The genesis for this book, and the strategy within it, is a
longstanding commitment from Essex County Council to improve the
life chances and life choices of disadvantaged pupils being
educated in Essex. The purpose of the book is to set out a
strategic, evidence-informed approach with pupils, families,
teachers, leaders, system leaders and wider agencies which puts
learners first. This approach is rooted in best practice. It
centres on improving the day to day learning experiences of
disadvantaged pupils, leading to better long term choice and
opportunity. Unity Research School and Essex County Council hope it
will support efforts to address the impact of socio-economic
disadvantage on learning in schools and colleges nationally.
All students enter our math classrooms with ideas worthy of
discussion. Some of the most effective breakthroughs come from
short, intentional talks between students and teacher, yet planning
for these moments can seem daunting. In her innovative book,
Conferring in the Math Classroom, Gina Picha focuses on simple and
transformative ways teachers can use math conferences, short
conversations between teachers and small groups of students at
work, to guide instruction, assess understanding, and build strong
math thinkers. Inside you'll learn how to: Facilitate math
conferences to listen to students, encourage them to share their
math thinking, and build on their strengths Ask exploratory
questions to gain insight into their math reasoning and plan the
next steps for instruction Provide differentiated instruction based
on the individual and group needs Picha includes teacher
questioning guides, If-Then charts organized by grade level and
math topic, and note-taking templates to help you get started with
math conferring right away. This practical and accessible approach
can help students deepen their math understanding, build confidence
in their math abilities, and connect learnings between math
subjects.
From long before the first Spring Grove House was built the two
Cedars, which eventually stood to the south of it, were in place.
Legend has it that they were sent by the Duke of Marlborough to the
Duke of Northumberland who planted them to mark the boundaries of
his Syon House estate. One remains to the South East of the house,
close to the new theatre block. The other larger and more majestic
tree stood close to the SW corner dominating the house and the
memories of those who visited it. Pollarded close to the ground by
heavy chains, there were four magnificent arms that gave tremendous
cover. Beneath this tree Sir Joseph Banks and Captain Cook are said
to have planned their voyage to Australia. During the 1950
Christmas holiday there was a heavy fall of snow and, shortly
before the school reassembled, the tree collapsed. Almost 60 years
later to the day, in December 2010, the L.T.Brown Memorial Lebanon
Cedar, funded by past pupils at the Spring Grove Schools, was
planted at the SE corner of the house which is now part of West
Thames College. It is hoped the tree will link the house of the
19th and 20th Centuries and its schools to the college of the 21st.
"A t Isleworth we occupied a building that had been the home of
Alfred Pears and, before him, Sir Joseph Banks. The atmosphere of a
'home' persisted during our period of occupation and staff and
pupils worked together like members of one large family. The red
brick house, set in its well-kept grounds, always seemed to be a
friendly place but a school is more than just a building. The
Spring Grovian virtues of happiness and friendliness continue to
flourish as of old." - An unattributed view of a senior pupil in
the "Spring Grovian" magazine in 1960.

50 Fantastic Ideas for Supporting Children's Wellbeing is packed
full of easy-to-follow activities to calm busy minds and bodies and
develop young children's self-esteem through engagement with their
senses, nature and the world around them. With the ever-increasing
pressures on children and teachers in schools for results and
academic success, the desire for time and space for young children
in the Early Years to calm their minds and bodies and tune into the
natural environment is growing. Rebecca Gordine presents 50 ideas
to address this and nurture young children's concept of self and
wellbeing, from playing with warm noodles and making a healthy soup
recipe, to tuning into nature by listening to bird songs, and
creating a singing show.
The Extended Mind by award-winning science writer, Annie Murphy
Paul, is not an out-and-out education book. But it is entirely
focused on how learning and thinking happen, illustrating how a
multi-modal approach to cognition can widen points of access to
intellectual activity. Using evidence from cognitive science,
neuroscience, and psychology, The Extended Mind might broaden your
understanding of human cognition. The findings of Annie Murphy Paul
parallel those of cognitive load theorists: memory is at the core
of cognition, and the body, the environment and other people enrich
learning. In this book, Emma Turner, David Goodwin, and Oliver
Caviglioli demonstrate how teachers can help their students augment
their thinking with their bodies (embodied cognition), external
tools (situated cognition) and the people around them (distributed
cognition). To ease your concerns, you will read how the works of
several eminent researchers validate claims put forward. Teachers
and leaders of all education phases will find this book
enlightening; using practical strategies and cases studies, the
authors highlight opportunities to enrich students' learning by
widening points of access to intellectual activity.
In 1991, Dr. Lorraine Monroe founded the Frederick Douglass
Academy, a public school in Harlem, in the belief that caring
instructors, a disciplined but creative environment, and a refusal
to accept mediocrity could transform the lives of inner-city kids.
Her experiment was a huge success. Today the Academy is one of the
finest schools in the country, sending graduates to Ivy League
colleges and registering the third highest SAT scores in New York
City. The key to its success: a unique leadership method Monroe
calls the "Monroe Doctrine," which she developed through decades as
a teacher and principal in some of America's toughest schools. In
this book Monroe tells her own remarkable story and explains her
"Doctrine" through pithy, memorable rules and observations and a
host of wonderful true stories. This is an inspiring read for both
new and experienced educators--and for anyone who wants to succeed
in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
