B 97169B 97169 180 DAYS: Two Teachers and the Quest to Engage and Empower Adolescents
Grade Lvl: T Author: Gallagher, Kelly / Kittle, Penny
Length: 233 Copyright: 2018

Kelly Gallagher and Penny Kittle mapped out a year of engaging literacy practices aligned to their core beliefs about what matters most. They share their insights on managing time tasks and offer teaching strategies for engaging students in both whole class and independent work. Two teachers. Two classrooms. One school year. 180 Days represents the collaboration of two master teachers-Kelly Gallagher and Penny Kittle-over an entire school year: planning, teaching, and reflecting within their own and each other's classrooms in California and New Hampshire. Inspired by a teacher's question, "How do you fit it all in?" they identified and prioritized the daily, essential, belief-based practices that are worth spending time on. They asked, "Who will these students be as readers and writers after a year under our care?" What we make time for matters: what we plan, how we revise our plans while teaching, and how we reflect and decide what's next. The decision-making in the moment is the most essential work of teaching, and it's the ongoing study of the adolescents in front of us that has the greatest impact on our thinking. With both the demands of time and the complexity of diverse students in mind, Kelly and Penny mapped out a year of engaging literacy practices aligned to their core beliefs about what matters most. They share their insights on managing time and tasks and offer teaching strategies for engaging students in both whole class and independent work. Video clips of Kelly and Penny teaching in each other's classrooms bring this year to life and show you what a steadfast commitment to belief-based instruction looks like in action. 180 Days. Make every moment matter. Teach fearlessly. Empower all students to live literate lives.

Length: 176 Copyright: 2020

A guide for readers who wish to integrate the PLC process into their CTE programs of study. The authors note that CTE teachers are often singleton teachers and, as a result, are often left out of the collaborative process, if they have access to one at all. The PLC system has numerous proven benefits that CTE teachers can use to develop their students' knowledge, develop rigorous academic standards and best practices, and best prepare their students for their lives post graduation. Consequently, these CTE educators need a PLC system that is structured uniquely for their situation and their fields of study. Key to developing a professional learning community consisting of multiple singleton teachers is learning how to focus on what all of these educators' fields of study have in common. Therefore, the authors provide all of the information these educators will need to define their clarity of purpose, discover their common denominators, and build a powerful collaborative process. Using this book, CTE educators and singleton teachers will learn the vital strategies necessary for team building and improvement and the creation of customizable collaborative processes.

B 97148B 97148 Connected Reading: Teaching Adolescent Readers in a Digital World
Grade Lvl: T Author: Turner, Kristen Hawley / Hicks, Troy
Length: 179 Copyright: 2015

As readers of all ages increasingly turn to the Internet and a variety of electronic devices for both informational and leisure reading, teachers need to reconsider not just who and what teens read but where and how they read as well. Having ready access to digital tools and texts doesn't mean that middle and high school students are automatically thoughtful, adept readers. So how can we help adolescents become critical readers in a digital age? Using NCTE's policy research brief Reading Instruction for All Students as both guide and sounding board, experienced teacher-researchers Kristen Hawley Turner and Troy Hicks took their questions about adolescent reading practices to a dozen middle and high school classrooms. In this book, they report on their interviews and survey data from visits with hundreds of teens, which led to the development of their model of Connected Reading: "Digital tools, used mindfully, enable connections. Digital reading is connected reading." They argue that we must teach adolescents how to read digital texts effectively, not simply expect that teens can read them because they know how to use digital tools. Turner and Hicks offer practical tips by highlighting classroom practices that engage students in reading and thinking with both print and digital texts, thus encouraging reading instruction that reaches all students.

B 97362B 97362 Engagement is Not a Unicorn (It’s a Narwhal): Mind-Changing Theory and Strategies That Will Create Real Engagement
Grade Lvl: T Author: Lyon, Heather
Length: 292 Copyright: 2020

Despite the fact that unicorns are not real, you undoubtedly know what a unicorn is. Despite the fact that narwhals ARE real, you may not know what a narwhal is. In schools, we think that engagement at the highest level like it's a unicorn-something we've heard of, but know isn't real. 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: 147 Copyright: 2018

The advent of the 24-hour news cycle, citizen journalism and an increased reliance on social media as a trusted news source have had a profound effect not only on how we get our news, but also on how we evaluate sources of information, share that information and interact with others in online communities. When these issues are coupled with the “fake news” industry that intentionally spreads false stories designed to go viral, educators are left facing a new and challenging landscape. This book will help them address these new realities. Fact vs. Fiction provides educators with tools and resources to help students discern fact from fiction in the information they access not only at school, but on the devices they carry in their pockets and backpacks.

Length: 152 Copyright: 2013

Close reading can be rigorous, meaningful, and joyous. You'll empower students to not only analyze texts but to admire the craft of a beloved book, study favorite songs and videogames, and challenge peers in evidence-based discussions. Chris and Kate start with a powerful three-step close-reading ritual that students can apply to any text. Then they lay out practical, engaging lessons that not only guide students to independence in reading texts closely but also help them transfer this critical, analytical skill to media and even the lives they lead. Responsive to students' needs and field-tested in classrooms, these lessons include: strategies for close reading narratives, informational texts, and arguments suggestions for differentiation sample charts and student work from real classrooms connections to the Common Core State Standards a focus on viewing media and life in this same careful way. "We see the ritual of close reading not just as a method of doing the academic work of looking closely at text-evidence, word choice, and structure," write Chris and Kate, "but as an opportunity to bring those practices together to empower our students to see the subtle messages in texts and in their lives."

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.

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.

The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, teachers will find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help engage students in math by looking at the big ideas at the third-grade level through visualization, play, and investigation. During their work with tens of thousands of teachers, authors Jo Boaler, Jen Munson, and Cathy Williams heard the same message—that they want to incorporate more brain science into their math instruction, but they need guidance in the techniques that work best to get across the concepts they needed to teach. So the authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

Engage students in mathematics using growth mindset techniques. The most challenging parts of teaching mathematics are engaging students and helping them understand the connections between mathematics concepts. In this volume, teachers will find a collection of low floor, high ceiling tasks that will help engage students in math by looking at the big ideas at the kindergarten level through visualization, play, and investigation.The authors designed Mindset Mathematics around the principle of active student engagement, with tasks that reflect the latest brain science on learning. Open, creative, and visual math tasks have been shown to improve student test scores, and more importantly change their relationship with mathematics and start believing in their own potential. The tasks in Mindset Mathematics reflect the lessons from brain science that: There is no such thing as a math person - anyone can learn mathematics to high levels. Mistakes, struggle and challenge are the most important times for brain growth. Speed is unimportant in mathematics. Mathematics is a visual and beautiful subject, and our brains want to think visually about mathematics. With engaging questions, open-ended tasks, and four-color visuals that will help kids get excited about mathematics, Mindset Mathematics is organized around nine big ideas which emphasize the connections within the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and can be used with any current curriculum.

Explores the concept of mental models in relation to the learning of science and how we can apply this understanding when we teach science. Practicing science teachers at all levels who want to explore new and better ways to frame and model science will find value in this book. Models-Based Science Teaching is concerned with building models of learning that help students of all ages understand four basic ideas: •Learning involves constructing mental models that are by nature simplified and subject to change. •These models are adopted because they work and not necessarily because they are the only true and most effective ways of understanding the world. •No one has a complete grasp of any model, and most of the time we are working with approximations of a situation. •What we create when we communicate are expressions of our inner mental models.

The power of professional learning communities to create thriving cultures of achievement within career and technical education. This book highlights how CTE experiences allow students and adult learners alike to realize new potential within themselves. The answer lies in teacher-driven change. Dr. Adams contends that in order to build efficacy in students, CTE teachers need support to build their own efficacy around instruction. PLC in CTE details how adult learners strengthen both individual and collective efficacy as educators—following the PLC frameworks of inquiry, research and the science of learning. Adult learners learn best when they transition between individual reflection and small group collaborative sessions. We need collaboration around high evidence-based instructional practices that embody career and technical experiences.

This CD/book package is half the first version's price and more versatile! While originally developed for use with students with social cognitive learning challenges (Asperger's, high-functioning autism, ADHD, etc.), these strategies can easily be applied to any child who needs that strong visual reminder - a more powerful teacher than an adult's "nag." This CD/book package allows for a student to learn a strategy presented in the book, then the instructor sticks the strategy sticker in a flip notebook. The student carries the flipbook with him/her throughout the day. With the flipbook, the student can easily and discretely refer to the strategies s/he already learned to solve problems with independence. The result is fewer behavioral breakdowns and classroom disruptions, while teaching self-reliance and problem-solving anytime, anywhere. This is a great tool for a student who recognizes his/her weaknesses and is motivated to improve. This tool is not effective for students who either don't realize that they need improvement or who aren't motivated to help themselves. Enhanced strategies include those for: Asking for Help; Emotions and Problem Solving; Organization, Writing and Homework; Group Work; Social Thinking; Family Time - Home Strategies This innovative tool is best for 3rd grade to 12th grade students.
