Book Description
For years, we have considered school dropout rates as a problem occurring at the high-school level. However, this is actually an issue that originates and develops in elementary school. In Do Children Drop Out of School in Kindergarten? Gregory Hickman and Randy Heinrich show how high school dropouts in many ways drop out of school long before they reach high school. Using a comprehensive systems approach, Hickman and Heinrich argue that our policy makers, educators, parents, and community members need to scrutinize our education system, moving past fixing short-term symptoms to engaging core, long-term problems for deep, effective change. For real change to take place, our national agenda needs to address the dropout problem at the elementary level, long before kids enter high school.

Book Description
This collection highlights research conducted by academics from the fields of science and English language studies. The contributions gathered here bring out the importance of using a translanguaging approach to teaching subject content. The volume responds to the generally agreed custom among academics that translanguaging should only be used by language teachers and lecturers. The practical descriptions of how translanguaging has been, and can be, used in science and maths classrooms show that translanguaging pedagogy should not be a tool to be used by language lecturers only. The volume shows that there are emerging perspectives with regards to teaching maths and science where translingual pedagogy can be used as a vehicle towards assisting students to understand difficult academic concepts.

Book Description
The widespread view that girls are succeeding in education and are therefore 'not a problem' is a myth. By drawing directly on girls' own accounts and experiences of school life and those of professionals working with disaffected youth, this book offers startling new perspectives on the issue of exclusion and underachievement amongst girls. This book demonstrates how the social and educational needs of girls and young women have slipped down the policy agenda in the UK and internationally. Osler and Vincent argue for a re-definition of school exclusion which covers the types of exclusion commonly experienced by girls, such as truancy, self-exclusion or school dropout as a result of pregnancy. Drawing on girls' own ideas, the authors make recommendations as to how schools might develop as more inclusive communities where the needs of both boys and girls are addressed equally. The book is essential reading for postgraduate students, teachers, policy-makers and LEA staff dedicated to genuine social and educational inclusion.
