Throughout this chapter the authors are going to present a didactic proposal, called “Lights, Camera, and Action” that is arranged to be carried out with three-year-old boys and girls and consists of five sessions, which will be spread over 15 days, and physical activity will be performed twice a week. In this proposal, topics like the typical in the performing arts such as circus, theater, dance, and music are explored. In this playful and motivating way, physical activity will be promoted, through our own content such as jumps, turns, and different types of balance. The didactic proposal contains objectives, competences, and contents, regulated by the Curriculum Decree 67/2007 establishing Early Childhood Education in the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain).

Critical thinking, once promoted in classrooms only for gifted and talented students, is now found to be in the curriculum for every student. Why is this the case? We are experiencing a fast and complex shift in the global workforce where many routine and rote skills have been replaced with the need for analytical and communication skills. Today's worker not only has to problem solve on the job but must work collaboratively with others to get the job done efficiently. At the same time, this modern-day worker must learn how to adapt to a constant changing workforce. Therefore, it is important to prepare our students by teaching them how to critically think, a learning skill needed to adequately prepare our students for the 21st century, not just for their future workforce, but for their success in school and their personal, social, and emotional lives.

Secondary school as a gateway for the development of other sectors of the educational system provides primary school leavers with the opportunity for qualitative education, the platform for skills and knowledge for vocational work, or higher institutions admission. In Nigeria, public discussions frequently focus on educational standards. This study aims to examine the influence of students' reading habits on students' academic performance. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The schools in Ibadan North LGA were randomly selected, making a total of five schools. Each of the participants was randomly selected, totaling 300 students. There was a significant positive relationship between student reading habits and student academic performance (r = 0.84). At F=1.31, there is no significant difference in the reading habit of male and female students. Reading habit enhances the academic performance of students. Therefore, students should be encouraged to inculcate in them the reading habit by providing enabling environment and infrastructures that will stimulate students to read.
中学作为教育系统其他部门发展的门户，为小学毕业生提供了接受素质教育的机会，为职业工作提供了技能和知识的平台，或进入高等院校。在尼日利亚，公众讨论经常集中在教育标准上。本研究旨在探讨学生阅读习惯对学生学业成绩的影响。采用描述性调查设计。Ibadan North LGA的学校是随机选择的，总共有5所学校。每个参与者都是随机选择的，总共有300名学生。学生阅读习惯与学习成绩呈显著正相关(r = 0.84)。在F=1.31时，男女学生的阅读习惯没有显著差异。阅读习惯可以提高学生的学习成绩。因此，应该鼓励学生通过提供激励学生阅读的环境和基础设施来培养他们的阅读习惯。

Given the issue of heritage language (HL) development or attrition among children of immigrants in the U.S., this study examines Korean emergent bilingual students' HL use and translanguaging practices in an HL classroom. To extend our understanding of immigrant families' vital roles in their children's establishment of bilingualism, the study further explores the role of immigrant Korean families' language practices and attitudes towards their children's bilingualism. The chapter addresses the following research question: What was the relationship between the parents' attitudes toward bilingualism and their children's language use and translanguaging performance in an HL classroom? The findings show the emergent bilingual students' classroom language use, including their translanguaging performance and the immigrant parents' views and practices towards their children's development of bilingualism. The findings indicate that there is a close relationship between parents' attitudes and practices at home and the children's language use and development both in Korean and English.

Communication is an essential 21st century learning skill and is ranked high among a job candidate's “must have” skills and qualities. In the global workplace, communication is a key element in effective collaboration and teamwork. Employers are seeking candidates who are adept in various forms of communication and show signs of empathy to others by the manner they listen and respond. Communication skills are in alignment with social-emotional learning. Through effective communication, young people can build positive relationships with others to collaborate, and they learn to be self and socially aware through effective listening and mutual perspective taking. Educators must begin to think about the real-world challenges of communication skills and how to incorporate practical strategies that address these skills in their daily lessons to optimize student success in their daily and academic lives as well as their future lives in the workplace.

Creativity is needed now to solve problems, develop products, and become better thinkers. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused people to think differently in every aspect of our society. We now need to help students learn how to think more creatively, how to collaborate with others, and how to implement innovations. However, many students face challenges that affect their social and emotional learning, thus negatively impacting their creativity. Teachers can employ different strategies and skills that can break through these barriers and develop a systems approach that can produce student creative success. There are many technical and non-technical skills and strategies for creative thinking, collaboration, and innovation implementation that teachers can use. If used jointly, these skills and strategies will generate a management systems approach to creativity.

This chapter describes the development of an undergraduate course focused on exploring children's literature using a critical lens. Descriptions of course assignments and activities are provided to illustrate how pre-service teachers engaged in learning how to identify and evaluate diverse books. Additionally, reflections provide insights into the lived experiences of the students enrolled in the class and the faculty member who created the course. The course framework emphasizes the importance of providing culturally relevant texts that reflect the cultures and identities of readers ages 3-12. This framework aligns with the seminal work of Bishop's “Windows, Mirrors, and Sliding Glass Doors” that described the importance of children accessing books that are windows into other experiences, books that mirror their own lived experiences, and sliding glass doors that children can walk into the other world created by the author.

The chapter introduces attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and provides an insight into the condition, its causes, treatment, and rehabilitation. The chapter aims to briefly cover the major aspects of the condition. It touches on the role of assessment tools and protocols followed to diagnose and treat ADHD. The content will cover causes of ADHD, reported from research done so far, and changes in the displayed symptoms as a child grows into an adult. Additionally, comorbid conditions which occur along with ADHD are introduced, including the variations among children and adults. Finally, the role of technology in treatments, assessments, and as a support system are presented. The chapter is not an exhaustive guide but a primer to the condition.

Preservice teachers in educator preparation programs (EPPs) are rarely cognizant of programmatic structures outside their own EPP. This lack of awareness isolates preservice teachers within their own programs and university cultures. As teacher educators, the authors wondered: How might interacting with peers in other EPPs bolster our preservice teachers' disciplinary literacies, praxis, and cultural competency? How might cross-institutional virtual interaction expand preservice teachers' pre-professional networking opportunities? Virtual book clubs offer a structured way for preservice teachers to experience peer interaction across institutions and cultural contexts. These book clubs provide opportunities for preservice teachers to explore a diverse array of cultural, societal, and professional perspectives as they prepare to enter teaching as young professionals.
