by Kim Insley

19,86€ + 10% CARD

 The Training and Development Agency's new Professional Standards for teachers requires 'an up-to-date knowledge and understanding' of the law. But how can you know the law when it keeps changing? And how do you apply abstract legal guidelines to real-life situations? Teachers and the Law explains the basics and suggests simple strategies to help you understand the law and apply it effectively throughout your career. Features include: real-life examples that illustrate how teachers can apply statutory guidelines to everyday interactions with students, parents and colleagues, covering issues such as equal opportunities and health and safety; discussion of how to implement the National Curriculum and its assessment procedures in line with statutory requirements; a review of employment law for teachers, including an examination of teachers' pay and rights to preparation, planning and assessment (PPA); an easy-to-use format that highlights examples and allows practitioners to quickly find relevant passages; a useful guide to resources that teachers can consult to stay informed of changes in the law. Teachers and the Law is a practical guide that doesn't just explain the law; it teaches you how to understand it even as it changes and develops. It is an indispensable tool for all teachers, whether in training, just qualified or well established in the profession.

 This book demonstrates how teacher educators in the UK and worldwide can attract, recruit and support black and minority ethnic students to become much needed and valued future teachers and educational leaders.

The book collects examples of good practice, and case studies highlight specific ways tutors and students have learned from difficult situations to develop positive outcomes. The authors show how to create spaces and networks where people can express themselves and seek support so that problems are recognised and resolved. It includes: a snapshot of policy and practice on the PGCE; clear and up-to-date descriptions of race-relations policies, procedures and legislative guidance; clarification of the responsibilities of tutors in relation to professional practice in issues of diversity; case studies based on real examples, such as how to support Muslim women students, and how to deal with the sensitive topic of racism in the classroom. Respecting Difference is essential reading for all providers of initial teacher education (ITE) who need to consider their organisation's and individual's practice and policy in regard to recruitment and retention. It is also extremely relevant for all those working with students in higher education more generally.

Focus On Music 2 - Exploring The Musicality Of Children And Young People With Retinopathy Of Prematurity

by Adam Ockelford e Christina Matawa

17,21€ + 10% CARD

 Focus on Music 2 is the second in a series that examines the impact of different forms of visual impairment on the developing musicality of blind and partially-sighted children and young people.The research is based on observations of visually impaired children and young people by their parents, teachers and therapists, and by the authors themselves. A key question is how the participants' level of vision, the age of onset of their visual impairment, and the neurological consequences of their medical condition impact on their evolving musicality. Parents answered questions about the following: their perceptions of their children's interests in everyday sounds and music; the importance of music in different contexts and at different times; their children's musical abilities; their accounts of their children's engagements with music; the provision of music education and therapy. The research is complemented by illustrated case studies, which offer a range of detailed perspectives on the musical experiences, interests, abilities and education of seven children and young people with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Examples of teaching strategies and assessments of musical development using the Sounds of Intent (SOI) Framework are illustrated. The book contributes to a wider recognition of the vital role of music therapy and education in the lives of all children with special educational needs, and concludes that neither visual impairment nor learning difficulties need be a barrier to musical fulfilment at all levels. This book will be helpful to those who work with children and young people with visual impairment, including their families, teachers and therapists. It will also interest music educators, music psychologists and researchers.

Few of these young people receive the services that their special musical interests and talents deserve, however, and Focus on Music makes a number of recommendations to improve the equality of access to music education for all blind and partially-sighted children, including those with additional disabilities.
