The need to engage students is a common theme within higher education. However, the exact meaning of engagement is itself more nebulous.Engagement may be thought of as how much effort and active learning students make with their studies.There are some approaches to categorising and measuring engagement that can be helpful when planning teaching and learning and the supporting activities. The opportunity to monitor attendance, attempts at formative work and accessing course materials offered by computer based and supported learning environments provides new opportunities to measure engagement.This book discusses leadership practices, perspectives and the impact of technology on student engagement in schools.

As Americas classrooms become more demographically diverse, educators must learn how to respond to the different needs and cultural styles of children who represent such diversity. Diversity Training for Classroom Teaching is a resource guide geared to help educators create classroom communities that respond to diversity. The learning activities presented in this volume define terminology, provide activities to raise self-awareness, include newspaper articles that illustrate the relevance of concepts, and allow for an overall dialogue about diverse issues.This book encourages readers to generate their own construction of effective multicultural education and learn how to adapt it across various student populations and educational problems. At the same time, learning activities encourage readers to respect and seek to understand the experiences and worldviews of different people and how these diverse realities influence what is meant by multicultural education.

This collection addresses issues related to families and transition, and pays special attention to the transition to school, the effect of this on the family, as well as the effect of the family on that transition. It celebrates the roles of families, locating them as integral partners in time of transition and identifying a variety of ways in which families and educators can work together with children to promote positive transitions. The book draws on a range of theoretical frameworks and research projects to provide multiple perspectives of family involvement in education, family-educator partnerships, the nature of collaboration, issues for families in marginalised or complex circumstances, as well as the multiple intersections of families and transition processes. The research projects reported range from in-depth case studies to the analysis of large-scale data sets and all have multiple messages for practitioners, policy makers and researchers as they seek ways to engage with families as their children start school.
