Talent identification. A concept dating back to Greek philosophers, now as it was then, is about the ability to identify talent in different contexts. The ability to identify talent has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It has long been considered a crucial parameter for success in sport, but has spread to different contexts such as education, business, and culture. Until recently, research on talent identification (particularly in sports) has been predominantly concerned with finding a recipe for identifying talent in formal circumstances, such as talent testing. However, talent identification is much more than that. Rather, talent identification should be seen as something everyone practices to some extent. Every day. All the time. This book provides an insight into talent identification and puts forward new ways of understanding and approaching talent identification.

This publication puts forward a revised vision in an attempt to solve one of the most serious problems facing schools, that of their inability to involve all pupils in learning. Beyond being a simple vision, it is also a plea for an in-depth transformation of educational practices. The contributions in this book call for a different look at problems and practices in the fight against school failure. The chapters in this book present the challenges faced by education and training professionals in France, Spain, Hungary and Denmark. The texts question and highlight the idea of cooperation between families, schools, communities and local authorities. How can we develop relevant and effective professional practices to combat pupils' learning difficulties? In guidance and future orientation, how can we consider pupils¿ diversity and the often difficult social and economic context in which they live? How can we link school and out-of-school knowledge to better promote the development of pupils' learning? How can national or even international educational guidelines be linked to local initiatives?

We have included many sayings that are virtually identical in both English and Spanish, such as, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

The text that accompanies each drawing may include information about the saying's origin or other similar expressions. We invite you to enjoy this book!

In the domain of education, the crucial connection between families and professionals faces obstacles that create a gap undermining student success. The conventional family engagement model falls short as the concept of "family" broadens to encompass various individuals influencing a child's learning path. Despite recognized significance backed by research and federal mandates, systemic barriers persist, disproportionately impacting culturally, linguistically, and economically diverse families. Furthermore, the absence of a unified resource that integrates disability, diversity, and technology exacerbates these issues, leaving educators unprepared to establish fair educational settings. Offering a groundbreaking solution, Millicent Musyoka's research book, titled Meaningful and Active Family Engagement: IEP, Transition, and Technology Integration in Special Education , disrupts the existing norm and redefines family engagement. Through this pioneering work, both scholars and educators gain a comprehensive manual for navigating the intricate terrain of inclusive education. Musyoka's expertise, spanning multilingualism, multicultural education, and special education, equips readers with strategies to bridge the divide between professionals and families. By highlighting legislative foundations and validated theories, the book offers a roadmap to transform engagement into purposeful collaboration. Meaningful and Active Family Engagement: IEP, Transition, and Technology Integration in Special Education covers diverse topics, including involving diverse families and those with disabilities, and integrating technology for effective communication. Through case studies, conflict resolution insights, and appreciation of diversity's benefits, Musyoka empowers readers to foster inclusive educational environments. The book's innovation lies in its comprehensive approach, addressing disability, diversity, and technology as interlinked components. Academics, educators, and service providers will discover this resource as transformative-a pivotal stride toward achieving equity, social justice, and enhanced student outcomes.

Co-teaching er en forskningsbaseret, systematisk og målrettet måde at samarbejde på til gavn for både lærere og elever. Det er således noget andet og meget mere end de tolærerordninger, der er udbredte i den danske folkeskole. Fra en, til to, til co-teaching forklarer hvorfor og hvordan. Det er både en bog om teorierne og forskningen bag begrebet co-teaching og en praktisk håndbog til, hvordan man helt konkret griber co-teaching an. Det gør den unik i en dansk sammenhæng. De to forfattere har gennem en årrække arbejdet systematisk med co-teaching i Gladsaxe Kommune, og de har flere gange besøgt skoler i USA for at få den nyeste viden om emnet og blive inspireret til at videreudvikle metoden og tilpasse den en dansk skolepraksis. Bogen er en guldgrube af konkrete værktøjer, gode råd, refleksioner, vigtige opmærksomhedspunkter, udfordringer og eksempler på, hvordan man bedst kan udvikle inkluderende læringsmiljøer ved at bruge co-teaching som samarbejdsform. Forfatterne inviterer læseren ind i maskinrummet, uanset om du er lærer, pædagog, vejleder, PPR-medarbejder eller leder.Man kan læse mere om metoden, bestille kurser og downloade alle illustrationer fra bogen på hjemmesiden teachnordic.dk

Shred through Social Confusion!The world around us is a complicated place filled with expectations, rules, assumptions, guidelines, regulations, and policies. This "hidden curriculum" exists across environments, places, people, and cultures. Although rules and mandates can be complex, most of us take comfort in them--often unconsciously--because they help us to know what to do in everyday situations.We like rules if they are consistent. It is when they are unclear, or are unstated that we can become upset, indignant, or confused. Some people learn the hidden curriculum and its impact automatically. Others learn the hidden curriculum only by direct instruction, which is the purpose of this book.In this third edition, the essential features of the original book have been maintained and information on evidence-based practices has been added. In addition, it provides a series of instructional strategies that can be used to teach the hidden curriculum. Instructional aids include charts, forms, and templates designed to make the job of teaching and learning the hidden curriculum more effective.Finally, The Hidden Curriculum offers extensive lists of hidden curriculum items or unstated guidelines. Due to the elusive nature of the hidden curriculum, the lists--while broad--offer examples rather than a definite set of lessons to be learned. Parents, educators, support persons, and others are encouraged to consider the lists as springboards to make their own lists geared specifically toward the unique needs of the individuals with whom they work or live.
