Summary

This book explores the challenges and opportunities involved in conducting research with members of immigrant, refugee and other minoritized communities. Through first-hand reflective accounts, contributors explore community-based collaborative work, and suggest important implications for applied linguistics, educational research and anthropological investigations of language, literacy and culture. By critically reflecting on the power and limits of university-based research conducted on behalf of, or in collaboration with, members of local communities and by exploring the complicated relationships, dynamics and understandings that emerge, the chapters collectively demonstrate the value of reflecting on the possibilities and challenges of the research process, including the ethical and emotional dimensions of participating in collaborative research.

Driven by the need to get whatever they want whenever they want and the need to fit in to be cool and popular — then playing the guilt card and blaming you for not loving them enough for not giving in to their demands — can wreak havoc on any parent's nerves.You can blame it on pop culture, but remember...you, as a parent, need to be their GPS (guided parental system), guiding them in a world they think they know into a well-respected, successful individual and a good outstanding citizen. That's the biggest the priority of a parent and the biggest prize you can offer to your kid(s). They need you to!Here's a peek at what you'll find in Instant Parenting:How to be a good parent by adopting the fundamental "six golden rules" of parenting to raising children more easily and guiding them through lifeHow to apply the "art of codependent parenting" where you and your child both have mutual respect and need each other for survival as one form of parenting stylesHow to improve interactions with your children by working on your "parental communication skills" so they'll always respect and listen to youHow to manage yourself and your kids when they have done something wrong against your wishes and everything you've taught themHow to get your kids on your side, by being on their side, so they'll always let you in on their lives without hiding any secrecyCustom practical "how-to" strategies, techniques, applications, and exercises for better parenting skills for raising kids better

    A gift of gratitude for those who do one of the hardest jobs in the world and impact our lives in ways that are forever being revealed: educators. 
     
    As artist and writer Sandy Gingras so aptly points out in the introduction to her book Thank You, a life lived well is perhaps the highest form of thanks a person can give to teachers as a way of repaying them for their attention and effort. A simple thank-you is also nice. 
     
    Thank You is Gingras’s own delightful way of conveying this sentiment. This charming keepsake book features her soft, sweet watercolor artwork and thoughtful original text celebrating teachers and all they do for us. 
     
    Always striking the right tone of gratitude without being overly sentimental, Thank You is a wonderful way to show appreciation to teachers for their enduring gifts to us both great and small.

    A refreshing and invigorating exploration of what really matters and what really works in higher education teaching.
    
    Dr Erik Blair's
    Independent Thinking on Teaching in Higher Education: From theory to practice is a refreshing and invigorating exploration of what really matters and what really works in higher education teaching.
    
    This book offers an insight into an area of higher education that has become more significant of late: the art of teaching. It focuses on the actual work of teaching and gives thought-provoking and perceptive guidance on how to teach in a meaningful and engaging manner.Independent Thinking on Teaching in Higher Education doesn't bamboozle with abstract terminology. Instead, Erik guides readers through topic-driven chapters that offer practical answers supported by rationales drawn from everyday experience. Alongside the core themes, he also provides bite-sized 'nuggets of wisdom' that prompt readers to implement flexible and effective strategies as part of their daily practice.
    
    The book offers a deeper understanding of the roles and responsibilities of those who teach in higher education, and also covers the three areas measured in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF): teaching quality, the learning environment, and the educational and professional outcomes achieved by students. Furthermore, Erik goes beyond the lecture theatre and seminar room by including a section dedicated to teaching online - that is, how to get the best out of delivering content to students remotely via the virtual learning environment.
    
    Ideal for those new to teaching in higher education as well as more experienced practitioners who want to continue honing their craft, Independent Thinking on Teaching in Higher Education embraces teaching and learning as a personal and human activity - and encourages educators to reflect on how the suggested approaches can be applied in their particular teaching environment.
    
    Suitable for all educators working in higher education.
