Thinking like a lawyer : a framework for teaching critical thinking to all students / by Seale, Colin,1982-author.(CARDINAL)872400;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 151-153).The autobiography of a recovering underachiever -- Defining critical thinking -- The critical thinking gap -- A critical thinking revolution -- Introduction to thinkLaw -- Analysis from multiple perspectives -- The power of analysis from multiple perspectives -- Mistake analysis -- Investigation and discovery -- Settlement and negotiation -- Competition -- Making thinkLaw work -- Avoiding engagement for engagement's sake -- Critical thinking: Classroom management's secret weapon -- Beyond test prep: hacking the "big test" -- Leveraging families to unleash critical thinking potential."To compete in our rapidly changing global marketplace, critical thinking is the essential tool for ensuring that students fulfill their promise. But, in reality, critical thinking is still a luxury good, and students with the greatest potential are too often challenged the least. To close this critical thinking gap, "Thinking Like a Lawyer" introduces a powerful but practical framework to give teachers the tools and knowledge to teach critical thinking to all students. Using this framework, teachers will help students adopt the skills, habits, and mindsets of lawyers as they tackle 21st-century problems. Colin Seale, a teacher-turned-attorney-turned-education-innovator and founder of thinkLaw, uses his unique experience to introduce a wide variety of concrete instructional strategies and examples that teachers can use in all grade levels and subject areas. Individual chapters address underachievement, the value of nuance, evidence-based reasoning, social-emotional learning, equitable education, and leveraging families to close the critical thinking gap"--

The authors encourage pre-K teachers to discover the value of engaging preschoolers in scientific inquiry, technological explorations, engineering challenges, and math experiences based on learning trajectories. They explain the big ideas in STEM, emphasizing teaching strategies that support these activities (such as language-rich STEM interactions), and describe ways to integrate concepts across disciplines. The text features research-based resources, examples of field-tested activities, and highlights from the classroom. Drawing from a professional development model that was developed with funding from the National Science Foundation, this book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to support preschool children to be STEM thinkers and doers [cover].

Harper -- From Discovery to Application : Challenges in Effectiveness and Implementation Research for the Promotion of LGBTQ Health and Wellness / Robin Lin Miller and Angulique Y. Outlaw"This edited collection is a course book intended for graduate students of public health or health sciences who want to learn research methods for studying the health of LGBTQ populations. The book is divided into three sections and is edited by top scholars in the field. The book will fill a niche that no existing course book occupies"--Over the last 30 years, the health needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Americans have become increasingly recognized, in particular for the ways in which they are distinct from those typically assessed and addressed in society. Universities and researchers are paying greater attention to LGBTQ public health issues and how they might adapt existing methods to research marginalized communities, but until now there has been no authoritative resource to guide their education or practice. Developed for graduate students in public health and health sciences but perfect for anyone interested in this topic. This book will fill that gap and provide the necessary public health tools to teach about and study LGBTQ populations effectively. Divided into three sections and edited by top scholars, LGBTQ Health Research explains research methods important to descriptive epidemiology that are needed to document health disparities among LGBTQ populations. The book also examines research methods that help explain the driving forces of these disparities. Focusing on real-world experience in developing and testing interventions to mitigate health disparities in LGBTQ populations, it also breaks down issues that challenge the direct application of standard research methods with these communities, including those related to sampling, measurement, choice of theoretical variables to explain the distribution of health and illness, cultural competence in intervention design, and community participation. Promoting the creation and diffusion of effective interventions, the book takes a holistic approach to address longstanding research gaps regarding important marginalized communities. It also documents profound health disparities in many LBGTQ populations across a wide range of health conditions and explains why future development of the field must be based on inclusive science and rigorous research methods. LGBTQ Health Research is an essential textbook for any courses that deal with the intersection of marginalization, health, sexuality, and gender. -- Provided by publisher.
