How Students Come to Be, Know, and Do
Studies of learning are too frequently conceptualized only in terms of knowledge development. Yet it is vital to pay close attention to the social and emotional aspects of learning in order to understand why and how it occurs. How Students Come to Be, Know, and Do builds a theoretical argument for and a methodological approach to studying learning in a holistic way. The authors provide examples of urban fourth graders from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds studying science as a way to illustrate how this model contributes to a more complete and complex understanding of learning in school settings. What makes this book unique is its insistence that to fully understand human learning we have to consider the affective-volitional processes of learning along with the more familiar emphasis on knowledge and skills.

Language Teacher Noticing in Tasks
This book provides an accessible, evidence-based account of how
teacher noticing, the process of attending to, interpreting and
acting on events which occur during engagement with learners, can
be examined in contexts of language teacher education and
highlights the importance of reflective practice for professional
development. Central to the work is an innovative mixed-methods
study of task-based interaction which was undertaken with
pre-service English language teachers in Japan. Through close
analyses of task interaction coupled with recall data, it
illustrates the ways in which pre-service teachers noticed their
student partners' use of embodied and linguistic resources. This
focus on what teachers attend to, how they interpret it, and their
subsequent decisions has multiple implications for language
learning and teacher development. It demonstrates the value of
teacher noticing for developing rapport, supporting pupils'
language acquisition, enhancing participation, fostering reflection
and guiding observation, a central feature of language teachers'
career advancement.

Lesson Study
Lesson study is a popular professional development approach in Japan whereby teachers collaborate to study content, instruction, and how students solve problems and reach for understanding in order to improve elementary mathematics instruction and learning in the classroom. This book is the first comprehensive look at the system and process of lesson study in Japan. It describes in detail the process of how teachers conducted lesson study--how they collaborated in order to develop a lesson, what they talked about during the process, and what they looked at in order to understand deeply how students were learning. Readers see the planning of a mathematics lesson, as well as how much content knowledge the teachers have. They observe students' problem solving strategies and learn how Japanese teachers prepare themselves to identify those strategies and facilitate the students' discussion. Written for mathematics teachers, educational researchers, school administrators interested in teachers' professional development, and professional developers, this landmark volume provides an in-depth understanding of lesson study that can lead to positive changes in teachers' professional development and in teaching and learning in the United States.
