New Titles
Second Language Learners in International Schools
By 2020 there will be more than 10,000 international schools with 5 million students. The authors argue for a model that does not assimilate to any political system; where motivation can come from areas other than wanting to belong to a specific culture; and where students can develop all their languages equitably while they learn the curriculum.
Knowledge in education
Why philosophy matters
In recent years ideas about education have polarized: on one side, those stressing facts and disciplines; on the other, those encouraging learners to make their own meaning. But through a fine-grained account of pedagogic practice and subject knowledge Jan Derry provide a means of reconfiguring the issue to transcend this simple opposition.
Personalizing Education
A person-centred approach for children with special educational needs
This book is about enabling children in school who have special needs to be equal partners in the team that determines their education plan, even very young children. Based on empirical research, it shows how person-centred reviews (PCRs) can, with careful and inclusive planning, secure the optimal outcomes for the child.
Homework
The evidence
Homework is controversial. Its pros and cons have been and continue to be debated by politicians, educators, parents and children. This new, fully revised and updated edition of Homework: The evidence provides an evidence base that can be used in future considerations of the role of homework in the lives of children and young people.
Examination Standards
How measures and meanings differ around the world
An international team of authorities in the field of standard setting discuss what standard setting is and should be. Their accounts of a representative selection of jurisdictions (Chile, England, France, Georgia, Ireland, Queensland, South Africa, Sweden, and the United States) are accompanied by lively critical commentaries from other experts in this domain. Together, the editors challenge the notion that there is a single superior way of thinking about national examinations, and instead encourage educators and policymakers to engage with the multiple perspectives offered here, and to consider carefully the complex issues raised.
International Perspectives on Alternative Education
Policy and practice
The book explores alternative forms of schooling from the position of academics, policy workers and those working and studying in such schools. Accounts of first-hand experience working and leading in alternative schools or at policy level across eight national contexts bring alive their strengths and the challenges that can arise.
Children’s Literature in a Multiliterate World
The International Board on Books for Young People, IBBY, presents a collection by 12 scholars of children's literature about outstanding stories and picture books that explore issues of identity, belonging and empathy in many parts of the world.
Hierarchy, Markets and Networks
Analysing the ‘self-improving school-led system’ agenda in England and the implications for schools
This report analyses how schools in England have interpreted and begun to respond to the government’s ‘self-improving school-led system’ (SISS) policy agenda. Based on a large-scale, four-year, mixed-methods study, the report asks whether SISS represent a genuine basis for an equitable and inclusive ‘school-led’ system.
Machine Learning and Human Intelligence
The future of education for the 21st century
Intelligence is at the heart of what makes us human, but we invest artificial intelligence (AI) with qualities it does not have. Rosemary Luckin proposes a way to understand the complexity of human intelligence, offering clear-sighted recommendations for how educators can draw on what AI does best to nurture and expand our human capabilities.
