Amid the buzz from news outlets, websites and social media peddling 'this works' approaches and 'quick fix' solutions, this book provides educators with a practical tool to help answer important questions such as: what does this trend actually involve? Is it worth the investment of time and resources? Does it work - what does research say? Do the claimed benefits to students outweigh any downsides?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this timely book, David Armstrong and Gill Armstrong cast a critical, expert eye over these trends, referencing the latest research and offering a framework for considering educational trends, empowering readers as informed critical consumers. They argue that trends disclose deeper truths about the state and direction of contemporary public education in Australia, England and the US and provide original, thought-provoking analysis. This book demonstrates that a greater understanding of trends can teach some important lessons, including how parents, teachers and educational decisions makers can agitate and collaborate for a modernised and more socially equitable education system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEducational Trends Exposed is essential reading for pre- and in-service teachers, and all educational decision makers who are faced with a choice of which trend, if any, to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Armstrong\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Inclusive Education at RMIT University Melbourne where he leads provision in this area in the main teacher education program. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGill Armstrong is a UK registered architect, a qualified teacher and a researcher in Built Environment Teaching and Learning (BEL+T) at University of Melbourne, who use design-think to deliver teaching and learning at Australian universities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47410047713458,"sku":"9781032151281","price":77.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/8c4ce63acef60decb5a87bd21550c158.webp?v=1778275529","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/educational-trends-exposed-how-to-be-a-critical-consumer-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
