Understanding the Quality Use of Research Evidence in Education

What It Means to Use Research Well

By: Mark Rickinson,Lucas Walsh,Joanne Gleeson,Blake Cutler,Connie Cirkony,Mandy Salisbury

This book focuses on the question of how to understand quality use of research evidence in education, or what it means to use research evidence well. Internationally there are widespread efforts to increase the use of research evidence within educational policy and practice. Such efforts raise important questions about how we understand not just the quality of evidence, but also the quality of its use. To date, there has been wide-ranging debate about the former, but very little dialogue about the latter. Based on a five-year study with schools and school systems in Australia, this book sheds new light on: why clarity about quality of use is critical to educational improvement; how quality use of research evidence can be framed in education; what using research well involves and looks like in practice; what quality research use means for individuals, organisations and systems; and what aspects of using research well still need to be better understood. This book will be an invaluable resource for professionals within and beyond education who want to better understand what using research evidence well means and involves and how it can be supported.

Peaceful Warrior

The Life of Ken Paul Lozada

By: Joanne Ehrich

Of those people who were once drawn to Ken Paul Lozada's sculpture garden in Half Moon Bay, California, trying to get a closer look at pieces of wood to which he has given a new life with shiny, undulating lines, cavernous abysses, and chiseled squares, many found their initial interest giving way to a sense of wanting to know more about their creator and author of "The Seven Treasures of Life." This biographical glimpse at this creator includes family photos spanning five generations and reveals that his arboreal creations are messengers about the sacred nature all humans possesses within. A near-death experience after a car accident left Ken, who spent many years in an orphanage, with a new understanding about the gift of life which he has since sought to share with others. He has surrendered to complete honesty and openness, while becoming a conveyor of truth. His gravity-defying fragments of wood become symbols of restoration as these once-majestic trees that have been discarded get a new lease on life. The book features the photography of Ken's sculptures by Pete Zivkov, Joanne Ehrich, and others.

Klassic Koalas

The Book of Valentines and Other Loves

By: Joanne Ehrich

Artist Querida DiGiovanni comes from a family of artists: her grandfather was a sculptor, her grandmother once his model. Querida finds her grandmother's old photo album, populated with images of the things she had loved most in life: her sculptor husband, the ocean, and the koala, captured in a series of photographs. Querida, whose name means "beloved" in Spanish, is inspired by the sweet faces of these kindly creatures to turn the treasure into a sketchbook about love, enhanced with quotations, and with letters once written by her British-descent admirer, Englishman Rowan Blair, who always signed his correspondences "RB." The letters detail his many travels abroad, with the desire to reconnect with his dearest. Worn parchment pages come to life with quotations and captions, didactic sketches containing hidden messages throughout, and the many faces of romance and life itself. The content spans six generations, beginning with daguerreotypes of her great-great-grandparents and concluding with sketches of friends; the overriding message is that love is eternal, transcending gender, race, even the earthly plane and time.Denis Sweeney, San Jose: "Klassic Koalas: The Book of Valentines and Other Loves captivated me in a similar way the Griffin and Sabine letters books did. As a guy, this feels a bit like reading through a girl's diary, except this time you know it isn't forbidden... ." Hue Tran, Castro Valley: "A fascinating collection of drawings, quotes and photographs inspired by love and imagination, Klassic Koalas: The Book of Valentines and Other Loves is a jewel... As each composition unfolds, it tells a story, pulls me in, makes me think, and fills my mind with wonders... .
