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. |

We should be thinking of engagement in schools as a narwhal-something that we may not know much about, but is absolutely real and can be found right in your own school. In this book, Heather Lyon creates a common understanding of what engagement looks and sounds like so that anyone can design and gauge instruction using this understanding. More importantly, with this knowledge educators can make changes to instruction to truly increase student engagement. |

Length: 135 Copyright: 2017
Special education teachers, as a significant segment of the teaching profession, came into their own with the passage of Public Law 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, in 1975. Since then, although the number of special education teachers has grown substantially it has not kept pace with the demand for their services and expertise. The roles and practice of special education teachers have continuously evolved as the complexity of struggling learners unfolded, along with the quest for how best to serve and improve outcomes for this diverse group of students. High-Leverage Practices in Special Education defines the activities that all special educators needed to be able to use in their classrooms, from Day One. HLPs are organized around four aspects of practice collaboration, assessment, social/emotional/behavioral practices, and instruction because special education teachers enact practices in these areas in integrated and reciprocal ways. The HLP Writing Team is a collaborative effort of the Council for Exceptional Children, its Teacher Education Division, and the CEEDAR Center; its members include practitioners, scholars, researchers, teacher preparation faculty, and education advocates. |

Length: 360 Copyright: 2017
Educators Brent Duckor and Carrie Holmberg invite you on the journey to becoming a formative assessor. Authors encourage educators to focus on these seven research-based, high-leverage formative assessment moves: Priming—building on background knowledge and creating a formative assessment rich, equitable classroom culture. Posing—asking questions in relation to learning targets across the curriculum that elicit Habits of Mind. Pausing—waiting after powerful questions and rich tasks to encourage more student responses by supporting them to think aloud and use speaking and listening skills related to academic language. Probing—deepening discussions, asking for elaborations, and making connections using sentence frames and starters. Bouncing—sampling student responses systematically to broaden participation, manage flow of conversation, and gather more "soft data" for instructional use. Tagging—describing and recording student responses without judgment and making public how students with different styles and needs approach learning in real-time. Binning—interpreting student responses with a wide range of tools, categorizing misconceptions and "p-prims," and using classroom generated data to make more valid and reliable instructional decisions on next steps in the lesson and unit. Each chapter explores a classroom-tested move, including foundational research, explaining how and when to best use it, and describing what it looks like in practice. Highlights include case studies, try-now tasks and tips, and advice from beginning and seasoned teachers who use these formative assessment moves in their classrooms. |

B 97536B 97536 Teens' Workbook to Self Regulate
Grade Lvl: T Author: Bass, Richard
Length: 115 Copyright: 2022
Subtitle: Empowering Teenagers to Handle Emotions with Success through Coping Strategies and CBT Exercises. Research shows that modern teenagers experience similar stress levels as adults. However, unlike adults who have been exposed to various coping mechanisms, young people are often confused about ways to cope with stress. The Teens' Workbook to Self-Regulate is a valuable resource that introduces modern teenagers to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a form of psychotherapy created to develop emotional regulation and behavioral modification skills. The workbook is broken down into two parts: cognitive techniques and behavioral techniques, and provides teens with exercises that reinforce the following self-regulating skills:
Understanding the impact of negative thinking in shaping beliefs, motivations, and worldviews.
Learning how to identify, describe, and manage strong emotions without hurting themselves or others.
Finding healthy alternative strategies to cope with stress and anxiety without succumbing to urges.
Knowing how and when to stop, breathe, and return to a normal state when feeling overwhelmed.
These skills—and many more—are taught over 42 age-appropriate exercises, which are designed to help teens between the ages of 13 and 19 reflect on their personal life experiences and examine their own thoughts and behaviors. |

B 97096B 97096 Understanding Texts & Readers: Responsive Comprehension Instruction with Leveled Texts
Grade Lvl: T Author: Serravallo, Jennifer
Length: 278 Copyright: 2018
Understanding Texts & Readers makes comprehension make sense. Jennifer Serravallo narrows the distance between assessment and instruction. She maps the four fiction and four nonfiction comprehension goals she presented in The Reading Strategies Book to fourteen text levels and shares sample responses that show what to expect from readers at each. Jen simplifies text complexity and clarifies comprehension instruction. She begins by untangling the many threads of comprehension: Levels, engagement, stamina, the relevance of texts, and much more. Then level by level she: •calls out with precision how plot and setting, character, vocabulary and figurative language, and themes and ideas change as fiction across levels •specifies how the complexity of main idea, key details, vocabulary, and text features increases in nonfiction texts •points out what to expect from a reader as text characteristics change •provides samples of student responses to texts at each level •shares progressions across levels to support instructional planning. Even if you haven't read the book your reader is responding to, you'll have the background necessary to make great teaching decisions for all your readers. "Understanding subtle shifts and increases in demands from level to level," writes Jennifer Serravallo, "can guide what a teacher asks a student, what the teacher expects of the student, and what the teacher, therefore, teaches the student." |
