Cohen disentangles a morass of terminology to help the reader see what language strategies are and how they can enhance performance. Particular areas of research examined in the book include: - links between the use of task-specific strategies and language performance - how multilinguals verbalise their thoughts during language learning and use strategies that learners use in test-taking contexts In this fully revised and substantially rewritten second edition, every chapter has been reworked, with material either updated or replaced. Entirely new material has also been developed based on examples of specific strategies supplied by actual learners, mostly drawn from a website featuring these strategies in the learning of Spanish grammar.Strategies in Learning and Using a Second language will be an invaluable resource for language teachers and researchers, as well as for administrators of second language programmes and for students of applied linguistics.
Strategies to Promote Inclusive Practice
by Richard Rose Christina TilstoneThis book considers current issues in the development of policies to promote inclusive education for pupils with special educational needs. By examining issues from the perspective of individual pupils, schools, and local education authorities, it raises critical commentary on the ways forward for a co-ordinated approach to inclusion.Strategies to Promote Inclusive Practice draws upon the experience and expertise of teachers, policy makers, and researchers, who explore the many factors which need to be addressed in the development of a more inclusive education system. The authors explore the link between theoretical perspectives and the production of policy, as well as the potential for translating this into good classroom practice. They provide examples of approaches which have proved successful in enabling pupils to become better equipped to address the needs of a wide range of pupils. In considering the impact of recent policy, legislation, and research, the authors suggest that several models of inclusion may be necessary in order to become an inclusive education system.This book will be of interest to students, teachers, policy makers, and researchers, who are concerned to advance the debate on inclusion towards a more pragmatic approach to providing for all pupils with special needs. It is a companion text to Promoting Inclusive Practice edited by Christine Tilstone, Lani Florian and Richard Rose (RoutledgeFalmer, 1998), which was the joint winner of the 1999 TES/NASEN Academic Book Award.
Strategies to Support Children with Autism and Other Complex Needs: Resources for teachers, support staff and parents
by Christine MacintyreWorking with young children on the autistic spectrum and supporting them as they learn can be fascinating, challenging, often overwhelmingly difficult, but more than anything else, hugely rewarding.

These strategies are endorsed by academics who have monitored the children’s responses in communicating, pretending, playing, moving, and singing and describe how the children have responded positively over time. This book covers a variety of topics such as: The importance of play for enhancing learning for children with autism and other complex needs Evaluating different ways of developing communication Transferring learning from one environment to another to aid memorizing. Understanding the impact of sensory hypo and hyperactivity on children’s learning. Developing a ‘Theory of Mind’ The importance of movement, music and having fun Observation and assessment schedules are provided, along with clear and helpful evaluation forms which show staff in primary and early years settings how children on the autistic spectrum can be helped to make meaningful and encouraging progress. This text is an vital read for any practitioners working with children on the autistic spectrum or with complex learning difficulties.

Strategy in Action: How School Systems Can Support Powerful Learning and Teaching
by Elizabeth A. City Hall Beverly L Rachel E. CurtisHow can we systemically improve the quality of classroom instruction and the learning and achievement of students? In an era when isolated examples of excellence are not good enough, we need systems that support improvement and excellence for all. This book describes how systems can effectively engage in this complex, challenging, and crucial work. The authors explore three core competencies of high-performing school systems: (1) understanding what the work is—a deep understanding of the core business of facilitating learning, a vision of what that looks like, and an awareness of where the system is in relation to that vision; (2) knowing how to do the work—a theory of action for improving instruction, a focus on key strategies, and effective alignment of resources; and (3) building the individual and organizational “habits of mind” that foster continuous improvement. Each chapter includes examples that illustrate key concepts in action, questions to spur self-assessment in key areas of competence, and tools and resources for building capacity at different levels and stages of development.

Strategy, Value and Risk
by Jamie RogersThe surge of innovation in information technology at the end of the twentieth century reduced the cost of communications, which facilitated the globalization of the production and capital markets. Globalization has in turn spurred competition and consequently innovation. Sustainable competitive advantage is an increasingly difficult proposition in this environment, a fact which raises a number of issues for organizations: how to create and manage value, how to improve an organization's capabilities to respond and adapt, how to manage the effect of competition on industry structures and how to foster and manage innovation. In response to these issues one concept is having an impact and influence on organizations. Real options, a form of advanced financial analysis, apply financial options theory to real assets. The concept offers a framework that can link value to risk and uncertainty, and the ability to manage the strategic opportunities that lie in an increasingly dynamic environment. Updated and revised, this second edition illustrates the issues with detailed case studies.
Stray Dogs, Saints, and Saviors
by Alexander RussoThe inside story of the most-watched attempt to transform a troubled high schoolStray Dogs, Saints, and Saviors tells the real-life story of Locke High School. Locke High- originally known for its excellence-became one of the toughest, most dysfunctional schools in the nation. Then in 2007 teachers voted to bring in an upstart charter school organization called Green Dot to try and restore the Locke Saints' past glory. It was a brave and desperate move. Working in secrecy, the school principal, a small group of teachers, and Green Dot's charismatic founder, Steve Barr, convince Locke teachers to support a petition that will take the school away from the Los Angeles Unified School District. The "new" Locke opened in the fall of 2008.Offers an in-depth look at a school "turnaround" effort that garnered a blizzard of publicityRusso's blog This Week in Education was named by The Washington Post as one of its best education blogs of 2010Tells the gritty truth about the tough work of true school reformLocke's transformation shows that with hard work and sacrifice, broken schools can indeed be improved in meaningful ways. However, the process of school reform is one of the most vital, and least glamorous, projects that we can participate in.
Streaming: An Education System in Miniature (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by Brian JacksonIn this volume a streamed school is studied in detail and parents’ responses are recorded. Eleven plus is (and has been) under criticism, but many children are selected by a ‘seven plus’ because they are streamed into A, B or C classes. Few children escape the label once it is pinned on them – less than six in one hundred change their stream. The study shows that on a national sample the date on which a child is born – irrespective of his ability – affects his or her stream at the age of 7 and his results at eleven plus. Finally ten streamed schools are compared, academically and socially, with ten unstreamed schools. In the final chapters the author makes practical proposals by which primary schools could recognise and increase the flow of gifted children.

Streben nach Momentum: Musikkultur zwischen Marken und Medienplattformen (Musikwirtschafts- und Musikkulturforschung)
by Lorenz Grünewald-SchukallaSeit der industriellen Produktion von Notendrucken nutzen Unternehmen Musik, um ihre Marken zu entwickeln und zu etablieren. Diese Studie beleuchtet die vielfältigen Formen der Verbindung von Marken und Musik, von den gebrandeten Radioshows im frühen 20. Jahrhundert bis hin zu den modernen, integrierten Musik-Dachmarken von Red Bull, der Telekom oder Seat. Sie zeigt, wie die Beziehungen zwischen Marken und Musik im Verlauf der Geschichte verändert wurden. Dabei lenkt sie erstmals den Blick auf die Rolle neuer Medienentwicklungen in diesem Prozess. Anhand der innovativen Methode einer digitalen, fokussierten und verteilten Ethnographie wird die besondere Rolle digitaler Plattformen für gegenwärtige gebrandete Musikkultur in den Blick genommen. Der Autor zeigt anschaulich, wie Markenunternehmen Orte und Events so arrangieren, dass medienbezogene Praktiken auf Plattformen ausgerichtet werden. So steigern Unternehmen die Wahrscheinlichkeit gebrandeter Kommunikationsströme und erzeugen ein „Momentum“, das den Wert einer Marke, die Karrieren von Musikschaffenden, aber auch gewöhnliche Musikerfahrung beflügeln kann. In der Summe führt dies zu einer neuen Musikkultur, einer Musikkultur zwischen Marken und Medienplattformen. In dieser können zwar viele an Musikkultur teilhaben, sind jedoch dem Zwang ausgesetzt, etwas zum Momentum einer Marke beizutragen.
Street Data: A Next-Generation Model for Equity, Pedagogy, and School Transformation
by Shane Safir Jamila DuganRadically reimagine our ways of being, learning, and doing Education can be transformed if we eradicate our fixation on big data like standardized test scores as the supreme measure of equity and learning. Instead of the focus being on "fixing" and "filling" academic gaps, we must envision and rebuild the system from the student up—with classrooms, schools and systems built around students’ brilliance, cultural wealth, and intellectual potential. Street data reminds us that what is measurable is not the same as what is valuable and that data can be humanizing, liberatory and healing. By breaking down street data fundamentals: what it is, how to gather it, and how it can complement other forms of data to guide a school or district’s equity journey, Safir and Dugan offer an actionable framework for school transformation. Written for educators and policymakers, this book · Offers fresh ideas and innovative tools to apply immediately · Provides an asset-based model to help educators look for what’s right in our students and communities instead of seeking what’s wrong · Explores a different application of data, from its capacity to help us diagnose root causes of inequity, to its potential to transform learning, and its power to reshape adult culture Now is the time to take an antiracist stance, interrogate our assumptions about knowledge, measurement, and what really matters when it comes to educating young people.
