer der Primarstufe.
Rechoreographing Learning: Dance As a Way to Bridge the Mind-Body Divide in Education (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Sandra Cerny MintonThis book addresses the mind-body dichotomy in movement and dance. This book includes a description of the often-forgotten kinesthetic sense, body awareness, somatic practices, body-based way of thinking, mental imagery, nonverbal communication, human empathy, and symbol systems, what occurs in the brain during learning, and why and how movement and dance should be part of school curricula. This exploration arguers that becoming more aware of bodily sensations serves as a basis for knowing, communicating, learning, and teaching through movement and dance. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students interested in teaching methodology and for courses in physical education, dance, and education.
