Pursuing Teaching Excellence in Higher Education : Towards an Inclusive Perspective
Teaching excellence is a topic of international significance, having importance for higher education worldwide, yet is generally considered to be poorly defined and understood.The current discourse of teaching excellence is narrowly framed, instrumental and performative, with an onus on measurement and quantification.Wood and Su investigate and rethink excellence in higher education, connecting this to the understanding of the role and purpose of higher education.Stakeholder perspectives on teaching excellence are explored, and the authors argue that it is through engaging with higher education constituencies, to examine teaching excellence from different angles and stances, that more inclusive understandings may be built.These stakeholder perspectives, which form the central chapters of the book, include higher education institutions, academics, students, employers and parents.The importance of a commitment to engaging with understandings situated in the diverse experiences and contexts of stakeholders for an ‘inclusive perspective’ on teaching excellence is affirmed.At the close of the book, the Coda examines some of the implications of the responses to the COVID-19 global pandemic for inclusive perspectives on teaching excellence in higher education.

Seeking Connections : An Interdisciplinary Perspective on Music Teaching and Learning
Music connects the lives of students, teachers, and school communities in many ways.Music is also integrally related to other art forms, history, culture, and other subjects commonly taught in schools.These relationships deserve critical attention, particularly as educators seek to reorient their curricula and pedagogy toward the pressing aims of social justice.Seeking Connections encourages interdisciplinarity as a capacity to be exercised-an orientation or habit of mind that teachers and students can develop.This capacity depends upon viewing music as permeable, recognizing that music influences related ways of knowing, just as related ways of knowing influence music.This book invites teachers to create educational experiences that engage students in exploring an expansive relationship with music.With imaginative examples drawn from diverse musical genres, visual art, poetry, and historical cases, Seeking Connections provides thoughtful principles, models, and instructional strategies to deepen students' understandings of musical works and inspire interdisciplinary inquiry throughout elementary and secondary music programs, as well as settings in music teacher education and professional development.

Education: The Rock and Roll Years : A northern perspective on a lifetime of learning, teaching and leading
Les has often described himself as the ‘Forrest Gump of education’, as he seems to have been present at all the major educational developments since World War 2.This book is a very personal retrospective on a life in education over the last three-quarters of a century. He avoids personal negativity, though much of the narrative comes from a negative view of school and its impact on the lives of children.It is also a book full of hope that the human potential at the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, self-actualisation, can realistically be achieved. An optimistic, humorous, self-mocking account, it emphasises the seriousness of the issues covered - corporal punishment, industrial disputes, the impact of bereavement on children and many more - by sleight of hand. Important educational debates are cunningly illuminated through the reflections of a simple Geordie lad.There are key messages here for all those engaged in the process of life-long learning. Education: the Rock and Roll Years' is visionary, practical, rebellious, idiosyncratic and beautifully idiomatic. Its strength is combining personal experience with key principles. This is an excellent piece of writing. Professor Andy Hargreaves, Boston College and University of OttawaLes Walton has achieved great things at the most senior levels of education.The thing that marks him out is that no matter how senior his post, he has never forgotten that the purpose of education is to give opportunities, excite minds and change things.His reflections, which show how education and learning have done all these things in his life, make good reading and remind everyone why education is one of the most important things if a society is to thrive.  Former Secretary of State for Education, Baroness Morris of Yardley

What is learning from a personal perspective?
Learning from a personal perspective is the process of acquiring new knowledge, skills, or understanding through one's own experiences, reflections, and interactions. It involves being open to new ideas, being willing to challenge existing beliefs, and being proactive in seeking out opportunities for growth. Personal learning is often driven by curiosity, passion, and a desire for self-improvement, and it can lead to personal development, increased confidence, and a broader perspective on the world.

Which perspective?
The perspective that one chooses to adopt can greatly influence their understanding of a situation or issue. It can shape their beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. By considering different perspectives, individuals can gain a more well-rounded view of a topic and make more informed decisions. It is important to be open to different perspectives in order to foster empathy, understanding, and collaboration.
-
Which writing perspective?
The writing perspective refers to the point of view from which a story is told. It can be first person, where the narrator is a character in the story and uses "I" to tell the story. It can also be second person, where the narrator addresses the reader as "you," or third person, where the narrator is not a character in the story and uses "he," "she," or "they" to tell the story. The choice of writing perspective can greatly impact how the reader experiences and interprets the story.
-
From whose perspective?
The perspective from which a story or situation is being told can greatly influence the way it is perceived. It is important to consider the perspective of the narrator or the person telling the story, as well as the perspectives of the different characters involved. Understanding the different viewpoints can provide a more comprehensive understanding of the situation and can help to uncover different layers of meaning and interpretation.

Understanding Education : A Sociological Perspective
Who should be educated, when, by whom and how? What purposes should education serve? Why does education matter? These fundamental questions of value are not always seen as central to the sociology of education.However, this book argues that they are pivotal and provides a sophisticated and engaging introduction to the field that is designed to open up these important debates.It draws attention to the many points of disagreement that exist between major thinkers in the sociology of education, and the values on which their ideas are based.By involving readers in crucial questions about the potential contribution of sociology to education policies and practices, it aims to bridge the divide between education as it is talked about by academics, and the concerns of policymakers and educators who have to make practical decisions about what is to be done. Chapter by chapter the book introduces competing approaches in the sociology of education - structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, Marxism, feminism, critical race theory and poststructuralism.It shows how these can be applied to major themes such as social reproduction, the politics of knowledge, multicultural education, identity and teachers’ work.Throughout, the authors emphasise the importance of understanding social and educational values and the ways in which these underpin and impact upon the work of both academics and educators.

Inclusive Education : A Systematic Perspective
This book answers two questions: What does the implementation of inclusive education require of a system of education and all parts of the system?How do various parts of the education system act on their commitment to inclusive educational practice?Decades after major legislation (i.e., the Civil Rights Act, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) made high-quality education a fundamental right for all children in the United States, the dream of diverse, inclusive, democratic schooling has yet to be realized.Nevertheless, some classrooms, schools, districts, states, and universities have made progress.Inclusive Education: A Systematic Perspective explores the theoretical implications of inclusive practice as well as illustrative case studies and evaluation findings from states, educator preparation programs, districts, and schools that have reframed their work around the principles of inclusive practice.Whether these organizations position the work as "social justice education," "culturally responsive teaching," or "inclusion," their efforts lead in the same direction- toward higher quality and more equitable education for all.The chapters will be relevant to graduate students, faculty members, and education leaders, at all levels, who seek a comprehensive overview of the commitment and practice of "inclusive education".Chapters vary in their approaches to the topic, some presenting theoretical underpinnings, others describing practices or programs at particular sites, others reporting findings from empirical studies, and edited interviews with state and district leaders of inclusive-education initiatives.The book explores why inclusion is important and how it can be accomplished.

Machine Learning : A Probabilistic Perspective
A comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis.Machine learning provides these, developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use the uncovered patterns to predict future data.This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach. The coverage combines breadth and depth, offering necessary background material on such topics as probability, optimization, and linear algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field, including conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep learning.The book is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.All topics are copiously illustrated with color images and worked examples drawn from such application domains as biology, text processing, computer vision, and robotics.Rather than providing a cookbook of different heuristic methods, the book stresses a principled model-based approach, often using the language of graphical models to specify models in a concise and intuitive way.Almost all the models described have been implemented in a MATLAB software package-PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit)-that is freely available online.The book is suitable for upper-level undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background and beginning graduate students.

What contribution does philosophy education make to learning about morality?
Philosophy education plays a crucial role in helping individuals explore and understand different ethical theories and perspectives on morality. By engaging with philosophical texts and debates, students are encouraged to think critically about moral issues, develop their own ethical reasoning skills, and reflect on their values and beliefs. This process of philosophical inquiry can deepen one's understanding of complex moral dilemmas, foster empathy and open-mindedness, and ultimately contribute to the development of a more informed and ethical decision-making process.

Is the cavalier perspective the same as the parallel perspective?
No, the cavalier perspective and the parallel perspective are not the same. The cavalier perspective is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown in its true size and shape, but the depth is not shown accurately. The parallel perspective, on the other hand, is a type of 3D drawing where the object is shown with accurate depth and proportions using parallel lines to create the illusion of depth. In summary, the cavalier perspective does not accurately represent depth, while the parallel perspective does.
-
What distinguishes the parallel perspective from the vanishing point perspective?
The parallel perspective, also known as isometric perspective, does not use a vanishing point to create the illusion of depth. Instead, all lines remain parallel and do not converge towards a single point. This results in a more uniform and less realistic representation of space. In contrast, the vanishing point perspective uses a single vanishing point to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space, resulting in a more realistic and dynamic representation of objects and scenes.
-
What is the difference between central perspective and parallel perspective?
Central perspective, also known as one-point perspective, is a type of linear perspective where all lines converge to a single vanishing point on the horizon. This creates the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional drawing or painting. On the other hand, parallel perspective, also known as two-point perspective, involves two vanishing points on the horizon line, making it suitable for depicting objects from different angles or viewpoints. In parallel perspective, objects appear more realistic and three-dimensional compared to central perspective.
