Designing High-Quality Professional Development for Standards-Based Schools

"Mackh is uniquely and exceptionally qualified to help us better understand how adopting a learning-centered, design thinking orientation will equip us to engage students in the beneficial practices of creative thinking, problem finding, and innovative action. Indeed, Higher Education by Design offers frameworks, plans, and recommendations flexible and nimble enough for a broad range of contexts that will appeal to both early on teachers and those of us who have spent decades in the classroom."—Dànielle Nicole DeVoss, Professor of Professional Writing and Director of Graduate Programs in Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures at Michigan State University

"Higher Education by Design comes at an important and opportune moment. Mackh provides readers with intentional, strategic, and tactical approaches to employ design thinking in post-secondary education. The arrival of a book that goes beyond buzzword and codifies design thinking into relevant pedagogical practice and approaches to learning is both welcome and timely."—Laurence Kaptain, Dean of the College of Arts & Media at the University of Colorado Denver"The author has presented strategies that, when implemented, can improve the performance of new and experienced teachers in higher education. Extensive references are presented at the end of every chapter. I can highly recommend this book to people from other disciplines as well as from education settings. Faculty without an educational background can enhance their teaching practices for the sake of their students in order to prepare them to meet job market requirements in the 21st century."—Mboneza Nsengiymva Kabanda

'The Public Nature of Private Property contains a set of thought-provoking essays written by leading property law scholars, centered upon a single motif involving the nature of property. Modern property discourse usually adopts a frame portraying private property and public regulation as antagonists. From this perspective the task is to decide when private property rights must bend to protect or serve other public interests. These contributions reframe the debate by adopting a different vantage point. Public regulation can be seen as part of the definition of private property, rather than an incursion on property. The reframing has value for two reasons. First, it more accurately reflects the centuries-old history of how the Anglo-American understanding of property has evolved. Second, it enhances the discourse by putting the two strains, private and public property rights, on a level playing field.'  James Charles Smith, University of Georgia, USA  'The Public Nature of Private Property is a valuable resource both for the academic property lawyer and the academic administrative lawyer.' The Cambrian Law Review

'The ongoing changes of the musical landscape and digital devices during the last twenty years have had a huge impact on the musical behaviour and experiences in people's everyday life. The presence of music in all daily life and new ways of communication through social media has also influenced musical teaching and learning. Sociology and Music Education represents a strong body of new knowledge that illuminates several of the key issues in current music education. Consequently, the book is essential reading for all people involved in musical teaching and learning'. Bengt Olsson, University of Gothenburg, Sweden  ’Ruth Wright has assembled an impressive list of contributors...a highly engaging and worthwhile addition to the literature which music educators should regard as required reading.’ teachingmusic.org.uk     '... A fascinating book... I now feel I have a much clearer understanding of what is going on beneath the surface in the social dynamics which shape the development of music education. ...a highly engaging and worthwhile addition to the literature which music educators should regard as required reading. I suspect those, like me, outside academia may want to take this book slowly and carefully - but it is well worth the effort!' Teaching Music  'Of particular importance to less-experienced readers is the overview of social theories in the introductory chapters and the inclusion of such a variety of authors and hard-to-find topics related to music education. A valuable resource in sociology as well as music. Summing Up: Recommended.' Choice  'The first chapter...offers essential information for those new to sociological thought and an apt refresher for those with more familiarity. ... Chapter after chapter, Sociology and Music Education captures the reader with insightful and meaningful research.' Journal of Historical Research in Music Education

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012  ’The editors and authors of this collection are to be congratulated on a fine work. It is an excellent book that should assume  a prominent position in the library of any criminologist, forensic psychologist or psychiatrist, lawyer, social worker or researcher working in environments where incapacitation is employed as a policy tool. Politicians, in particular, could learn much from reading it carefully, reflecting on its contents, and considering the evidence it contains in the development of penal policies.’ Psychiatry, Psychology and Law  ’This path-breaking book is brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed. Each chapter makes a distinctive contribution so that the volume provides a comprehensive analysis of this troubling topic. Although it focuses on the Netherlands, there is enough information about other countries to show that the expansion of incapacitation is a universal phenomenon. There are enough provocative ideas in this book to keep researchers busy for a generation.’ Malcolm M. Feeley, University of California, Berkeley, USA  ’Providing a fascinating insight into the changing forms of incapacitation, this volume delineates the spread of what the editors call 'the urge to control and disable'.  Blessed with contributions from outstanding scholars, Incapacitation serves not only as an invaluable penological resource, but also to advance thinking about the changing characters of punishment and penal practices.’ Cyrus Tata, Strathclyde University, Scotland

’With the turn of the new century, a change in the global consciousness of social problems, and the conditions for their legitimacy, has taken place. Anyone who still has doubts about it should read this book. Theoretically diverse and thematically consistent, Legitimization in World Society offers a refreshing sociological approach to the normative and structural problems of the modern global society.’ Otfried HÃ¶ffe, TÃ¼bingen University, Germany ’An excellent collection of contributions to the vital issue of contemporary legitimization. A central aspect of the book is that processes of legitimization are situated within a definite awareness of globality. This is a major step in the coordination of the concepts of globality and modernity.’  Roland Robertson, University of Pittsburgh, USA and  University of Aberdeen, UK

"The benefits that working with wood offers young children shine through in this timely and informative book that will become a mainstay of your setting."
Neil Henty, Early Years Educator Magazine, UK.
"Every so often a book is written that helps practitioners to develop their work in deep and far reaching ways. This is that sort of book."
Tina Bruce CBE, University of Roehampton, UK.
"With 25 years of experience, the author draws on practical examples, revealing a treasure trove of ideas to put into practice, as well as advice on materials and tools, and staff training."
Neil Henty, eye
"The book is carefully structured to guide the reader through a detailed rationale for teaching and learning through woodwork; these concepts build in a natural way as the book progresses, and are all underpinned by theoretical and pedagogical perspectives, as well as being placed within historical and current contexts. The case studies, as well as the photographic illustrations, interspersed throughout the chapters, all emphasise key principles for good practice, and bring the themes to life. The snippets of conversation and dialogue, recorded from conversations with children engaged in the projects, cannot fail to demonstrate the deep learning and thoughtful and reflective comments that children are capable of under the right conditions. As readers, Moorhouse gives us an insight into how his philosophy, and his vision for what is possible, can be made into a reality in any classroom or setting. The tone of the book is spot on, and speaks to the reader, making us feel as though we are being well advised by someone who understands."
Susan Ogier, University of Roehampton, UK
