International Aid to Education

Francine Menashy

Partnerships are now pervasive in global education and development.

Immigrant-Origin Students in Community College

Carola Suárez-Orozco and

Olivia Osei-Twumasi

This volume is the first to concentrate specifically on the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of immigrant-origin students. Drawing on data from the Research on Immigrants in Community College Study, it looks at what colleges can do to better help this growing population of Americans succeed.

Katie O. Arosteguy, Alison Bright, and Brenda J. Rinard discuss the importance of developing teacher-writers. In this blog post, they share their thoughts on a rhetorical approach and reflection for fostering teacher-writers in pre-service teachers.

Recent Book Reviews

Teachers College Record reviews Improving Online Teacher Education: “Today’s educators are faced with the challenge of teaching successfully in online learning environments, and the challenge is often confounded by the plethora of new technologies that seem to emerge every day. Yet, whether they are new to online teaching or seeking to improve online teaching practices, educators often encounter a shortage of resources that offer systematic, practice-oriented, yet evidence-based help. Karchmer-Klein’s Improving Online Teacher Prep provides such help, especially at this time when education at all levels is transitioning online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Dear Christian,

Children today have greater access to information than at any point prior in human history, yet many states have not had any requirements for including media literacy education in the curriculum up until very recently. To meet this need, LAMBOOZLED! is an all-new, research-backed media literacy card game that teaches students the skills they need to spot fake news and misinformation.

Also this week: an interview with the author of Just Schools, a virtual event to mark Media Literacy Week, and books on cybersafety and digital literacy.

Be sure to use promo code OCTB2020 at checkout for 15% OFF plus FREE SHIPPING!

Responding to current issues surrounding news credibility, this AERA award-winning card game will help young people (11+) sharpen their critical media literacy skills without partisan politics. This fun and engaging game teaches valuable strategies that teens can use to spot misinformation.

Upcoming Event

Digital Media and Learning

Covering everything from cybersafety to fake news, these are the resources educators can use to teach students media and information literacy for a rapidly changing world.

In the Media

Teachers College Record reviews Measuring Race, edited by Robert T. Teranishi, Bach Mai Dolly Nguyen, Cynthia M. Alcantar, Edward R. Curammeng: "[C]ontributing authors outline historical perspectives that contextualize contemporary framings that mask, invisibilize, and homogenize the unique experiences of racially minoritized populations in education. They also make a strong argument for using data disaggregation as a tool to disrupt traditional practices and to enable racially/ethnically diverse groups to strategically position themselves for more inclusive policies or to advocate for political aims. In a cohesive compilation of 12 chapters distributed in two parts, the volume presents perspectives on the experiences of racially minoritized students, including Asian American, Black, Latinx, Mixed race, Multiracial, Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students."

Ann Ishimaru, author of Just Schools, is interviewed by the Integrated Schools podcast on the role educational leadership plays in creating equitable learning environments for all kids, particularly those who have been historically marginalized in education. Listen here.

Dear Christian,

Teachers College Press expresses solidarity with all of those calling for social justice and an end to systemic racism, discrimination, and police violence. We grieve for the senseless murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, and so many of our Black neighbors, friends, and family. Dismantling the white supremacy that is so deeply embedded in our institutions, our policies, and our society is imperative.

Dismantling White Supremacy Includes Ending Racist Tests like the SAT and ACT

The Prospects for Just Schools in the Wake of COVID-19 Responses

By Ann Ishimaru

The pandemic has not only revealed but deepened racial injustices in our society. Black, Native, and Latinx communities have been hit disproportionately hard by coronavirus; many working class immigrants have been forced to remain in frontline labor or have lost their jobs; those without documentation live with limited access to healthcare, few governmental supports, and constant fear; incidents of anti-Asian racism have increased dramatically.

Book Reviews

Teachers College Record reviews Same as It Never Was: "In the book, [Michie] paints a picture of a school on the south side of Chicago where he became entrenched in the lives of the community. He dedicated himself to creating a classroom that gives hope to students. His story is one that is familiar to any teacher."

AASA School Administrator reviews An UnCommon Theory of School Change: "[The book] articulates clear behaviors to show leaders how and when they might work differently as they manage their most tangled dilemmas in the schools."

From the TC Press Instagram

Community and open access colleges support some of the most diverse learning communities there are. Felicia Darling writes about the unique challenge of supporting community college students in the time of a pandemic, how the needs of the community college students she instructs differ from the needs of four-year college students, and how instructors can play a critical role in times of upheaval.

Music By Nature and Nurture

By Gail Burnett, co-author, Enhancing Brain Development in Infants and Young Children

I grew up singing in the 60s. From as young as I can remember, my Mom plunked out music on the piano and we all belted songs from the famous musicals like Oklahoma, The Music Man and The King and I. We sang standards like Rodgers and Hart’s “My Funny Valentine” and George Gershwin’s “Our Love Is Here To Stay.” It didn’t matter how we sang or if we were “good.” My Mom has never considered herself a singer. But it didn’t matter. We just made music. It was part of our life. Read more

Getting More Bang for the Education Buck

By Frederick M. Hess and Brandon L. Wright

This spring, the nation was slammed by a pandemic that has thus far killed nearly 200,000 Americans, thrown millions out of work, shuttered schools, and upended the rhythms of teaching and learning. Only half of schools plan to offer any in-person instruction this fall and parents are turning to alternatives to traditional school. For all that’s changed, though, there’s at least one constant: School leaders demand more money and fiscal hawks insist that money won’t matter. Read more

Dear Christian,

"Covid-19 virus may not be challenging institutional inequity in the exact same way most typical campus uprisings do, but it is certainly exposing the inequities and inefficiencies in leadership." —from the blog post by TC Press author Ty-Ron M.O. Douglas (see below for full text).

In case you missed it: this week, Karen Gross spoke to the New England Journal of Higher Education about how coronavirus highlights the need for more trauma-informed professionals in higher education.

Dear Christian,

"One way teachers can make learning transformative is by selecting powerful content. Among other things, this involves selecting content with the potential to be ideas. Ideas are anticipatory. That is, they awaken anticipation and compel us toward action. They contain the seeds of wonder and the sublime." —from this week''s blog by Kevin J. Pugh, author of Transformative Science Education, who explains three design principles for transformative teaching.

Also this week: a recap of the Literacy Research Association''s annual meeting and virtual exhibit, a book talk on Teaching Hope and Resilience to Students Experiencing Trauma with Nancy Frey and Rachelle Savitz, new releases in literacy and multicultural education, book reviews, and more.

The Sterilization of Education: How Schools Practice the Pedagogy of Umbridge

By Kevin J. Pugh, author, Transformative Science Education

The pedagogy of Umbridge is based on this simple principle: the transformative power of education can be sterilized by teaching pure theory without a sustained focus on putting theory into practice. Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying theory is bad. Quite the contrary. Theory is extremely powerful. But when theory is taught in abstraction, we can’t translate into practice on our own. Instead, the abstraction becomes a substitute for real-world experiencing. Read more

Brain-Positive Ways to Improve Young Children’s Experiences

By Lena Lee, co-author, Enhancing Brain Development in Infants and Young Children

It is well known that a child’s first five years of early childhood are extremely critical for brain development. From my perspective, I believe that knowing how young children’s brains develop, how positively or negatively they change depending on environmental factors, and how we can provide brain-positive ways to improve young children’s meaningful experience is extremely important. Read more

In the Media

Donna Wilson, co-author of Five Big Ideas for Effective Teaching, speaks to Classroom Q&A with Larry Ferlazzo about how to help students develop intrinsic motivation to read: "Giving all students the opportunity to use multiple brain pathways in the reading classroom is a key to helping them develop the intrinsic motivation to read and improve throughout their school years. Effective teachers incorporate a variety of methods in their lessons to accommodate students with different interests, processing styles, and strengths."

Are we throwing good money after bad? Brandon Wright, co-author of Getting the Most Bang for the Education Buck, speaks to KERA''s Think podcast about the funding challenges public education faces in the wake of COVID-19. Listen here.

—Carrie Conaway, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Go with the Flow

By Alice Tesch Graham, Gia Anselmo Renaud, and Martha McCann Rose

In the field of special education, a common exhortation is, “Go with the flow.” In ordinary times, it has meant that the special educator should be calm, find inner peace. Special education can be stressful for all stakeholders, but patience and adaptability are effective, especially when everyone keeps the focus on the student with special needs.

So, what does "Go with the flow" mean for special educators in the fall of 2020? Read more

In the Media

Cybersafe Young Children co-author Merle Froschl has published a blog at the Family Online Safety Institute on what it means for young children to return to school during a pandemic: "Regardless of where you live, ''going back to school'' has an entirely different connotation this year. Whether in-school, a hybrid model or completely remote, technology (and cybersafety) will play a prominent role for teachers and parents alike. Online safety education and civility—once considered ''supplemental''—now need to be an integral part of the curriculum. And they need to begin at the earliest levels of education."

In AASA School Administrator, Carl Glickman and Ian Mette, co-authors of The Essential Renewal of America''s Schools, write about broadening civic education to connect participatory student learning to the wider world: "Rather than being told that students must test to the standards imposed by teachers, different generations are learning how to work next to each other side by side, to make their community more engaging and focused on how to improve a community jointly."

Anindya Kundu, author of The Power of Student Agency, delivers a keynote address to the LEAP innovatED Summit.

The Wabash Center Journal on Teaching reviews the third edition of Culturally Responsive Teaching by Geneva Gay: "Beginning with the assertion that the PreK–12 educational system as it exists now is inequitable, particularly for children of color, Gay demolishes the deficit-based models of achievement remediation, instead arguing for a more holistic appreciation for the gifts and strengths children from diverse cultural backgrounds bring to the classroom environment and how teachers can better prepare to act in culturally-responsive ways."
