And because businesses are run by people, the book also lends itself to helping us navigate life beyond the world of work.

Introducing key terminology around morphemes (smallest unit of meaning in words) and phonemes (smallest contrastive units in language) in an accessible and clear way, Sandman-Hurley goes on to explain how we can identify, and learn from, kids’ spelling miscues, and use them to further inform our teaching and instruction. Shedding much needed light on an under-explored tool for classroom or home learning, Dyslexia and Spelling is essential reading for teachers and parents alike.

POLICYCommunity Schools: People and Places Transforming Education and CommunitiesJOANNE FERRARA AND REUBEN JACOBSONFerrara, Jacobson, and their colleagues illuminate how community schools become a comprehensive, place-based strategy that both supports high-quality teaching and learning and addresses out-of-school barriers to success. They provide first-hand accounts of how diverse actors, working together, build partnerships between the school and other local entities—higher education institutions, government health and social service agencies, community-based non-profits, and faith-based organizations. These partnerships intentionally seek to provide opportunities and supports that are enjoyed by students in better resourced schools in which the schools’ work is routinely (but often invisibly) supplemented by high-capacity communities and families.

Reading for Action: Engaging Youth in Social Justice through Young Adult LiteratureASHLEY S. BOYD AND JANINE J. DARRAGHThis book illustrates how teachers can draw upon young adult literature to facilitate students’ social action. Each chapter centers on one novel that represents a contemporary topic including police brutality, women’s rights, ecojustice, and bullying. In each, authors provide pre-, during-, and after-reading strategies for teaching that connect the social issues in the texts to students’ lives and to the world around them. They then offer a multitude of avenues for student action, emphasizing the need to move readers from understanding and awareness to asserting their own agency and capacities to effect change in their local, national, and global communities. “This book is an essential resource for educators who want to introduce students to an array of social justice issues with texts that their students will actually want to read. Containing strategies for teaching contemporary issues with some of the latest and most popular young adult titles, this text also shares strategies for infusing canonical works, music, and other young adult texts into instruction. In each chapter the authors also provide websites, online videos, articles, and other electronic resources related to the text and topic discussed. User friendly yet rigorous, Reading for Action is a must for experienced and new teachers alike who are invested in their students, social justice, and culturally responsive instruction.”—Victor Malo-Juvera, assoicate professor, Department of English, University of North Carolina, Wilmington


TEACHER TRAININGMultimedia Learning Theory: Preparing for the New Generation of StudentsPATRICK M. JENLINKThis book offers a primary focus on the meaning and importance of multimedia learning theory and its application in educator preparation. Integrating multimedia learning theory into preparing the next generation of educators for their role in the education of the next generation of students is presented as an important consideration for the future of our educational systems and society. As the use of digital technologies and Web 2.0 becomes more prevalent and the world becomes more infused with multimedia, it is important to ask to what extent, if at all, such developments change the forms and nature of knowledge. “The constant development of new technology can render the field of educational technology amorphous. The field requires a firm anchor and that anchor is made available by theories and findings of human cognition and instructional design. This book uses multimedia learning theory and its emphasis on cognition and instruction to specify the requisite structures. With engaging, accessible writing, the authors provide an interesting, valuable synthesis for educators concerned with an appropriate use of educational technology.”—John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, School of Education, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
