Handbook of Research on Transforming Teachers' Online Pedagogical Reasoning for Engaging K-12 Students in Virtual Learning

Margaret L. Niess

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically transformed the classroom by keeping students and teachers apart for the sake of safety. As schools emptied, remote learning rapidly expanded through online services and video chatrooms. Unfortunately, this disrupted many students and teachers who were not accustomed to remote classrooms. This challenge has forced K-12 teachers to think differently about teaching. Unexpectedly and with little time to prepare, they have been confronted with redesigning their curriculum and instruction from face-to-face to online virtual classrooms to protect students from the COVID-19 virus while ensuring that these new online initiatives remain sustainable and useful in the post-pandemic world. As teachers learn to take advantage of the affordances and strengths of the multiple technologies available for virtual classroom instruction, their instruction both in online and face-to-face will impact what and how students learn in the 21st century. The Handbook of Research on Transforming Teachers' Online Pedagogical Reasoning for Engaging K-12 Students in Virtual Learning examines the best practices and pedagogical reasoning for designing online strategies that work for K-12 virtual learning. The initial section provides foundational pedagogical ideas for constructing engaging virtual learning environments that leverage the unique strengths and opportunities while avoiding the weaknesses and threats of the online world. The following chapters present instructional strategies for multiple grade levels and content areas: best practices that work, clearly describing why they work, and the teachers' pedagogical reasoning that supports online implementations. The chapters provide ways to think about teaching in virtual environments that can be used to guide instructional strategy choices and recognizes the fundamental differences between face-to-face and virtual environments as an essential design component. Covering such topics as K-12 classrooms, pedagogical reasoning, and virtual learning, this text is perfect for professors, teachers, students, educational designers and developers, instructional technology faculty, distance learning faculty, and researchers interested in the subject.

Meaningful and Active Family Engagement: IEP, Transition and Technology Integration in Special Education

Millicent M. Musyoka

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.
