Vorgestellt werden Ergebnisse des europäischen Modellprojekts TALENTS zur schnellen Integration von Migrant:innen und Geflüchteten in den ersten Arbeitsmarkt. Ausgehend von der Idee, dass Teilhabe am Arbeitsmarkt die gesellschaftliche Integration fördert, verbindet das Trainingsmodell Arbeitserfahrungen in Betriebspraktika mit sprachlichen, kulturellen und beruflichen Inhalten, die im Klassenverband erlernt werden. Die Autor:innen evaluieren die Ergebnisse des Trainingsmodells aus drei Jahren in Norwegen, Schweden und Deutschland. Die ausgewerteten Daten spiegeln die Erfahrungen von 400 Teilnehmenden. 20 Fallstudien ermöglichen detaillierte Analysen. TALENTS wurde gefördert durch das Erasmus+ Programm der Europäischen Kommission sowie vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung. Alle TALENTS-Projektmaterialien sind unter https://talentseuproject.com verfügbar. Die Publikation richtet sich an Stakeholder der Bildung und Integration erwachsener Zugewanderter - insbesondere Leiter:innen von Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen, Lehrkräfte, Mitarbeiter:innen in Arbeitsmarktservices, Fachkräfte in Wirtschaftsverbänden, Kammern und Unternehmen sowie Akteur:innen, die Arbeitsmarktintegrationsprozesse und -programme planen und finanzieren.
The dual-credit curricular initiative offers high school students the opportunity to earn college and high school credits simultaneously without taking a standardized test to acquire the credit. The courses are purported to introduce students to a more rigorous curriculum in high school and save them time and money in their pursuit of college degrees. Dual credit programs have grown rapidly, and this monograph provides a synthesis of: • the scholarly literature on dual credit offered at high school and a variety of postsecondary settings; • underrepresented students’ experiences with the course(s), and • suggestions for future research and drivers that will influence its development. Originally, these initiatives focused on high-achieving students, but additional models have emerged that expand the benefits to lower- and middle-achieving students as well. This is the third issue of the 42nd volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.
This book continues the work of Kelli Cargile Cook and Keith Grant-Davie’s first collection, which won the 2006 National Council of Teachers of English award for Best Collection of Essays in Technical or Scientific Communication. Online Education 2.0 addresses a changing virtual landscape in which online education is expanding to include more schools, more levels of education, and a more diverse population of students, including international students. The collection asks how faculty, courses, and programs have responded and adapted to changes in students’ needs and abilities, to economic constraints, to new course management systems, and to Web 2.0 technologies such as social networking, virtual worlds, and mobile communication devices.
