Uncertainty surrounds our schools, including lack of funding for teaching materials, book shortages for school libraries, and cuts for resource staff. Many schools are opening with unfilled teaching positions and teachers who are on staff find they have larger classes. This book offers practical ways to organize students so teachers can support those that require extra help as well as show how they can maintain their agency and meet the learning needs of a diverse group. The book includes formative assessments, examples of teaching strategies and lesson plans, teaching tips, self-assessment forms for teachers and students, reflection questions, and literacy snapshots where you can observe how teachers of different grade levels use a strategy or teaching technique with students. With a focus on collaborative student learning and collective teacher efficacy (CTE), the book is full of concrete ideas and strategies to help teachers build a community of learners through the challenges they may face.

This is a key resource for any elementary and middle school teachers, new or experienced, as well as administrators, coaches, and resource teachers.

Part of the ground-breaking series Key Thinkers in English in Education and the Language Arts, this text focuses on the work of British curriculum theorist, John Dixon. Regarded widely as the de facto 'father' of the influential 'Growth' model of English, this book accessibly presents Dixon as a much broader thinker around the nature of subject English, and, in particular, as a key theorist around writing and literary response. By concentrating on three major book publications and a number of seminal research-based booklets throughout the late 20th century, the author provides readers with an influential overview on Dixon's work as a major curriculum thinker, which will be of interest to scholars in the fields of teacher education, English Education and curriculum studies around the world.

On the one hand AI is hailed as a driver of unprecedented progress, with the potential to alleviate poverty, expand access to education, and improve healthcare outcomes, and on the other, critics highlight risks such as bias, surveillance, erosion of accountability, and even the possibility of autonomous systems escaping human control. Some argue that current AI systems are far less "intelligent" than the label suggests, lacking consciousness or intentionality, and are therefore better understood as powerful but limited tools. Others emphasize the dangers of delegating critical decisions to opaque algorithms, especially in domains such as justice, warfare, or mental health. These divergent perspectives point to a shared recognition: AI cannot be addressed solely as a technical matter but must be evaluated within moral, legal, and political frameworks.

In this sense, the key questions are normative: What duties and responsibilities should guide the creation and deployment of AI systems? How can risks such as discrimination, loss of privacy, or democratic erosion be mitigated? And what forms of governance are required to ensure accountability? This book takes up these challenges by examining AI through an interdisciplinary lens, highlighting its promises, its dangers, and the ethical, legal, and political structures necessary to use it responsibly.

Ewer examines how British politics shaped the development of aviation in the first half of the twentieth century. He challenges narratives of simple technological failure or national decline, showing instead that aviation outcomes were shaped by political institutions, policy traditions and cultural assumptions about the relationship between the state, industry and technology.

Drawing on extensive archival research, the book charts the development of British aviation through the policies of successive governments. It examines the application of Liberal rationalism to a new technology before 1914, Conservative approaches to protection and industrial management in the inter-war years, and Labour's commitment to planning and public ownership during and after the Second World War. Across these political frameworks, it analyses aircraft production, aero-engine development, civil air transport and military doctrine, alongside the institutions that governed them, including the Air Ministry, the Royal Air Force and civilian departments. Particular attention is given to procurement practices, industrial organisation and the management of innovation. Case studies include the Schneider Trophy races, the Empire Air Mail Scheme, Fighter and Bomber Command, gas turbine policy and the Brabazon programme.

This work is a valuable piece of scholarship for researchers and students of aviation history, political economy, and science and technology studies, as well as readers concerned with industrial policy. By linking technological outcomes with political decision-making, it offers insights for policymakers, which are relevant to contemporary debates about how liberal democracies manage complex, high-technology industries.

This comprehensive study explores Francoise Dolto's revolutionary theory that language acquisition begins in utero through precocious audition, revealing how unconscious affect and invested sound patterns shape early mental-emotional development and lifelong associative thinking.

Kathleen Saint-Onge demonstrates how generative echoes facilitate self-regulation and scaffold infant development. The book provides psychoanalysts with new theoretical frameworks connecting Freudian concepts of unconscious processes, dreamwork, and the transference to prenatal language acquisition. Readers will gain insights into how interrelational 'common objects' of familiar soundscapes become unconsciously securing, as affect bootstraps human learning and collaboration. Saint-Onge offers practical applications for understanding the role of the mother tongue in identity formation and the risks inherent in artificial versus natural language environments.

An illuminating read for psychoanalysts, researchers and theorists seeking to expand their understanding of early infant development and unconscious processes alike, this book will particularly appeal to Freudians interested in new applications of classical psychoanalytic theory, specialists in French psychoanalysis, and clinicians working with those experiencing language-related trauma and identity issues.

This edited collection showcases the usefulness of symbolic interactionism in examining concurrent social issues which demand researchers' attention - symbolic interactionists demonstrate their roots in pragmatism by examining contemporary social issues, mental health, gun control and the homeless. Although these issues have been around for quite some time, recent changes in social, political, and economic landscapes have escalated the significance of these issues in everyday life.

While these issues have traditionally been examined using a quantitatively "big data" approach, authors here illustrate the usefulness of utilizing the symbolic interactionist methodology, an empirical endeavor that keys on micro interactional developments, in providing understandings of these social issues. Theoretically, chapters showcase the utility of symbolic interactionism, a perspective for investigating the meanings of objects, social relationships, and how objects become linked to social structures, in providing significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge of these social issues. Stressing the importance of examining mental health, gun control and the homeless as social constructs that involve social relationships and communication processes of actors in various structures, the authors utilize theoretical concepts such as reflexivity, interaction, and willfulness as pivot points in analyzing these social issues.

Calling for researchers' attention to study urgent social issues by demonstrating the effectiveness of symbolic interactionism as a research tool both theoretically and methodologically, this is appealing reading for both emerging and established interactionist scholars.

This book compiles and explains the key terms and core concepts related to memory in an easy-to-navigate A-Z format.

The quest to understand how memory works and how it fails remains a cornerstone of both Psychology and Neuroscience; however, defining memory is not easy. At a higher level, memory is sometimes seen as a psychological function for the preservation of information, while other definitions focus on remembering. In this innovative book, John P. Aggleton delves into the many definitions and attributes that constitute memory and guides the reader through over 160 entries ranging from Aging to Repression; Dementia to Working Memory. Each entry explores the various psychological and biological elements of memory and includes recommended further reading and cross-referencing.

This guide will serve as an overview and introductory resource for students and scholars involved in memory studies and memory research, as well as practitioners working with sufferers of memory disorders. It will also be of great interest to anyone interested in the utterly remarkable memory skills we all possess.

Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma offers a sociopolitical account of trauma grounded in the lived experiences of oppressed and socially disadvantaged peoples. In doing so, this book seeks to articulate a theory of trauma that generates space for the recognition of historical and ongoing political violence, the collective healing of harmed people, and the bridging of psychological theories with social justice scholarship and activist traditions.

Ordinary and Presumptive Trauma is uniquely situated at the crossroads of two worlds that often struggle to coexist, but that have the potential to grow significantly in conversation with one another. Accordingly, this book provides a multifaceted approach that appeals to a wide readership in multiple disciplines, such as psychology, Women's and Gender Studies, Ethnic Studies, Queer Studies, and more.
