The Beginner's Guide to Cooperative Learning - Make your learners your main teaching resource

Drew Howard, Jakob Werdelin

Maison d'édition: Crown House Publishing

Synopsis

The Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit describes collaborative learning as an approach which 'involves pupils working together on activities or learning tasks' and in such a way that enables 'everyone to participate on a collective task that has been clearly assigned'. In the context of this book, Cooperative Learning relates to a number of such activities from simple memorising to more complex analysis and debating which are designed to boost learners' interdependence, participation and interaction.
Drawing upon both research-informed theory and real-world examples, Jakob Werdelin and Drew Howard present both an insightful introduction to Cooperative Learning as a practice and philosophy and a practical guide to classroom application.
The authors share their expertise on how to amplify the effect of current pedagogical approaches and schemes of work, simplify performance management as an empowering tool for teachers and leaders, and create an inclusive environment in which every pupil is able to fulfil their learning potential. Jakob and Drew also discuss how Cooperative Learning relates to a range of other aspects of teaching, including assessment, metacognition and Rosenshine's Principles.
The book focuses on Catch1Partner as an exemplary Cooperative Learning Interaction Pattern (CLIP) as, by fully grasping the principles of staging and running Catch1Partner in its many forms, readers will then be better equipped with the foundational know-how to deploy other CLIPs, such as Sage and Scribe, Word-Round and Rotating Role Reading. The authors also provide a variety of ready-to-photocopy (and downloadable) sample teaching materials, tools, guidelines and an activity transcript in the appendices.
Suitable for teachers and leaders in both primary and secondary school settings.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves explores the concept of emotional intelligence (E.Q.) as a crucial skill that can be developed to improve personal and professional life. The book emphasizes that E.Q., which is the ability to understand and manage emotions, is often more important than I.Q.. It uses the story of a surfer encountering a shark to show the battle between emotions and reason, and introduces four fundamental E.Q. skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The book offers numerous strategies to enhance these skills and highlights the impact of practicing them regularly for better relationships, decisions, and leadership. The epilogue discusses research showing that E.Q. varies based on gender, age, and culture.

Trans Studies in K-12 Education...

Mario I. Suarez, Melinda Mangin

Edited by two prominent figures in trans studies, Mario I. Suárez and Melinda M. Mangin, Trans Studies in K–12 Education brings together scholars and professionals to explore why and how schools should affirm gender diversity and challenge gender-based inequities. 
 
 
 
Gathering a wealth of evidence, the book's contributors expose the prevailing norm of gendered environments, which are entrenched in the very design and execution of educational research. The collection also lays out a critical overview of US laws and policies related to gender equity, gender identity, and gender expression and how these frameworks impact educational environments. These findings draw attention to deficit-oriented, pathologizing ideologies that surround nonconforming gender identities and the detrimental, often traumatizing effects on transgender students and educators. 
 
 
 
Throughout, the contributors recommend methods for establishing gender-affirming research, policy, and practice. They outline the sociopolitical and legal pathways that trans and nonbinary students and school employees may use to secure education and workplace rights. They discuss the positive gains made by professional development for teachers, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and community programs that successfully support transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals.

The Sociology of Consumption -...

Fred Grandsen

Consumption is more than just the act of buying goods and services; it is deeply embedded in social life, shaping identities, relationships, and cultural norms. Every purchase, whether intentional or subconscious, communicates something about an individual’s values, social status, and aspirations. From luxury fashion to everyday grocery choices, consumption reflects broader social trends and plays a crucial role in defining personal and collective identities.
One of the key aspects of consumption is its role in self-expression. People often use products to craft and communicate their identities, signaling their tastes, lifestyles, and even political beliefs. Clothing, for example, can represent a person’s social class, cultural background, or profession, while the brands they choose may indicate affiliations with certain social groups. The rise of sustainable fashion, vegan products, and ethical brands demonstrates how consumers align their purchases with their moral values, reinforcing the idea that buying is not just about necessity but about meaning.
In addition to personal identity, consumption is tied to social status and economic class. French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu argued that consumption patterns are shaped by “cultural capital,” or the knowledge, tastes, and habits associated with different social classes. Wealthy individuals may engage in conspicuous consumption, a term coined by Thorstein Veblen, where luxury goods serve as symbols of status and exclusivity. However, in modern consumer societies, status can also be displayed through experiences, such as luxury travel or exclusive events, rather than material possessions alone.
