Product Description

In 1905, as the University of Virginia inaugurated him as its first president, the revered southern educator Edwin Anderson Alderman proposed an education school, despite the thriving existence of normal teachers' colleges, primarily female, throughout the state. John D. Rockefeller Sr. donated $100,000 in support, and the Curry Memorial School of Education was born.In the century since, the Curry School of Education has grown and solidified, struggled and diversified, and raised its expectations and its visibility. It has steered a dedicated course through the challenges of depression, war, student disaffection, and faculty debate by holding true to the visions of Jefferson and Alderman. Always attuned to and often leading the discussion about current educational theories, Curry School faculty, students, and graduates represent the evolution of American education during the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.From its original founding in 1905 to the visions it is now creating for the teachers and children of tomorrow, the Curry School of Education has a distinguished and significant history. In this centennial volume, Eleanor Vernon Wilson chronicles the decisions, responses, programs, initiatives, and accomplishments that together form the panoramic history of the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.

Product Description
Although educators are expected to bring about functional changes in the brain--the organ of human learning--they are given no formal training in the structure, function or development of the brain in formal or atypically developing children as part of their education. This book is organized around three conceptual themes: First, the interplay between nature (genetics) and nurture (experience and environment) is emphasized. Second, the functional systems of the brain are explained in terms of how they lead to reading, writing and mathematics and the design of instruction. Thirdly, research is presented, not as a finished product, but as a step forward within the field of educational neuropsychology. The book differs from neuropsychology and neuroscience books in that it is aimed at practitioners, focuses on high incidence neuropsychological conditions seen in the classroom, and is the only book that integratesboth brain researchwith the practice of effective literacy, and mathematics instruction of the general and special education school-aged populations. ...

UGH
I have personally seen this author at conferences. Although she has great info to share this book is VERY difficult to get through. I was very disappointed in the content and I have a masters degree. I would say this book is best for those involved in research end of education and would send the book back if I could.

Unique, concise; especially the writing sections
This book is a wealth of knowledge for those rare bread of educators who are truly interested in integrating scientific knowledge of children into their instruction and assessments.Berninger has a unique way of organizing information and theory into a concise model that allows one to quickly apply that knowledge to almost any situation in education: assessment, curriculum assessment, child assessment, lesson design, special ed lesson design, and child behavior problems. ...

Excellent book
This book, and the earlier edition, has been a stand-by for me for years. It first introduced me to really appreciating children in our worship services, and I've depended on it's validity for many years. Without the foundation of this book I would not have grown in my ability to aid parents as they worship with their children, nor would I have been able to write the books I have that include our responsibility to children in worship. I highly recommend it!

Reading Rhetorically
It is pretty good. Im not a fan of the class, so I don't really like doing the work.

Rhetorical Reading is "In"
Bean's brief edition of Reading Rhetorically is a must-have for teachers and for both high school and college students. Too often the notion of "reading" for deeper meaning (and thus for deeper enjoyment of the process) is swept under the rug as students move into the upper grades and on to college. This text will help restore the dedication to reading as both art and active learning. ... Read more

Product Description
Starting from the premise that interdisciplinarity plays a role in the research community, this text explores the nature and practice of interdisciplinary research. Contributors to this collection address the ways in which interdisciplinarity is defined, positioned, and handled by researchers, universities and critics. They also examine such topics as "myths" of interdisciplinarity, postmodern critiques of interdisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and research grant allocation, women's studies, environmental studies and "emerging" disciplines. The collection combines a theoretical examination of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity as forms of knowledge production and organization with practical information about the basic difficulties and conundrums involved in the practice of interdisciplinary research. ...
