473,95 kr. Tough Talk, Tough Texts is a catalyst for reminding all of us who work with young people about the danger of throwing away the lifeblood of our students' interior worlds and our own dreams of changing the world for the better.... Tough Talk, Tough Texts insists that we offer students books that are not simply larger, bulkier Hallmark cards but that instead challenge them to consider difficult issues, pushing them to think deeply and grow. Jimmy Santiago Baca Strategic reading, critical examination, and civil discourse aren't just for college preparedness--they are life skills. In Tough Talk, Tough Texts Cindy O'Donnell-Allen shares small-group instruction whose goal is to give kids the ability not merely to succeed academically, but to change their world. This isn't impractical idealism. Cindy shows step-by-step how to leverage challenging texts on challenging issues to maximize engagement and increase students' agency in reading and in life. Best of all, she shares all the know-how and nitty-gritty you'll need: scaffolds for whole-class and small-group discussions methods for grouping students, setting norms, and using response tools strategies that sustain independent discussions and document them multiple techniques for summative assessment reproducible resources such as handouts, assignment sheets, and scoring guides. Tough Talk, Tough Texts is about helping students grow as readers as they use texts to answer the big questions about themselves, their peers, and their world. "With careful preparation," writes Cindy O'Donnell-Allen, "students can learn to pose and discuss such questions, to listen and respond with empathy, and to implement strategies that will allow them to become more critical and strategic readers, writers, and thinkers."

438,95 kr. Children enter school filled with all kinds of ideas about numbers, shapes, measuring tools, time, and money--ideas formed from the expressions they hear ... the things they see on television ... the computer screen ... in children's books ... all around them. It's no wonder some children develop very interesting and perhaps incorrect ideas about mathematical concepts. "How can we connect the informal knowledge that students bring to our classrooms with the mathematics program adopted by our school system? Just as important, how do we ensure that the mathematics we are introducing and reinforcing is accurate and will not need to be re-taught in later years?" Math Misconceptions answers these questions by: identifying the most common errors relative to the five NCTM content strands (number and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis and probability); investigating the source of these misunderstandings; proposing ways to avoid as well as "undo" misconceptions. Using classroom vignettes that highlight common misconceptions in each content area, followed by applicable research about the root causes of the confusion, the authors offer numerous instructional ideas and interventions designed to prevent or correct the misconception. --Publisher's description.

428,95 kr. What if... Every year, beloved teacher and author Debbie Miller commits to trying something new. She asks a "beautiful question" that pushes her to see new possibilities and put children at the center of her teaching. She asks, "What if we did it this way?" "When we do, we're present in our teaching," she says. "We're strong enough to set aside judgment and discomfort and choose to focus on how to make things better." New opportunities for teaching and learning In What's the Best That Could Happen?, Debbie confronts a challenge all teachers face: the feeling of being stuck and the fear of trying something new. She explores how questions help us look beyond the limitations of what we've done and discover powerful new opportunities for teaching and learning. Each chapter digs into a question about teaching from Debbie's work with teachers and children across the country: What if each day's teaching focused on children's agency? What if we made what children make and do our priority? What if our classroom environment and routines offered choice? What if we owned the units we're asked to teach? What if read aloud sustained children's independent thinking? You'll find practical insights and critical understandings that will benefit you and your children. More importantly, you'll learn to ask your own beautiful questions, grapple with the messiness that surfaces, and find answers that inspire something new and worthy in your teaching.

In this book, Gianna and co-author Margaret Wilson tackles how to cultivate our own socioemotional skills so that we can become better teachers and happier people. She explains the current reality in many classrooms as a gap in our socioemotional competence: "if we aren't self-aware, we can't self-manage very well--we allow fear to block the possibility of connection or compassion, and often find ourselves in us vs. them situations. Whoever we end up against, we put great effort into minimizing their problems and perspectives, and eventually they become invisible to us. They just aren't real enough to deal with." This book will offer teachers reflective activities and models that help them transcend the momentum of fear and focus on connecting to themselves, their colleagues, children's families, and the children in their classroom"--

473,95 kr. The cure for "I hate poetry!" Your students (and maybe even you) might cringe at the word poetry. For many, poetry feels like finding the hidden meaning the poet worked so hard to hide from the reader. If poetry confuses your students, they're likely to avoid it altogether. In Whispering in the Wind, master educator Linda Rief provides a cure for poetry agony. She introduces "Heart Books," a project inspired by the Heart Maps of Georgia Heard. Linda has used Heart Books throughout her teaching career to help students read more poetry, connect with it, and see how they, too, could write poetically. Help students find (and respond to) poetry they'll love Linda explains how to create and use Heart Books in any classroom by: helping students discover poets who surprise and delight them using Heart Books as a pathway to find poetry that rings true for each student encouraging students to deepen their understanding of themselves, and others teaching students to respond to poetry with an authentic voice How do you squeeze one more unit into your curriculum? This is not a book about teaching a standalone poetry unit. Instead, you'll learn how to use transition times for this learning--all those in-between times throughout the year, such as right before a new unit, and leading up to, or returning from, vacations or holidays. Linda believes this is work worth doing in any classroom because "poetry is what 'whispers in the wind, ' guiding us toward deeper reading and a heightened awareness of what makes compelling writing."

"This book comes at just the right time, as teachers are being encouraged to re-examine current approaches to science instruction." --Lynn Rankin, Director, Institute for Inquiry, Exploratorium "Easy to read and comprehend with very explicit examples, it will be foundational for classroom teachers as they journey from novice teacher of science to expert." --Jo Anne Vasquez, Ph.D., Past President of the National Science Teachers Association "Teaching Science for Understanding is a comprehensive, exquisitely written guide and well-illustrated resource for high quality teaching and learning of inquiry-based science." --Hubert M. Dyasi, Ph.D., Professor of Science, City College and City University of New York Even though there is an unending supply of science textbooks, kits, and other resources, the practice of teaching science is more challenging than simply setting up an experiment. In Teaching Science for Understanding in Elementary and Middle Schools, Wynne Harlen focuses on why developing understanding is essential in science education and how best to engage students in activities that deepen their curiosity about the world and promote enjoyment of science. Teaching Science for Understanding in Elementary and Middle Schools centers on how to build on the ideas your students already have to cultivate the thinking and skills necessary for developing an understanding of the scientific aspects of the world, including: helping students develop and use the skills of investigation drawing conclusions from data through analyzing, interpreting, and explaining creating classrooms that encourage students to explain and justify their thinking asking productive questions to support students' understanding. Through classroom vignettes, examples, and practical suggestions at the end of each chapter, Wynne provides a compelling vision of what can be achieved through science education...and strategies that you can implement in your classroom right now.

We need answers and examples like the ones Gianna and Brook provide with great insight from research and practice and great compassion for teachers and students. My hope is that this book will become a touchstone for all of us." --Carmen Fariña, Chancellor of New York City Schools "Positive, supportive relationships with children help them develop socially and emotionally and help you to effectively manage your classroom," writes Gianna Cassetta. She shows you an approach to creating that environment that can actually be planned for, taught, and supported from the first day of school--or anytime you want to reset your classroom community. Gianna has been a teacher and leader, and the classroom management strategy she shares in Classroom Management Matters shifts you away from professionally draining rewards-and-consequences systems that threaten children rather than connect with them. Instead of tips and techniques Gianna presents a plan for explicitly teaching children how to be effective learners and accountable members of the classroom. You'll quickly learn to: know your students better and understand the causes of individuals' misbehavior assess children's development along a provided social-emotional continuum--just like any other skill you teach teach these self-management skills to support a positive classroom and academic growth set and maintain boundaries with students respond to disruption with effective teaching language. With reflection questions, classroom examples, and summaries of supporting studies from researcher Brook Sawyer, Classroom Management Matters helps you be a learning leader in the classroom instead of an authority. "I'll show you detailed strategies that prevent and minimize your difficulties with students," writes Gianna, "so you can focus on constructive action that will have a lasting, positive impact."

Whether summarizing research sources or synopsizing the plot of a two-hundred page novel, the ability to cut through extraneous details and describe the major themes and highlights of a text is key to success in school and in life. Until now, however, summarization has been difficult to teach and learn, but with Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling, you'll discover a powerful and practical way to teach these vital skills. Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling is a slim, do-it-all guide that presents everything you need for teaching kids to separate out trivial items in their reading and then identify and communicate the main ideas and crucial details. Emily Kissner breaks down summarization into smaller, more manageable skills--such as paraphrasing, writing synopses, retelling, and restating the main idea--illustrating what good summarization looks like and how to adjust your teaching to fit your students' needs. She offers not only methods for individual and group instruction, but also handy, reproducible resources, such as assessment checklists, forms for group work, peer-response sheets, and sample passages for students to practice with. Best of all, Kissner's approach is a student-centered alternative to skill-and-drill preparations. Supported by research and tested in classrooms, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling gives you both big ideas for powerful teaching and important particulars to help plan instruction and analyze students' progress. What's the big idea behind teaching summarizing? Read Summarizing, Paraphrasing, andRetelling and find out.

He uses the miscues of real readers reading real texts to inform how about how language works and what strategies developing and fluent readers use. His purpose in this book is to examine that knowledge with teachers so they can understand more precisely what it is their students are learning to do and how best to help them. Goodman's sensible, straightforward look at how reading works as a process makes this book, like his earlier Phonics Phacts, a must for every teacher and interested parent.
