Children, Language, and Literacy

Diverse Learners in Diverse Times

By: Celia Genishi,Anne Haas Dyson

Synopsis: In their new collaboration, Celia Genishi and Anne Haas Dyson celebrate the genius of young children as they learn language and literacy in the diverse contexts that surround them. Despite burgeoning sociocultural diversity, many early childhood classrooms (pre-K to grade 2) offer a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum, too often assessed by standardized tests. In contrast, the authors propose diversity as the new norm. They feature stories of children whose language learning is impossible to standardize, and they introduce teachers who do not follow scripts but observe, assess informally, respond to, and grow with their children. Among these children are rapid language learners and those who take their time to become speakers, readers, and writers at "child speed." All these learners, regardless of tempo, are often found within the language-rich contexts of play.

Ways of Studying Children

An Observation Manual for Early Childhood Teachers

By: Millie Almy,Celia Genishi

Since the publication of the widely used Ways of Studying Children in 1959, young children and education have experienced many new influences, including an increased emphasis on learning in the early years. Focusing on children under the age of eight, this enlarged edition analyzes theories and practices that have had an impact on the study of young children, such as the insights of Jean Piaget and the use of behavioral objectives.New applications of child study relevant to bilingual children, youngsters from diverse cultures, and handicapped children are provided. In a balanced way, the authors consider controversial questions of school records versus children's privacy, standardization and individual development, cognitive and emotional growth, excessive testing versus other ways of appraising progress. Up-to-date lists of suggested readings at the end of each chapter offer additional opportunities for learning and growth to experienced or beginning teachers.Reviewers praised Ways of Studying Children as practical and readable, valuable not only to teachers but also to supervisors, curriculum coordinators, parents, and others interested in education. The new edition adds special appeal for teachers in preschool programs, day-care centers, and kindergarten through second grade.The authors offer a detailed, caring perspective on individual child development that concentrates on the whole child. They are concerned not only with the study of young children, but also with the realities faced by early childhood teachers today. “The wisdom of child sense and teacher sense in this book, together with its comfortable style, will, of themselves, give it an abiding place on my shelf.” —From the Foreword by David Elkind

Learning to Teach Inclusively

Student Teachers' Classroom Inquiries

By: Celia Oyler

This book—co-authored by a teacher educator, a diverse group of five pre-service student teachers, and their student teaching supervisor—takes a unique, illuminating look at the experience of student teaching from the perspective of student teachers. It is premised on learning to teach as an inquiry process enriched by collaborative conversations. Readers are invited into student teachers’ dilemmas and decisions as they negotiate between their public school placements and their university-based coursework. Throughout the year of student teaching, the authors document their discussions and reflections about teaching in inclusive classrooms that shed light on the complex process of learning to teach and also offer insights into issues of teaching for equity. Each of the central chapters is written by an individual student teacher and tracks a specific question over the course of two semesters. Topics include: *contrasting models of inclusion and teachers’ differing orientations toward issues of community, difference, and normalcy; *how teachers foster peer relationships; *classroom management and discipline; *heterogeneous instruction; and *school-wide culture and systems that promote or mitigate against inclusion. A new perspective on what can be learned from student teaching is provided by the student teachers’ supervisor. In the concluding chapter, the teacher educators address the connections among the student teachers’ inquiries and offer an analysis from a disability studies/disability rights perspective on how inclusion fits into a social (rather than a medical) model of disability. All of the authors of this book seek to contribute to conversations that place advocacy, inquiry, contestation, and challenge at the center of the teacher’s role. This volume is their invitation to readers to join in a larger conversation about the challenges of, and necessity for, becoming inclusive teachers. Learning to Teach Inclusively is intended for inservice and preservice courses in elementary education, inclusion, and teacher research, and for field experience seminars. It is also suitable for graduate courses in teacher research, supervision, and research in teacher education.
