A feature of the book is the application of autoethnography as its underlying approach/method, in which contributors draw on their own lived experiences (of life, scholarship, and work) to investigate and reflect on...

The abundance of data and the rise of new quantitative and statistical techniques have led to a promising area: data analytics. In education and learning, big data analytics is being used to enhance the learning process, to evaluate efficiency, to improve feedback, and to enrich the learning experience. Integrating data from different institutions allows data-driven decision making and evaluation. This book shows a number of innovative applications of data analytics in primary, secondary, and tertiary education.

Like its predecessor, Dialects in Schools and Communities, this book illuminates major language-related issues that educational practitioners confront, such as responding to dialect related features in students speech and writing, teaching Standard English, teaching students about dialects, and distinguishing dialect difference from language disorders. It approaches these issues from a practical perspective rooted in sociolinguistic research, with a focus on the research base for accommodating dialect differences in schools. Expanded coverage includes research on teaching and...

ENDORSED BY GLOBAL CREATIVE LEADERS:

"Finding the right mentor is key. Their guidance can save you years of struggle. Ram's book is far and away the single best resource I've seen on the topic. It's not if you will buy this book... it's when."

- Chase Jarvis, Founder and CEO, CreativeLive

"Mentorship is an essential part of growing as a designer - and, really, as a human being - but it's not a topic that's well covered within design circles. Ram's book breaks this down in a way that is approachable for anyone, whether they're starting out in their career, developing...

This book explores the associations women make between everyday clothing and class status, and considers how women s own fashion practices, perceptions and tastes are informed and influenced by class positions. By exploring the notions of "dressing up" and "looking good," the book emphasizes important differences in women s notions of femininity, their understanding of public space and their buying criteria, and documents the important role mothers play in socializing daughters into classed practices and attitudes towards fashion. In doing so, Appleford restates the importance of class in...

Despite feedback's demonstratively positive effects on student performance, research on the specific components of successful feedback practice is in short supply. In Using Feedback to Improve Learning, Ruiz-Primo and Brookhart highlight real-world examples and provide critical characteristics of feedback strategies to affirm classroom feedback's positive effect on student learning. This how-to guide provides preservice and in-service teachers with empirically-supported techniques for using feedback as a part of formative assessment in the classroom.
