Carney, Mark
Value(s) : building a better world for all
Toronto, ON: Signal, 2021.
Subjects: Group values (Sociology). Social change. Social values.
Summary: The fundamental problems facing us today, argues Mark Carney, stem from a
common crisis in values. Drawing on the turmoil of the past decade, Carney shows how "market
economies" have evolved into "market societies" where price determines the value of everything.
When we think about what we, as individuals, value most highly, we might list fairness, health,
the protection of our rights, economic security from poverty, the preservation of natural
diversity, resources, and beauty. The tragedy is that these things we hold dearest are too often the
casualties of our twenty-first century world, when they ought to be our bedrock. In this book,
Carney offers a vision of a more humane society and a practical manifesto for getting there. How

The reality game : how the next wave of technology will break the truth
New York, NY: Public Affairs, 2020.
Subjects: Communication in politics—Technological innovations. Digital media—Political
aspects. Internet—Political aspects. Propaganda. Social media—Political aspects.
Summary: Despite all the attention paid to it, the problem of online disinformation is only getting
worse. Social media may well play a role in presidential elections and other major political
events. But that doesn't begin to describe what future propaganda will look like. As the author
shows, we will soon be navigating new technologies such as human-like automated voice
systems, machine learning, "deepfake" AI-edited videos and images, interactive memes, virtual
reality and augmented reality. The author describes the future and how technology can be
manipulated, who might control it, and its impact on political strategy. Finally, he proposes
strategic responses to this threat with the ultimate goal of empowering activists and pushing
technology builders to design for democracy. We may not be able to alter how the internet was
used to challenge democracy during elections or crises in years past, but we can follow signals to
prevent manipulation in the future—and to use these powerful new tools to empower people
rather than to control them.

Utopia for realists : how we can build the ideal world
New York, NY: Back Bay Books/Little, Brown and Company, 2017.
Subjects: Basic income. Boundaries. Income. Social prediction. Utopias—Philosophy. Utopias.
Workweek.
Summary: This is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you
think can happen. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard
Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, the author takes us on
a journey through history, and beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he champions ideas
whose time have come. Every progressive milestone of civilization — from the end of slavery to
the beginning of democracy — was once considered a utopian fantasy. This book demonstrates
that new utopian ideas, like the elimination of poverty and the creation of the fifteen-hour
workweek, can become a reality in our lifetime. Being unrealistic and unreasonable can in fact
make the impossible inevitable, and it is the only way to build the ideal world.

New Arrivals to the Emma Stewart Resources Centre April 2021The trouble with billionaires Toronto, ON: Penguin Books, 2010. Subjects: Canada—Economic conditions—1991- . Canada—Economic policy—1991- . Income distribution—Canada. Rich people—Canada. Summary: The glittering lives of billionaires may seem like a harmless source of entertainment. But such concentrated economic power reverberates throughout society, threatening the quality of life and the very functioning of democracy. It's no accident that the United States claims the most billionaires, but suffers among the highest rates of infant mortality and crime, the shortest life expectancy, as well as the lowest rates of social mobility and electoral political participation in the developed world. Our society tends to regard large fortunes as evidence of great talent or accomplishment. Yet the vast new wealth isn't due to an increase in talent or effort at the top, but rather to changing social attitudes legitimizing greed and government policy changes that favour the new elite. Authoritative and eye-opening, this book will spark debate about the kind of society we want. 342.710872 L438 Learning about treaties in Canada [DVD] Pembroke, ON : LeMay Media & Consulting, 2016. Subjects: Indians of North America—Canada—Government relations. Indians of North America—Canada—Treaties. Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Native Peoples—Canada— Government relations—History. Native Peoples—Canada—Treaties—History. Summary: In this DVD, students will come to understand the circumstances that led to the process of treaty making, including the fur trade, western and northern expansion, and the 7 Year War. Treaties are compared to promises or solemn covenants. We begin to understand how their negotiation was flawed and how First Nation lives were affected not only in the past, but also how the process still impacts First Nations communities today.

Subjects: COVID-19 (Disease)—British Columbia. Epidemics—British Columbia—History— 21st century. Health officers—British Columbia—Biography. Henry, Bonnie,—Dr. Henry, Lynn. Sisters—British Columbia—Biography. Summary: This book is a behind-the-scenes story of the four key weeks during which BC's Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Bonnie Henry, 'flattened the curve' through a consistent, calm, empathetic, science-based and well-articulated public health strategy. Coincidentally, Dr. Henry's sister, Lynn Henry, arrived for a long-planned visit on March 12, 2020. For the four ensuing weeks, Lynn had a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the personal and political whirlwind of this time. Both a global story and a family story, this tale combines Lynn's observations and knowledge of Bonnie's personal and professional background with Bonnie's recollections of how and why decisions were made, to tell a dramatic tale of these four weeks that made all the difference to millions of people. This is a book about communication, New Arrivals to the Emma Stewart Resources Centre April 2021 7

New York, NY: Little, Brown Spark, 2020.
Subjects: COVID-19 (Disease)—Psychological aspects. COVID-19 (Disease)—Social aspects.
Epidemics—Social aspects. Physical fitness—Health aspects.
Summary: This book offers an account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on American
society as it unfolded in 2020, and on how the recovery will unfold in the coming years. The
author explores what it means to live in a time of plague — an experience that is paradoxically
uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive, yet deeply fundamental to our species
as a whole. Unleashing new divisions in our society and new opportunities for cooperation, this
21st century pandemic has upended our society in ways that will test, but not vanquish, our
already frayed culture's capacity to endure and thrive. This book envisions what happens when
the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature.

Hoboken, NJ : Jossey-Bass, 2021.
Subjects: Career education. Education—Aims and objectives. Life skills—Study and teaching
(Secondary). School-to-work transition.

kids to be ready for this new reality, they must acquire four critical "currencies" that will serve
them well, whatever their future holds: credentials, competencies, connections, and cash. This
book focuses on how to prioritize these four key outcomes whenever and wherever learning
happens. The author shares research and experience to help you understand and apply a human-
centered and future-focused lens directly to your classroom, school, program, or at home.

Culturally responsive teaching for multilingual learners : tools for equity
8
New Arrivals to the Emma Stewart Resources Centre April 2021Thousand Oaks, CA : Corwin, 2021. Subjects: Culturally relevant pedagogy. English language—Study and teaching—Foreign speakers—Social aspects. Multilingualism. Summary: Despite recent efforts to shift the narrative for our nation's English learners, most of our present policies and practices are indisputably informed by a deficit lens. The very label English learner (or EL) — a term used both in federal (most recently in ESSA) and local policies — suggests a deficit in that it focuses on what is lacking (English language proficiency) rather than on an emergent asset (developing multilingualism). This deficit perspective typically permeates all aspects of our country's education system beginning at the classroom level, extending through the culture of schools and districts, and ultimately manifesting itself in misguided legislation and policy such as Proposition 227 in California which effectively prohibited bilingual education for nearly two decades. 370.1170971 M418 Massing, Carole; Anderson, Bonnie The educational assistant’s guide to supporting inclusion in a diverse society Edmonton, AB: Brush Education Inc., 2020. Subjects: Learning—Social aspects—Canada. Multicultural education—Canada. Teachers' assistants—Training of—Canada. Summary: This book responds to the increasing diversity of Canadian classrooms and the need for all students to feel valued, capable, and included. It clearly outlines the many and varied responsibilities of the Educational Assistant (EA) in supporting inclusion and invites the reader to reflect on the attitudes, skills, and challenges they associate with the EA role. Several chapters are devoted to building skills and understanding for effectiveness: advocacy, building relationships, reflective practice and effective communications. A brief outline of findings from brain research, resiliency theory, multiple intelligences and self-esteem suggests the importance of an individualized, wholistic approach to student learning. The second half of the book describes Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and outlines specific strategies for differentiating academic and social learning. It addresses supports for particular exceptionalities, presents a continuum of guidance strategies, and describes various kinds of observation that EAs can use to discover and provide information about students. The closing chapter includes information on self-care as well as some summary advice from experienced EAs. 370.1175 L864 López, Lisa M.; Páez, Mariela M.

practices workbook helps teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, and every educator reflect and
enhance their restorative journey. It is part professional resource and part guided journal.

processes that are learned, adapted, and applied in real-world problems and challenges. The
authors unpack six core fluencies to better reflect the social, cultural, and economic shifts of
modern times.

Distracted : why students can't focus and what you can do about it
New York, NY: Basic Books, 2020.
Subjects: Active learning. Attention in adolescence. Classroom environment. Cognitive
neuroscience. Effective teaching. Interest (Psychology). Motivation in education. Problem-based
learning. Student participation in curriculum planning.
Summary: Why is it so hard to get students to pay attention? Conventional wisdom blames
iPhones, insisting that access to technology has ruined students' ability to focus. The logical
response is to ban electronics in class. But the author argues that this solution obscures a deeper
problem: how we teach is often at odds with how students learn. Classrooms are designed to
force students into long periods of intense focus, but emerging science reveals that the brain is
wired for distraction. We learn best when able to actively seek and synthesize new information.

Rural teacher education : connecting land and people

New Arrivals to the Emma Stewart Resources Centre April 2021Singapore: Springer, 2020. Subjects: Education, Rural—Canada. Teachers—Training of—Canada.

The kind of schools we need : personal essays Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1998. Subjects: Arts—Study and teaching. Cognition. Education—Philosophy. Education—Research. Educational change. Summary: In an era when school reform movements are sweeping the nation, this author’s organic or "ecological" approach is more cogent than ever. He discusses this approach in detail in the final section of the book, "The Practice and Reform of Schools," making problematic beliefs about the utility of fixed and uniform standards in a nation whose schools serve fifty million students. Reading this book, teachers, school administrators, and scholars will find a connection to one of the most influential thinkers in education today. 370.973 S131 Sahlberg, Pasi; Walker, Timothy D.

Educational change—Finland. Educational change—United States. Teacher-administrator relationships—Finland. Teacher-administrator relationships—United States. Summary: This book features seven key principles from Finland for building a culture of trust in schools around the world. In the spring of 2018, thousands of teachers across the United States— in states like Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Arizona—walked off their jobs while calling for higher wages and better working conditions. Ultimately, these American educators trumpeted a simple request: treat us like professionals. Teachers in many other countries feel the same way as their US counterparts. This book presents a compelling vision, offering practical ideas for educators and school leaders wishing to develop teacher-powered education systems. It reveals why teachers in Finland hold high status, and shows what the country's trust-based school system looks like in action. The authors suggest seven key principles for building a culture of trust in schools, from offering clinical training for future teachers to encouraging student agency to fostering a collaborative professionalism among educators. 371.10019 C736 Compassion fatigue, emotional labour and educator burnout : research study : phase one report : academic literature review and survey one data analysis Edmonton, AB : Alberta Teachers' Association, 2020.

Supporting staff mental health in your school
London, UK : Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2021.
Subjects: Burn out (Psychology)—Prevention. Teachers—Job stress. Teachers—Mental health.
Summary: Recent years have seen a mental health crisis take hold within school environments.
Teaching staff facing demanding workloads, limited resources and constant budget cuts are
increasingly stretched beyond their contracted hours, with mental wellbeing and self-care
slipping through the cracks as a result. The need for a cultural shift has become yet more
apparent in recent years, in which the number of teachers relying on counselling services has
surged and over half have reported considering leaving the profession. Drawing on case studies
from years of experience working within schools and supporting staff mental health, the author
introduces the main issues affecting teaching staff and the strategies that can be implemented to
change the conversation and ensure that mental wellbeing is placed at the forefront. This is an
accessible, easy-to-read guide to setting up a culture in which staff may talk openly about the
issues affecting them, prioritise self-care and re-discover their love of teaching.

Using oral narratives to tell the story of Black access and education in Ontario between the 1940s and the 1980s, this book provides insight into how issues of race, gender, class, geographic origin, and training shaped women's distinct experiences within the profession. As schools continue to grapple with creating diverse educational programs for all Canadians, this book is a timely excavation of the meaningful contributions of Black women educators who helped create equitable policies and practices in schools and communities. 371.102 N532 Quinzio-Zafran, Anna M.

Subjects: Classroom management. School environment. Summary: Bullying prevention and character-building programs are deepening our awareness of how today's kids struggle and how we might help, but many agree that these programs aren't enough to create school cultures where students and staff flourish. This inspired the authors to begin seeking out systems and educators who were getting things right. Their experiences taught them that the real game changers are using a human-centered approach. Inspired by other design thinkers, many teachers are creating learning environments where seeking a greater understanding of themselves and others is the highest standard. They're also realizing that compassion is best cultivated in the classroom, not the boardroom or the auditorium. It's here that we learn how to pull one another close. It's here that we begin to negotiate the distances between us as well. 371.144 C727 Colwell, Jennifer; Ince, Amanda Reflective teaching in early education. Second edition London, UK: Bloomsbury Academic, 2021. Subjects: Early childhood education. Reflective teaching. Summary: This book provides excellent support for trainee and practising early years practitioners, combining evidence-based principles with practical advice and examples to help you get to grips with the realities of working in an early years setting.

growth
Alexandria, VA: ASCD, 2020.
Subjects: Assistant school principals. Educational leadership. School management and
organization.
Summary: You're an Assistant Principal. Whatever your status—the sole AP in your school, one
of two or more APs in your school, a career AP, an AP aspiring to the principalship—yours is
one of the most misunderstood and underutilized positions in education. Positioned between
teachers and the principal, you are an instructional leader. However, you are not the leader of the
school. Therefore, you must carefully navigate your way to ensure that you thrive in your role
without "stepping on the toes" of your principal.

The education we need for the future we can’t predict
Thousand Oaks, CA: Corwin, 2021.
Subjects: Educational change. Educational equalization. School improvement programs.
Summary: This book confronts the fundamental problem that schools have improved for some
children, while other children continue to remain left out and left behind. As a result, educators
face some fundamental questions. Should we continue to improve the schools we have in the
hope that we can make them work for all? Or should we radically transform schools assuming
the current system will never work for everyone? This book is designed to show that we can do
both: we can make the schools we have more efficient, more effective, and more equitable at the
same time that we create more powerful opportunities to support all aspects of students'
development both inside and outside schools. All educational improvement efforts face the
challenge of changing the "grammar of schooling" – the conventional structures, practices, and
beliefs – that define educational experiences for so many children. Those who seek to improve
educational outcomes have to confront the fundamental reality that the more radical their
approaches are, the more difficult it will be for those approaches to take hold and to spread
across many schools and communities.

NOW classrooms, grades 9-12 : lessons for enhancing teaching and learning through technology Bloomington, IN : Solution Tree Press, 2018. Subjects: Education, Secondary—Computer-assisted instruction.

Curriculum Notes: Information Processing 10, 20, 30. 371.3352 D913 Duncum, Paul Picture pedagogy : visual culture concepts to enhance the curriculum London, UK : Bloomsbury Academic, 2020. Subjects: Photography in education. Pictures as information resources. Pictures in education. Summary: Contemporary societies are saturated with pictures. They are part of everyday life around the globe, and they are seductive, offering values and beliefs in such highly pleasurable forms that it is often difficult to resist their power to persuade. Yet interpreting pictures is largely neglected in schools. This book addresses this situation head on, showing that pictures can be used as a powerful form of classroom pedagogy. The author explores key concepts and curriculum examples to empower you to support students to develop a critical consciousness about pictures, whether teaching art, media, language or social studies. Drawing on the interpretive concepts of representation, rhetoric, ideology, aesthetic pleasure, intertextuality and the gaze, the author shows how you can develop your students' skills so that their power as viewers can match the power of pictures to seduce. Examples from the history of fine art and contemporary popular mass media, including Big Data and fake news, are brought together and shown to be appealing to the same aesthetic pleasures. Often these pleasures are benign, but sometimes problematic, helping to promote morally questionable ideas about a range of topics including gender, race and sexual orientation, as this book fully explores. 371.36 B662 Boardman, Alison G.; Garcia, Antero Compose our world : project-based learning in secondary English language arts New York, NY : Teachers College Press, 2021.

Subjects: Inclusive education. Web-based instruction. Summary: Schools must remain focused on the goal of inclusion, even when students are learning from home. Distance learning poses many obstacles, but it also offers unique opportunities. In some ways, classrooms are more accessible in this format: students can “enter” and “exit” online classes in ways that work best for them and take different types of breaks (e.g., stand to learn, shut off the camera) as needed. They can also respond to teacher questions and prompts in a variety of ways (e.g., verbally, by typing responses into chat boxes, by holding pictures or objects up to the webcam) and access lessons by listening, interacting with peers, or viewing related materials (e.g., teacher-created videos) asynchronously. Further, as you will see throughout this book, there is no shortage of ways students can connect to peers in virtual classrooms. This book is not an examination of all that is possible in e-learning. Rather, it is meant to be a guide and a starting point for discussion and planning, not only for teaching in virtual spaces but for considering how to bring the learning we acquire in this format back to face-to-face classrooms. This book features stories from parents, community members, administrators, and teachers, as well as tips for making inclusion work for students of all ages. 371.911 C348 Castellano, Carol Making it work : educating the blind/visually impaired student in the regular school Greenwich, CT : Information Age Publishing, Inc., 2005.

Subjects: Autistic children—Education—Great Britain. Inclusive education—Great Britain. Summary: Drawing on research and interwoven with comments from autistic child and adult contributors throughout, this book argues that inclusion will only work if the ways in which autistic children think, learn, communicate and exhibit their understanding are valued and supported. Such an approach will benefit both the learner and the whole classroom. Considering topics such as the sensory environment, support, learning and cognition, school curriculums, communication and socialisation, this much needed book offers ideas and insight that reflect the practical side of day-to-day teaching and learning, and shows how thinking differently about autism and inclusion will equip teachers to effectively improve teaching conditions for the whole school.
