"With PISA tables, accountability, and performance management pulling educators in one direction, and the understanding that education is a social process embedded in cultural contexts, tailored to meet the needs and challenges of individuals and communities in another, it is easy to end up in seeing teachers as positioned as opponents to the 'system'. Jerome and Starkey argue that the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) can provide a pragmatic starting point for educators to challenge some of these unsettling trends in a way which does not set up unnecessary opposition with policy-makers. They review the evidence from international evaluations, surveys and case studies about practice in human rights and child right education before exploring the key principles of transformative and experiential education to offer a robust theoretical framework that can guide the development of child rights education. They also draw out practical implications and outline a series of teaching and learning approaches that are values informed, aligned with children's rights and focused on quality learning"--

"Externship Pedagogy and Practice is an in-depth exploration of how to design, structure, evaluate, and teach law school externship courses. The book will be an essential resource for experienced and new externship faculty, law school administrators, and externship site supervisors. One of the ways law schools have responded to the demand for more experiential education is by expanding externship courses and faculty. In recent years, dramatic changes in the use of technology in law practice and recognition of the impact of bias on the justice system have influenced legal education, including externship courses. Law schools are also considering how to better integrate their externship programs into their law school curriculum. While there are a number of excellent books on how to design and teach in-house clinical courses, to date there is no comprehensive book on best practices for designing and teaching externship courses. This book fills that gap. The book starts by describing the essential characteristics of all externship courses and explaining the ABA Standards and other regulations governing externships. The next section focuses on program design, including types and locations of placements, credit hours, selecting and evaluating supervisors, establishing and assessing program learning outcomes, and designing individual courses. The third section focuses on teaching the externship course, with chapters on faculty-guided reflection, class topics for general and subject-specific courses, teaching techniques, and using online technology. Each of these chapters includes multiple examples of in-class and out-of-class assignments, discussion and reflection topics, and other tools for successful teaching. The final section is specifically geared towards externship site supervisors and describes best practices for supervision, feedback, and ethical duties. The book provides comprehensive guidance to ensure that both long-standing and relatively new externship programs and courses provide excellent learning experiences for students that are a high-quality component of a school's experiential curriculum"--

"Places That Matter : Knowing Your Neighborhood Through Data is for anyone who wants to learn the language (concepts) of research methods and to translate that language into action. Places that Matter is written with the of goal of both facing and easing these challenges by (1) transferring the intellectual energy required to learn the methods of research on to a place that matters; (2) systematically building readers' confidence to convert the abstract language of research into applied activity and action taking; and (3) guiding (really coaching) readers to create an action plan grounded in systematic research. Places that Matter is not a comprehensive overview of research methods. Rather, it is a book that seeks to build a solid conceptual and experiential foundation for wanting to learn more. This book assumes an action-based learning approach. Action-based learning (ABL) is a learner-centered approach. Places that Matter guides you through an action-based learning experience that is launched by identifying a specific place that matters to your life and then asking you to get to know the neighborhood that surrounds it. Each chapter is broken into a series of learning modules with related exercises that take between 10 to 90 minutes each to complete. The exercises include step-by-step instructions to complete an investigative task, move you through the project and cultivate the skill set important to succeeding in, and negotiating, a knowledge- and data-driven economy. That skill set includes possessing the problem-solving and analytic skills to gather data and make observations and then manage, manipulate, and make meaning from the data collected and observations made"--Provided by publisher

This open access book gives insights into feminist methodologies in theory and practice. By foregrounding the experiential and embodied nature of doing feminist research, this book offers valuable tools for feminist research as a continuous praxis. Emerging from a rich collective learning process, the collection offers in-depth reflections on how feminists shape research questions, understand positionality, share research results beyond academe and produce feminist intersectional knowledges. This book reveals how the authors navigate theory and practice, candidly exploring the difficulty of producing knowledge on the edge of academia and activism. From different points of view, places and disciplinary positions, artistic and creative experiments and collaborations, the book provides a multi-layered analysis. This book will be a valuable resource and asset to early career researchers and interdisciplinary feminist students who can learn more about the doing of feminist research from realistic, accessible, and practical methodological tools and knowledge.

Formalized work routines and fossilized structures often are unhelpful for operating in and actively shaping complex and dynamic environments. We need a performative, fluent understanding of organization that is no longer entirely based on rational planning: the often hidden experience-based knowledge (tacit knowing) is the foundation of today's necessary »art« of improvisation. The contributions show how implicit and intuitive anticipatory knowledge along with experimental, playful actions provide the basis for innovation and agile learning in organizations and social systems. In the analysis of »organizational patterns« and »musical thinking«, a new understanding of more flexible and agile organizations emerges.

A contemporary examination of what information is represented, how that information is presented, and who gets to participate (and serve as gatekeeper) in the world's largest online repository for information, Wikipedia. Bridging contemporary education research that addresses the 'experiential epistemology' of learning to use Wikipedia with an understanding of how the inception and design of the platform assists this, the book explores the complex disconnect between the encyclopedia's formalized policy and the often unspoken norms that govern its knowledge-making processes. At times both laudatory and critical, this book illustrates Wikipedia's struggle to combat systemic biases and lack of representation of marginalized topics as it becomes the standard bearer for equitable and accessible representation of reality in an age of digital disinformation and fake news. Being an important and timely contribution to the field of media and communication studies, this book will appeal to academics and researchers interested in digital disinformation, information literacy, and representation on the Internet, as well as students studying these topics.

"This interdisciplinary volume links dis/ability and agency by exploring LatDisCrit's theory and practice. It uses the author's experiential and analytical views as a blind brown Latinx engaged scholar and activist from the global south living and struggling in the highly racialized global north context of the United States. LatDisCrit integrates critically LatCrit and DisCrit which look at the interplay of race/ethnicity, diasporic cultures, historical sociopolitics and dis/ability within multiple Latinx identities in mostly global north contexts, while incorporating global south epistemologies. Using intersectional analysis of key concepts through critical counter stories, following critical race theory methodological traditions, and engaging possible decoloniality treatments of material precarity and agency, this book emphasizes intersectionality's complex underpinnings within and beyond Latinidades. This interplay of dis/ability identity and dis/ability rights/empowerment open avenues for intersectional solidarity and spaces for radical transformational learning. This book will be of interest to all scholars and students working in disability studies; critical Latinx/Chicanx studies; critical geographies; intersectional political philosophy; and political and public sociology"--
