A blueprint for structuring the school environment around teacher learning and collaboration as a foundation for equitable learning and student engagement In Learning Together, Elham Kazemi, Jessica Calabrese, Teresa Lind, Becca Lewis, Alison Fox Resnick, and Lynsey K. Gibbons share findings from their decade of experience in nurturing collaborative learning cultures in elementary schools. The work offers guidance for intentionally and explicitly organizing educational institutions to prioritize and support teacher learning, which can, as the authors show, create flourishing learning systems for teachers and students alike. As part of research-practice partnerships in six US elementary schools engaged in school improvement efforts, the authors observed that such deliberate school reorganization is the first step in meaningfully shifting practices from teacher-centered, procedure-based learning to student-centered, discussion-intensive learning that develops student agency. Through interviews with teachers and members of instructional leadership teams, they illustrate the myriad benefits of mutual learning in which educators are encouraged to grow their practice as part of teacher teams and as members of a likeminded professional community. The authors recommend practical actions—from establishing vision-driven hiring and retention practices to aligning resources such as time, funding, and professional development opportunities—that can help to cultivate a schoolwide ethos of instructional collaboration. The wisdom highlighted in this work will be invaluable for teachers, instructional coaches, principals, district leaders, and anyone who makes decisions for students or teachers.

The book "From the Old Land" is a summary of the Ferdowsi's Shahnameh tales. Elham Dabiran, the Compiler of this book tried to convert the stories from verse to prose in the book. The language used in the writing of the book is simple and fluent. The compiler's self-point of view is avoided in the process of tales and concepts in order to keep the faithfulness of Ferdowsi's point of view. The compiler's effort was choosing to use simple and common words to attract the attention of the audience to the concepts and beauties of Ferdowsi's song instead of using complicated words so that it can be understandable for readers. As reading Shahnameh and complete understanding of its concepts are difficult and time-consuming for most of the Iranian youths and nowadays generation due to the large volume of contents and difficulty of its verse language, it makes double the worth of the book "From the Old Land".کتاب از سرزمین کهن، خلاصه ای از داستان های شاهنامه فردوسی می باشد. بانو الهام دبیران در این کتاب، سعی بر آن داشته که خلاصه ای از داستان های شاهنامه فردوسی را، از زبان شعر به زبان نثر درآورد. زبان نوشتار او در گردآوری این کتاب، ساده و روان است و در نهایت امانتداری نسبت به حفظ دیدگاه فردوسی، از هرگونه اِعمال سلیقه ی شخصی در رَوَند بیان داستان ها و مفاهیم او، دوری گزیده است. تلاش ایشان بر آن بوده که بجای استفاده از کلمات ثقیل و دشوار، با انتخاب کلمات ساده و رایج، همسو با درک و فهم عموم، مخاطب بیشتری را جذب مفاهیم و زیبایی های سروده های فردوسی نماید. از آنجایی که خواندن شاهنامه و درک منظور فردوسی با توجه به حجم زیاد مطالب شاهنامه و دشواری زبان نظم ابیات آن، برای بسیاری از جوانان و نسل امروز ایران، سخت و وقتگیر است، ارزش کتاب از سرزمین کهن را دو چندان می کند.

The rhetoric of cultural identity generally goes in two potential directions: One a universal line that insists on an overall pattern of integration and harmony among all peoples regardless of their differences, and the other a line which suggests that various cultures are so specific and different that they will eventually enter into clash, violence and war. Drawing upon Derrida's concept of differance, I will point out that such rhetoric as examples of current political discourses fail to open the concept of cultural identity through redefining its relationship with otherness. This will be accompanied by poetry of Rumi and Whitman to suggest that their literary language through its non-dialectic characteristics is familiar with the problematic of identity and has the ability to form a cross-cultural dialogue. Sufism And Transcendentalism envisages the possibility of dialogue against the background of political conflict.
This book suggests an innovative theoretical framework to understand the meltdown and civil wars of countries such as Yemen, Syria, and Libya after their 2011 uprisings, using Yemen as a case study. The interaction between different types of state formation and regional rivalry can explain, respectively, the civil wars of these countries and the preservation of the Bahraini system, despite its ethnic nature. The analysis works on two interconnected levels: First, an internal level focusing on the state formation of the country in question; and second, a regional level examining the operational context within which each country functions, and the type of actors involved in its political affairs. The recurrent instability in Yemen has been a result of overlapping group grievances repeatedly rising to the surface. This reflects a process of different attempts at state formation that ultimately failed to produce a modern state, along with core elites defined by (and at the same time exploiting) ethnic markers, perpetually infighting throughout Yemeni history. These three elements—tensions between groups, unsuccessful state formations, and the ethnic markers of its elites—stand at the core of the Yemeni dilemma. This book is based on original archival research and more than 100 interviews conducted by the author with all parties of the Yemeni Civil War and with other regional actors.

This book offers an original empirical study into the gendered and sexual experiences of Iranian Muslim women going through menopause. Using a biographical lifecourse lens, it explores the processes through which these experiences are shaped by hegemonic gender norms, as well as how these women express their agency. Centering the voices of Iranian Muslim women, this book links sexuality, ageing, and the body to the matter of menopause, conceived here as a gendered, embodied and lived phenomenon characterised both by cultural constraint and by individual reflexive body techniques. By considering gender and sexuality as vectors of power with internal politics, inequalities, and oppression alongside embodied practice, the author shows how the life course provides a trajectory of sex and sexuality that routes both in time, space, social and cultural context.
