HIGHER EDUCATIONThe Rise of the Research University: A SourcebookPAUL REITTER, CHAD WELLMON AND LOUIS MENANDThe modern research university is a global institution with a rich history that stretches into an ivy-laden past, but for as much as we think we know about that past, most of the writings that have recorded it are scattered across many archives and, in many cases, have yet to be translated into English. With this book, Paul Reitter, Chad Wellmon, and Louis Menand bring a wealth of these important texts together, assembling a fascinating collection of primary sources—many translated into English for the first time—that outline what would become the university as we know it.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTMaking The Leap: Moving from Deputy to HeadJILL BERRYIn Jill’s experience, new heads often ask themselves similar questions. How can I balance the two roles as I begin to hand over my senior leader responsibilities and, at the same time, begin to assume the mantle of the head? How can I establish the most positive and productive relationship with the outgoing head, so that confidence is maintained and the school is energised, rather than threatened, by the change of school leader? How can I ensure the early months and years of headship are as successful as possible, so that the school develops and grows even stronger under my leadership? This book will answer all those questions and more.

Tips and Tools for the Art of Experiential Group Facilitation 2edJENNIFER STANCHFIELDThe first edition of Tips & Tools, published almost a decade ago, was embraced enthusiastically by seasoned experiential educators and training professionals seeking inspiration, new perspectives, and an insightful overview of experiential learning. The second edition of Tips & Tools eclipses the first with insights gained from the feedback supplied by readers of the first edition, another decade of experience in group facilitation, and new information coming from the emerging field of educational neuroscience. As a result the ideas and methods focused on active engagement, ownership in learning, and facilitating meaningful reflection have been greatly expanded. The layout of information is more effective—experiential theory and perspectives, hands-on activities, and teachable moments flow from one chapter to the next— making this edition an essential resource for practicing and teaching the art of experiential group facilitation.

Connected Gaming: What Making Video Games Can Teach Us about Learning and LiteracyYASMIN KAFAI AND QUINN BURKEOver the last decade, video games designed to teach academic content have multiplied. Students can learn about Newtonian physics from a game or prep for entry into the army. An emphasis on the instructionist approach to gaming, however, has overshadowed the constructionist approach, in which students learn by designing their own games themselves. In this book, Yasmin Kafai and Quinn Burke discuss the educational benefits of constructionist gaming—coding, collaboration, and creativity—and the move from “computational thinking” toward “computational participation.” The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning.
