English language learners share a basic need—to engage, and be engaged, in meaningful mathematics. Through guiding principles and instructional tools, together with classroom vignettes and video clips, this book shows how to go beyond good teaching to support ELLs in learning challenging mathematics while developing language skill. Position your students to share the valuable knowledge that they bring to the classroom as they actively build and communicate their understanding. The design of this book is interactive and requires the reader to move back and forth between the chapters and online resources at www.nctm.org/more4u. Occasionally, the reader is asked to stop and reflect before reading further in a chapter. At other times, the reader is asked to view video clips of teaching practices for ELLs or to refer to graphic organizers, observation and analysis protocols, links to resources, and other supplementary materials. The authors encourage the reader to use this resource in professional development.

An investigation of what we should be aiming at in education, and what concepts of the human being and the good society should lie behind our aims. The author compares the general aims of education for which he argues, with those which can be perceived to underlie the National Curriculum.
Interdisciplinary manual analyzes the roots of racism through lessons and readings by numerous educators. Issues such as tracking, parent/school relations, and language policies are addressed along with readings and lessons for pre- and in-service staff development. All levels.
Teaching is a lifelong challenge, but the first few years in the classroom are typically a teacher's hardest. This expanded collection of writings and reflections offers practical guidance on how to navigate the school system, form rewarding relationships with colleagues, and connect in meaningful ways with students and families from all cultures and backgrounds.
The National Curriculum is now seen as the minimum, rather than the whole, curriculum. This text explores the issues which flow from this, looking particulary at what teachers, parents and others perceive to be important, and what therefore demands a place in the curriculum, in both primary and secondary education - whether it be moral education, sport, core skills, religious education and economic awareness - or the more narrowly competing demands of the National Curriculum subjects themselves. The book seeks to help teachers develop a balanced curriculum which can be justified to themselves, to governors, to parents and to OFSTED.
In 1998 the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) reported on its review of the National Curriculum. The QCA exercise included a wide-ranging consultation on what the aims of school education should be. The two papers published here both spring from the QCA initiative and were fed into the consultation process. In ‘New aims for a new National Curriculum’, John White asks how curricular aims should be determined, and how any procedure can avoid privileging the views of one section or another of the population. He suggests the only way to avoid sectional privilege is to derive aims from values implicit in the notion of democracy itself. In ‘A Curriculum for the Nation’, Richard Aldrich argues that the list of curricular aims should precede that of subjects, and that the very concept of a national curriculum presented as a list of subjects and confined to maintained schools should be questioned. Drawing upon the writings of John Locke, the seventeenth century educational and political thinker, he seeks a more fundamental basis for curriculum construction and implementation.
