Your students explore freely, moving a "turtle" around the screen using letter commands. They experience a mathematical environment first-hand, making discoveries that will stay with them. Kinderlogo converts these commands that younger learners find difficult to type into single keystrokes. They press F to make the turtle go forward, R to make it turn to the right, and L to make it turn to the left. They soon want to know how to start a New picture. Within minutes, students are exploring to see what the turtle can do and what happens when it reaches the edge of the screen. They explore patterns and create original designs. The possibilities are endless and support creativity and collaboration. Kit is intended for students in grades K-3. Kit also includes pen holder and pusher. |

B 97168B 97168 Being the Change: Lessons and Strategies to Teach Social Comprehension
Grade Lvl: T Author: Ahmed, Sara K
Length: 139 Copyright: 2018
Topics such as race, gender, politics, religion, and sexuality are part of our students' lives, yet when these subjects are brought up at school teachers often struggle with how to respond. How do we create learning conditions where kids can ask the questions they want to ask, muddle through how to say the things they are thinking, and have tough conversations? How can we be proactive and take steps to engaging in the types of conversations where risk is high but the payoff could be even greater? Being the Change is based on the idea that people can develop skills and habits to serve them in the comprehension of social issues. Sara K. Ahmed identifies and unpacks the skills of social comprehension, providing teachers with tools and activities that help students make sense of themselves and the world as they navigate relevant topics in today's society. Each chapter includes clear, transferrable lessons and practical strategies that help students learn about a targeted social comprehension concept. From exploring identity and diversity to understanding and addressing biases and microaggressions, Sara demonstrates how to address real issues honestly in the classroom while honoring and empowering students. Dealing with social issues is uncomfortable and often messy, but you can build habitats of trust where kids and adults can make their thinking visible and cultivate empathy; where expression, identity, and social literacy matter. There is no magic formula for making the world a better place. It happens in the moments we embrace discomfort and have candid conversations. |

KM 12939KM 12939 Code Hopper-Computer Coding Fun
Grade Lvl: K Author:
Length: 0 Copyright: 2017
Introduction to computer coding in a hop, skip and a jump! Your young learner will hop through a sequence he or she creates after placing the bright foam mats one by one. Guide your child through the logic of programming while keeping his or her body busy and active. Our bright foam mats link together to create a flowchart of fun and stimulate the logic of computer coding. This fun interactive activity will build a foundation for future STEM success while also building big muscle groups, improving balance and coordination! Includes 12 Two-sided Mats and a Parent Guide. Although very simple to play, Code Hopper teaches the advanced concept of algorithmic thinking. This programming fundamental has three basic elements: SEQUENCING (DO this) Code Hopper’s Action mats tell your child what to do. When your child puts them in a sequence, he or she creates the “program”. CONDITIONALS (IF-THEN) Yes and No mats extend the programming to include decision making. The Yes and No mats “branch” off, so the path your child will take may change based on the conditions. REPETITION (REPEAT) The third concept of programming and algorithmic thinking is repetition. Computers are able to repeat things thousands of times with the same results- something humans are usually less successful at because eventually a mistake is made. In programming you can repeat a single action or an entire sequence. This active game keeps bodies busy while developing their young minds! |

Grade Lvl: KP Author:
Length: 0 Copyright: 2016
The Code-a-pillar kit is a unique caterpillar learning toy that encourages kids to experiment as they play, helping them to develop problem-solving, planning & sequencing and critical thinking skills. Students become big thinkers by arranging (and rearranging) the easy-to-connect segments in endless combinations, sending Code-a-pillar on its path. This learning toy encourages experimentation while developing important skills like problem solving, planning & sequencing and critical thinking. Kids discover that their actions make things happen (cause & effect.) There's no end to the combinations kids can make – mix up the segments and put them back together to send Code-a-pillar in a different direction. Kit Includes 1 motorized head, 1 sound segment, 3 straights, 2 right turns and 2 left turns, and a red start arrow and green end star to send the learning fun in endless directions. Each segment lights up as the Code-a-pillar follows the sequence students create. Students can even configure the segments to make Code-a-pillar reach targets they set up throughout the room. It requires 4 AA alkaline batteries (included). For students in grades K-2. |

B 97422B 97422 Design Thinking for Training and Development
Grade Lvl: T Author: Boller, Sharon / Fletcher, Laura
Length: 266 Copyright: 2020
Offers a primer on design thinking, a human-centered process and problem-solving methodology that focuses on involving users of a solution in its design. For effective design thinking, talent development professionals need to go beyond the user experience, and incorporate the learner experience. In this how-to guide for applying design thinking tools and techniques, Sharon Boller and Laura Fletcher share how they adapted the traditional design thinking process for training and development projects. Their process involves steps to: Get perspective. Refine the problem. Ideate and prototype. Iterate (develop, test, pilot, and refine). Implement. Design thinking is about balancing the three forces on training and development programs: learner wants and needs, business needs, and constraints. Learn how to get buy-in from skeptical stakeholders. Discover why taking requests for training, gathering the perspective of stakeholders and learners, and crafting problem statements will uncover the true issue at hand. Two in-depth case studies show how the authors made design thinking work. Job aids and tools featured in this book include: a strategy blueprint to uncover what a stakeholder is trying to solve an empathy map to capture the learner's thoughts, actions, motivators, and challenges an experience map to better understand how the learner performs. With its hands-on, use-it-today approach, this book will get you started on your own journey to applying design thinking. |

B 96768B 96768 Hungry Mind: The Origins of Curiosity in Childhood
Grade Lvl: T Author: Engel, Susan
Length: 232 Copyright: 2015
The author claims that despite American education’s recent mania for standardized tests, testing misses what really matters about learning: the desire to learn in the first place. The Hungry Mind is an exploration of what curiosity is, how it can be measured, how it develops in childhood, and how it can be fostered in school. Children naturally possess an active interest in knowing more about the world around them. But what begins as a robust trait becomes more fragile over time, and is shaped by experiences with parents, teachers, peers, and the learning environment. Susan Engel highlights the centrality of language and question-asking as crucial tools for expressing curiosity. She also uncovers overlooked forms of curiosity, such as gossip―an important way children satisfy their interest in other people. Although curiosity leads to knowledge, it can stir up trouble, and schools too often have an incentive to squelch it in favor of compliance and discipline. Balanced against the interventions of hands-on instructors and hovering parents, Engel stresses the importance of time spent alone, which gives children a chance to tinker, collect, read about the things that interest them, and explore their own thoughts. In addition to providing a theoretical framework for the psychology of curiosity, The Hungry Mind offers educators practical ways to put curiosity at the center of the classroom and encourage children’s natural eagerness to learn. |

Grade Lvl: T Author: Sinek, Simon
Length: 256 Copyright: 2011
In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY. |
