Within a clearly structured framework, it systematically shares the good practices of some forty institutions recognized by independent scholars for their improvements in teaching/learning, research, and service to offer examples and ideas for others to learn from and adapt. While the book focuses on assessment of the teaching mission, these same practices...

Developing Equitable Education Systems
by Mel Ainscow, Professor Alan Dyson, Sue Goldrick, and Mel West

As a result of their close involvement with a group of schools serving a predominantly working-class community over five years, th...

However, stepping outside an established discipline entails the danger of 'shallowness', even if the primary challenge was a 'deep' integration problem. Acceptance of new departures requires recognition and understanding of what is involved, and this depends, among other things, on the adopted nomenclatur...

As accountability in education has become an increasingly prominent topic, teacher preparation programs are being asked to provide credible evidence that their teacher candidates can impact student learning. Teacher Work Samples, first developed 30 years ago, have emerged as an effective method of quantifying the complex set of tasks that comprise effective teaching and documenting the effectiveness of preservice teachers' impact on student learning. Hilda Rosselli, Mark Girod, and Meredith Br...
