Engaging Minds: Learning and Teaching in a Complex World involves readers in a stimulating, informative, comprehensive exploration of teaching and learning. It prompts examinations of the complexities of learning, pedagogy, and schooling while refusing simplistic notions or unresolvable tensions that sometimes infuse popular debates. A variety of sophisticated, interactive pedagogical features and graphic displays draw readers into new ways of thinking about and responding to the ideas and information presented. Topics include: * the biological and social roots of perception; * historical and contemporary perspectives on learning; * emergent understandings of intelligence, creativity, and diversity; * complexities and contingencies of self concept; and * technology, its impact on cognition, and its place in schooling. In addition to conceptual reviews of these topics, the text provides elaborated descriptions of many specific teaching events, in different subject areas and at all age levels, followed by interpretations which include suggestions for teachers. Written by authors with over 60 years collective experience as teachers at all levels of formal education, Engaging Minds offers fresh and insightful perspectives on topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, assessment and evaluation, learner diversity, inclusivity, and technology. It will be of interest to undergraduate students in teacher education, experienced teachers, and graduate students. This is an ideal text for courses in curriculum and instruction, curriculum and learning theory, social foundations of education, human development, or an excellent companion volume for any subject-specific teaching methods course.

Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text

Writing With, Through, and Beyond the Text: An Ecology of Language elaborates an understanding of writing, its influences on our interpretations of experience and identity, and its potential for enabling individuals to learn about and connect to the world beyond themselves. Rather than considering writing a process, the author describes it as a system, an ecology that engages the individual in a variety of socially constituted and interacting systems. The book examines the pedagogical and curricular implications of this approach to writing, considering what it means to write and teach writing in ways that understand and acknowledge the ecological character of writing. This is an illuminating text for a wide audience of faculty, professionals, and graduate students in English, writing, education, and women's studies/feminist theory.

Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching

Engaging Minds: Cultures of Education and Practices of Teaching explores the diverse beliefs and practices that define the current landscape of formal education. The 3rd edition of this introduction to interdisciplinary studies of teaching and learning to teach is restructured around four prominent historical moments in formal education: Standardized Education, Authentic Education, Democratic Citizenship Education, Systemic Sustainability Education. These moments serve as the foci of the four sections of the book, each with three chapters dealing respectively with history, epistemology, and pedagogy within the moment. This structure makes it possible to read the book in two ways – either "horizontally" through the four in-depth treatments of the moments or "vertically" through coherent threads of history, epistemology, and pedagogy. Pedagogical features include suggestions for delving deeper to get at subtleties that can’t be simply stated or appreciated through reading alone, several strategies to highlight and distinguish important vocabulary in the text, and more than 150 key theorists and researchers included among the search terms and in the Influences section rather than a formal reference list.
