About the Authors

Sommario/riassunto

Agency through Teacher Education: Reflection, Community, and Learning addresses the ways that agency functions for those involved in twenty-first-century teacher education. This book, commissioned by the Association of Teacher Educators, relies on the voices of teacher education candidates, in-service teachers, school leaders, and university-based educators to illustrate what agency looks like, sounds like, and feels like for people trying to act as agents of change.

Sommario/riassunto

This book features the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Symposium on Fundamentals of Computation Theory. Thirty-nine full papers are presented along with four invited papers. The papers address all current topics in computation theory, including automata and formal languages, design and analysis of algorithms, computational and structural complexity, semantics, logic, circuits and networks, learning theory, and more.
