        Cue and Cut

        A practical approach to working in multi-camera studios

        by Roger Singleton-Turner

        Cue & Cut is a 'practical approach to working in television studios' for anyone who might want to work in that medium. It's full of useful information about kit, and how you would use it to create multi-camera content. Written by a multi-camera producer-director with years of drama and teaching experience, it presents both a way of handling studios and a source of information about how things have changed from the days of monochrome to HD tapeless modes - with some thoughts on 3D HDTV The book is firmly based in first-hand teaching experience and experience of producing, direction, floor managing (and so on) and on working with top flight Actors, Writers, Musicians, Designers of all disciplines and Sound and Camera crews, both at the BBC and in ITV. The book will certainly cover multi-camera aspects of Undergraduate, HND and B.Tech courses and should be useful to those on short courses, whether practical or post-graduate.

        Researching urban space and the built environment

        by Jonathan Blaney, Simon Trafford, Jasmine Kilburn-Toppin, Elaine Tierney, Charlotte Wildman

        Researching urban space and the built environment is a succinct guide for historians keen to explore the spatial dimensions of the past. Written in a clear and lively style, it equips readers with the tools to effectively plan, research and write innovative spatial histories. By outlining and summarizing the theories and methodologies particularly pertinent to spatial research, and by providing hands-on advice on locating evidence and archives, the book supports researchers in the development of their own original projects. Through engagement with a great array of primary evidence, and pertinent historiographical case-studies, the guide opens up a huge variety of research possibilities. This book is the ideal research companion for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and independent researchers. It is especially tailored for students in history and related disciplines in the humanities encountering spatial themes and methodologies for the first time.

        Metacognition

        The Neglected Skill Set for Empowering Students

        by Robin Fogarty, Brian Pete

        How do we prepare our students for the test of life? We teach them how to learn when they are not being taught! In other words, we give them the gift of self-reflection, self-awareness, self-initiative, self-direction, self-assessment and self-regulation – the gift of knowing when they know, and when they don’t know. Metacognition: The neglected skill set for empowering students is written with the teacher in mind. It is more practical than theoretical, but most definitely grounded in research findings and connected to emergent data. With the thirty ready-to-use metacognitive strategies in this book, teachers will deepen learning for their students through explicit reflections on planning, monitoring and evaluating their own work. As students learn how to ‘think about their own thinking’, they become more aware and, thus, better able to make adjustments on their own work. They gain a sense of ownership, and teachers get results they can count on through student empowerment. Metacognition is like magic for twenty-first century classrooms – it changes student behaviours before your eyes.

        Thinking About Thinking in IB Schools

        by Robin Fogarty, Brian Pete

        Thinking about thinking in IB schools: How we know what we know by Robin Fogarty and Brian Pete is intended to complement and supplement the curriculum framework of international schools, particularly those that utilise the International Baccalaureate program. Undergirdings the book, ‘How do we know what we know?’ is the quintessential question that drives our quest to learn, explore, investigate and, in the end, validate and justify. The discussions within this resource target the micro-skills of thinking, or the ‘think links’ that act like connectors between subject matter and relevant processes across and within learning areas. These target skills include analysing, evaluating, comparing and contrasting, generalising, making inferences, discerning cause and effect, imagining, visualising and hypothesising. Each chapter features instructional strategies to teach, practise and apply deeper thinking with the rich and rigorous content of the international curriculum. Within Thinking about thinking, seven thinking skill areas are delineated and each of the seven chapters features lively discussion, explicit ways of thinking about particular ways of thinking and engaging strategies to involve students in the act of deep thinking about the required content. In addition, the chapters showcase compelling stories that serve to illustrate key points and offer specific and explicit transfer strategies to foster immediate, authentic transfer and application to the F–12 classroom.

        Neurodevelopmental Differentiation

        Optimising Brain Systems to Maximise Learning

        by Andrew Fuller, Lucy Fuller

        Imagine a school where the motto is ‘Here, everyone gets smart’. Not just some students. Every student. Where every student and teacher knows their learning strengths and uses them to develop other areas of learning. Where all staff understand how to identify and develop collaborative approaches to overcome blockages to learning. Where parent–teacher–student meetings prioritise forward planning and the development of an individualised learning plan for the following term. This book aims to bring this school to life through the power of neurodevelopmental differentiation. In Neurodevelopmental differentiation: Optimising brain systems to maximise learning, clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller and educator Lucy Fuller make teachers’ working lives easier and more effective by helping them to detect what might be stopping students from achieving more success. Each of the chapters in this book is designed to help teachers and parents identify young people’s learning strength areas as well as ways to improve functioning in each of the eight unique brain systems: spatial reasoning, perceptual and motor skills, concentration and memory, planning and sequencing, thinking and logic, people smarts, language and word smarts, and number smarts. By designing interventions based on what students can already do well and applying these skills to areas they are yet to develop, Neurodevelopmental differentiation shows teachers how to increase their students’ motivation and excitement about learning.
