text-complexity information-- quantitative (Lexile level),
qualitative, and reader and task considerations--to help teachers
meet the needs of their class. For use with Grades 7-8.

An unputdownable true account of how a tenacious head teacher led
one of the most challenging schools in the country to excellence.
No Excuses charts an extraordinary principal's journey in diary
form from the moment she took over at a failing secondary school in
a deprived area of the country, where less than a quarter of
children attained five or more A*-C GCSEs, and how she set about
the gruelling task of transforming its reputation using her
zero-tolerance, tough-love approach. Armed only with a wicked sense
of humour, fearless energy and a powerful vision, Alison Colwell
put in place a stringent set of rules, including a strict uniform
policy and a complete ban on mobile phones, provoking resistance
and hostility from some parents, the wider community and on social
media. This is the darkly funny, moving story of how, together,
teachers and their - often troubled - pupils rebuilt a school and
community, with an inspirational head at the helm. Charming,
touching and full of brilliant leadership advice, this is the diary
of the woman the Daily Mail labelled Britain's strictest head
teacher.

How can today's teachers, whose classrooms are more culturally and
linguistically diverse than ever before, ensure that their students
achieve at high levels? How can they design units and lessons that
support English learners in language development and content
learning-simultaneously? Authors Amy Heineke and Jay McTighe
provide the answers by adding a lens on language to the widely used
Understanding by Design (R) framework (UbD (R) framework) for
curriculum design, which emphasizes teaching for understanding, not
rote memorization. Readers will learn: The components of the UbD
framework. The fundamentals of language and language development.
How to use diversity as a valuable resource for instruction by
gathering information about students' background knowledge from
home, community, and school. How to design units and lessons that
integrate language development with content learning in the form of
essential knowledge and skills. How to assess in ways that enable
language learners to reveal their academic knowledge. Student
profiles, real-life classroom scenarios, and sample units and
lessons provide compelling examples of how teachers in all grade
levels and content areas use the UbD framework in their culturally
and linguistically diverse classrooms. Combining these practical
examples with findings from an extensive research base, the authors
deliver a useful and authoritative guide for reaching the
overarching goal: ensuring that all students have equitable access
to high-quality curriculum and instruction.
Classrooms are currently undergoing enormous change as school
populations become increasingly heterogeneous. The goal of this
title is to present teachers and school managers with a
multicultural approach to education, which is ultimately aimed at
providing learners from different backgrounds and experiences with
equal opportunities to learn and succeed.
This interesting text is based on the papers read at the
commemorative conference (held at Misty Hills in South Africa in
April 2004) and critically examines the progress that South Africa
and the United States have made towards realising equal educational
opportunities for all. It also provides further international
perspectives from Unesco and Europe. The title contains personal
recollections of experiences related to equality by Judge Albie
Sachs of the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
This text presents a conceptual framework with case studies in
dryland development and management. The option of a rational and
ethical discourse for development that is beneficial for both the
environment and society is emphasized, avoiding extreme
environmentalism and human destructionism. This book has been
compiled with the purpose of giving guidance to Geography teachers
in both primary and secondary schools.
Since the book contains chapters on both the philosophical
background to Geography teaching and on the practical situation, it
is hoped that it will be of use to both the student teacher and the
serving teacher. The ideas contained in this guide should also be
seen as starting points in Geography teaching, and it is hoped that
teachers will use them as a basis for developing ideas of their
own. It is also hoped that the book will generate discussion among
teachers on both the theory and the practice of Geography teaching.
The media regularly reports on schools, educators, principals,
governing bodies and parents involved in conflict situations and
legal actions. These disputes arise from any one of a number of
reasons including ignorance of the existence of legal stipulations,
being uninformed about the full implications of such legal
requirements, misinterpretation of the law or, alas, wilful
breaking of the law. In view of the enormous changes that have
taken place with the establishment of a single education system for
South Africa, it is more important than ever for educators to have
a working knowledge of those aspects of the law that apply to the
school situation.
