Studying the Effectiveness of Teacher Education

Early Career Teachers in Diverse Settings

By: Diane Mayer,Mary Dixon,Jodie Kline,Alex Kostogriz,Julianne Moss,Leonie Rowan,Bernadette Walker-Gibbs,Simone White

This book provides an evidentiary basis for policy decisions regarding initial teacher education and beginning teaching and informs the design and delivery of teacher preparation programs. Based on a rigorous analysis of international literature and the policy context for teacher education globally, and assessing data generated through a longitudinal study conducted in Australia, it investigates the effectiveness of teacher education in preparing teachers for the variety of school settings in which they begin their teaching careers. Over four years, the Studying the Effectiveness of Teacher Education (SETE) project tracked roughly 5,000 recently graduated teachers and 1,000 school principals in Australia to capture workforce data and gauge graduate teachers’ and principals’ perceptions of their initial teacher education programs. This book offers a synthesis of the research findings and uses the SETE as a catalyst for innovative theorization of the effectiveness of teacher education.

Higher Education and Social Justice

The Transformative Potential of University Teaching and the Power of Educational Paradox

By: Leonie Rowan

This book demonstrates how the pedagogical decision making of university academics can be shaped by engagement with an educational philosophy known as “relationship-centred education”. Beginning with critical analysis of concepts such as student engagement, student satisfaction, and student-centred learning, the author goes on to investigate how literature relating to social justice challenges educators to consider these terms in particular ways. From this basis, the book explores the factors featuring in inclusive, respectful, diverse and student-centred environments. In analysing these factors, the author illuminates the perspectives of university teachers who struggle with the unique challenges of working in the academy; including an increasingly broad set of employment demands and narrower criteria for determining ‘impact’, all while retaining focus on the transformative potential of higher education. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of transformative learning, as well as social justice within higher education.

Life-span Development

Frameworks, Accounts and Strategies

By: Leonie Sugarman

This thorough revision of the highly successful first edition of Life-Span Development offers the reader a wide-ranging and thought provoking account of human development throughout the lifespan. The lifespan approach emphasises that development does not stop when we cease to be adolescents but goes on throughout adulthood and into old age. In initial chapters Leonie Sugarman outlines the issues surrounding the notion of development and how it can be studied, including reviews of the work of key theorists Erikson, Levinson and Gould. She goes on to consider the different ways in which the life course can be construed: as a series of age-related stages; as a cumulative sequence; as a series of developmental tasks; as a series of key life events and transitions or as a narrative construction which creates a sense of dynamic continuity. A final chapter looks at how people cope, the resources that are available and the theoretical and practical issues regarding interventions to assist them in the process. New to this edition is increased coverage of the topical issue of successful ageing and a new chapter on the increasingly popular narrative approach to lifespan development. This edition is also more student-friendly with exercises in self-reflection that encourage the reader to look at the development of their own lives or those of their current or future clients. Boxed material highlighting major theories and clarifying concepts is also included. This book will be invaluable for students of developmental and occupational psychology and professionals in the fields of health management, education and social work.

Inclusive Texts in the Primary Classroom

By: Leonie Rowan

As much as any society of people, Australians represent themselves as equals. Yet few Australians are able to fit the widely circulated myths about what is normal, valuable, and desirable in their society. This book enables teachers and their students to challenge the multiplicity of texts that combine to tell Australians who they are and who they should be, and to construct new, truly inclusive, texts in their place. The book concerns itself with three things: differences among people, and the responses to them; the cultural context, and the messages that it circulates about these differences; and education, and the contribution that teachers and schools make to the way students learn to think about the diversity of the society they are part of. The book is divided into the following chapters: Introduction: Educating Raoul and Rifka and Rita: Difference, Cultural Context and the Challenges of Education; (1) Interesting Times: Contemporary Contexts and Traditions in Difference and Schooling; (2) Making a Difference to Differences: The Key Principles of a Transformative Approach; (3) What Happens Next? Doing Transformative Analysis; (4) Pitfalls, Perils and Possibilities: Maximizing Transformative Potential; (5) Transformative Tracks: New Ways of Dealing with Difference; (6) Towards Transformative Classrooms; (7) Traditional Days in Different Ways: Creating Transformative Classroom Texts; and Conclusion: Transformative Analysis and Counternarratives: Other Days, Other Ways. Contains a glossary. (NKA)
