Man-Made
Title: Man-Made: How the bias of the past is being built into the future
Author: Tracey Spicer
Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer exposes the next frontier of feminism. Man-Made aims to open readersâ eyes to a transformative technological shift in society and give them the tools to make positive change.
`Mum, I want a robot slave.â
Broadcaster Tracey Spicer had an epiphany when her young son uttered these six words. Suddenly, her lifeâs work fighting inequality seemed futile. Whatâs the point in agitating to change the present, if bigotry is being embedded into our futures?
And so began a quest to uncover who was responsible and hold them to account. Who is the ultimate villain? Big Tech, whose titans refuse to spend money to fix the problem? The worldâs politicians, who lack the will to legislate? Or should we all be walking into a hall of mirrors and taking a good, hard look at ourselvesâŚ?
This is a deeply researched, illuminating and gripping ride into an uncertain future, culminating in a resounding call to action that will shake the tech sector to its foundations.

Teaching the Best Practice Way : Methods That Matter K-12
Teaching the Best Practice Way : Methods That Matter K-12
Authors: Harvey Daniels, Marilyn Bizar
Everyone talks about âbest practiceâ teaching, but what does it actually look like in the classroom? How do working teachers translate complex curriculum standards into simple, workable classroom structures that embody exemplary instruction and still let kids find joy in learning?
In Teaching the Best Practice Way, Harvey Daniels and Marilyn Bizar present seven basic teaching structures that make classrooms more active, experiential, collaborative, democratic and cognitive, while simultaneously meeting best practice standards across learning areas and throughout the year levels. Each chapter begins with an essay outlining one key method, providing its historical background and research results, and then describing the structureâs vital features. Next, several teachers representing different year levels and school communities explain how they adopted the basic model, adapted it to their studentsâ needs and made it their own.
Teaching the Best Practice Way fully updates and expands the authorsâ earlier book, Methods That Matter. Stories from twenty celebrated teachers from around the US â including James Beane, Donna Ogle and Franki Sibberson â have been added, and a new chapter focuses on reading-as-thinking. This chapter details the ways teacher can nurture strategic readers â readers who not only deeply understand the printed materials they encounter in school, but who also bring these cognitive strategies to their âreadingâ of film, art, music and their experience of the world. The book also shares new research studies that validate the principles and activities of best practice teaching, along with lists of recommended materials that support each of the seven methods.
Unique in the field, Teaching the Best Practice Way speaks to all teachers, Fâ12, with stories, examples and practical classroom materials for teachers of all children. This is the book for teachers and schools that believe the big ideas about teaching really do cross all year levels and
learning areas. Education professors will also find this an ideal resource foruse in methods courses.

The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety
The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety :
Defining the Path to Inclusion and Innovation
Timothy R. Clark
This is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their organization, creating an environment where employees feel fully engaged and encouraged to contribute their best ideas.
Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Timothy Clark, a social scientist and an organizational consultant, provides a framework to move people through successive stages of psychological safety. The first stage is member safety--the team accepts you and grants you shared identity. Learner safety, the second stage, indicates that you feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes. Next is the third stage of contributor safety, where you feel comfortable participating as an active and full-fledged member of the team. Finally, the fourth stage of challenger safety allows you to take on the status quo without repercussion, reprisal, or the risk of tarnishing your personal standing and reputation. This is a blueprint for how any leader can build positive, supportive, and encouraging cultures in any setting.
