Accelerating Newcomer Literacy: An Integrated Writing Process Playbook for English Learners
by Eugenia KrimmelThis book supports educators in teaching academic writing skills to Newcomer English Learners (ELs) who are just beginning their English language learning journey.Newcomer ELs typically have minimal familiarity with the English alphabet, which can be an obstacle for them learning writing, phonics, and spelling in English. Drawing on research and classroom‑tested methods, this book provides teachers practical strategies to help Newcomers start writing earlier, mastering letter-sound correspondence, and gaining confidence to write their thoughts in English. Readers will learn how to seamlessly integrate EL-targeted strategies and personalized literacy instruction into writing workshops to accelerate Newcomer’s acquisition of English phonics, spelling, and writing skills. These adaptable strategies also benefit World Language teachers seeking effective ways to teach writing and literacy to beginners on any language learning journey.Built on the author’s instructional coaching expertise and observations of field testing by practicing teachers, this is an excellent resource for English as a Second Language (ESL) educators and instructional coaches to promote faster and better literacy acquisition for their Newcomers and other beginner language learners.
Accessible Assessment and Pedagogies: Improving Student Outcomes Through Inclusive Practice
by Linda J. Graham Jill WillisThis book is an evidence-based, practical guide to enable pre- and in-service teachers, system, school, and middle leaders to maximise students’ understanding of classroom teaching and assessment, improving outcomes and expanding opportunities for all students.Developing accessible assessment and pedagogy is especially critical when students have language and/or attentional difficulties; what if there were some simple things schools could do to make learning and assessment easier for all students to understand, from the outset? This book presents robust evidence from world-leading collaborative research in three large secondary schools that proactively designing classroom instruction and assessment for accessibility makes a positive difference for students and teachers. Evidence from eye-tracking technology, classroom observations, questionnaires and interviews with students and teachers, and summative assessment results points to what can change and why these changes are important. Written in the same plain language and humour as its best-selling sister, Inclusive Education for the 21st Century: Theory, Policy and Practice, this new book explains accessibility and why it matters and details processes for designing out barriers in summative assessment and pedagogy. Stories from partner schools about how they spread these gains across the whole school make this an accessibility playbook to drive whole school and system reform.Teachers, heads of department, principals, speech pathologists, and other professionals will find this text a rich source of professional learning for individuals and teams with discussion prompts for leaders and teachers at the end of each chapter.

Achieving Sustainable Highway Infrastructure in Developing Countries: Creating a Viable Public-Private Partnership Model
by Isaac AbiodunThis book investigates the challenges being experienced in the traditional procurement methods for road infrastructure in developing countries and explores the features of Public Private Partnerships (PPP) as an alternative procurement method with the potential of achieving a more sustainable highway network in Nigeria and other developing countries of Africa.The book starts with an investigation into the challenges of traditional Design Bid Build (DBB) procurement methods before examining the features of PPP and its potentials as an alternative procurement method for highway development, operation and maintenance, including developing and validating a PPP framework and model for application in the sustainable development and construction of highways. The PPP model developed from the study is expected to enhance decision making in the choice between the DBB and PPP methods during project planning and procurement stages. The author has developed a simple framework, illustrated in a single pictorial display the interconnected relationships, the performances of both the procurement methods, and the possible enhancement of the DBB method and the implementation procedure of the PPP method for sustainable highway infrastructure in developing countries.The framework developed and explained in this book will be of benefit to infrastructure leaders and policy makers, regulators, operators, maintenance agencies and contractors in developing countries and researchers and academics studying infrastructure procurement and delivery methods.

Activating Arts to Understand Disability in Africa: Inclusive Explanations (Interdisciplinary Disability Studies)
by Elvis Imafidon Kobus Moolman Charlotte Baker Emelda Ngufor SambaWhile Disability Studies has become more diversified in recent years, contemporary debates still favour the Northern Hemisphere, ignoring the lived experience of disabled people in much of the global South. Few theoretical studies pay sufficient attention to the range of beliefs and attitudes towards disability in specific African contexts, despite the fact that beliefs and explanations for disability permeate daily existence in sub-Saharan African places, and can have real consequences for persons with disabilities, leading to stigmatisation, marginalisation, and even violence.This volume is a timely intervention that seeks to address some of these imbalances and biases. Through frank life writing, evocative poetry, and critical reflections on African arts and literatures, the contributors highlight the urgent need for more culturally informed understandings of disability, as a means by which to challenge existing explanations. They examine the powerful role of different creative forms, tools, and methodologies in enhancing understandings of disability in African contexts.Demonstrating the power of cultural representation in building sensitivity to the range of issues related to disability, this book is of key relevance not just to scholars and students of disability studies, African studies, and sociology, but to all who seek to advocate for social change.The volume is a key outcome of the Disability and Inclusion Africa Network. It is edited by Charlotte Baker (Lancaster University, UK), Elvis Imafidon (SOAS, University of London, UK), Kobus Moolman (University of the Western Cape, South Africa), and Emelda Ngufor Samba (University of Yaoundé 1, Cameroon).
