Hierdie lespakket – die eerste van ’n reeks wat van graad 6 tot graad 11 strek – het dit ten doel om leerders aan die Nederlandse kultuur, taal en letterkunde bekend te stel. Leerders vertrek vanaf ’n bekende terrein (Afrikaans en Suid-Afrika) na nuwe werelde (Nederlands en Nederland en Belgie). Hulle fokus op wat dieselfde in die verskillende lande en tale is, maar ondersoek ook dit wat anders is. Die meeste leerders sal bekend wees met die legendariese karakters wat bespreek word, en sal besef dat ons kulture baie deel, maar dat daar tog verskille is – sommige oppervlakkig; ander meer diepgaande. Kurrikulum-Inligting. Die inhoud dek al die werk wat in week 5 en 6 in kwartaal 2 in die kurrikulum uiteengesit word, maar betrek ook werk uit ander weke. Dit is juis so gekies dat die Nederlandse lespakket ter verryking of as hersiening gebruik kan word. Die taalaspekte dek onder andere gedeeltes waar ooreenkomste en verskille tussen Afrikaans en Nederlands duidelik ter sprake is, naamlik spelling en woordeskatontwikkeling.

Many elementary classroom teachers who are not physical education specialists are nonetheless responsible for providing physical education to their students. This guide provides the classroom teacher with a concise overview of the essential content and pedagogical knowledge necessary to design, implement, and assess physical education programs. Based on current standards established by the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), this text is designed to inform classroom teachers about the many opportunities to integrate physical education, which is the deliberate attempt to teach students conceptual knowledge that goes beyond instruction in motor skills, games, sports, and fitness activities. And because the authors of this text are particularly sensitive to the difficulties of teaching physical education when equipment and space are limited, they have included content that can be taught without the need for special facilities, equipment, or certifications. Integrated Physical Education addresses an all-encompassing scope of topics: The Curriculum in Elementary Physical Education; Fitness Education; Fundamental Movement Skills and Concepts; Educational Rhythms and Dance; Educational Gymnastics; Educational Games and Sport; Outdoor and Adventure Education; Effective Teaching; Kinesiology and Effective Teaching; Instructional Methods; Standards-Based Assessment; Instructional Resources and Technology; Physical Education for Individuals with Disabilities; Teaching Multicultural Concepts Through Movement and Physical Activity; First Aid, Safety, and Liability. The book is both the ideal textbook and an indispensable resource for pre-service classroom teachers and others who are studying physical education teaching methods.

As every humanities or social science teacher knows, success in exam years relies on pupils' ability to blend subject knowledge with writing skills. But teachers face two significant problems in developing writing in their classroom: many pupils regard writing practice as a chore or a punishment; and research on writing instruction remains difficult for busy teachers to access. The Writing Game: 50 Evidence-Informed Writing Activities for GCSE and A Level aims to solve these problems by providing a must-read practical toolkit for teachers looking to help their pupils to write their way into the top grades, offering a menu of engaging lesson activities that can be modified to suit any subject context. With activities covering modelling, practice, and feedback, The Writing Game supports teachers to deliver research-informed strategies at every stage of the learning process. Perfect for teachers, middle leaders, and senior leaders, The Writing Game also contains tips on how to incorporate writing practice into regular subject content, formative assessment, and retrieval practice. Each activity is fully explained and accompanied by top tips for maximising effective learning, suggested adaptations, and links to appropriate research. Activities range from rapid five-minute starters and plenaries to whole-lesson extended writing tasks, with plenty in between, and busy teachers will be relieved to hear that many require very little preparation.

David Colander has been writing about economic methodology for over 30 years. His pragmatic approach sees applied policy methodology as rooted in what economists actually do, not in what methodologists say they should do. It sees applied policy methodology as constantly evolving as analytic and computational technology changes, evolving far too fast to be subject to any rigid scientific methodology. That problem is that economists generally think of applied policy analysis as applied science. Colander argues that using a scientific methodology to guide applied policy undermines good policy analysis. Instead, he contends that economists should use a much looser engineering methodology that blends science, heuristics, inescapable moral judgments, and creativity into what he calls the art and craft of economics. Here, Huei-chun Su has selected seventeen of Colander's articles that spell out and capture his arguments at various levels - some formal academic articles dealing with cutting edge methodology, and some more popular articles making the case for his approach. An original introduction and annotated bibliography serve as excellent resources for further exploring his arguments. Clear, well-structured, and written in plain English with little jargon, the book is approachable and suitable for anyone interested in the current and future state of economics and the economics profession. This includes students at any level as well as methodologists, applied economists, historians and critics of modern economics.

Why aren't more schools seeing significant improvement in students' reading ability when they implement Response to Intervention (RTI) or Multitiered Systems of Support (MTSS) in their literacy programs? These frameworks serve as a way for educators to identify struggling readers and provide the small-group instruction they need to improve their skills. But the success stories are too few in number, and most schools have too little to show for their efforts. What accounts for the difference? What are successful schools doing that sets them apart? Author and education consultant Susan Hall provides answers in the form of 10 success factors for implementing MTSS. Based on her experience in schools across the United States, she explains the ""whys"" and ""hows"" of: Grouping by skill deficit and using diagnostic assessments to get helpful data for grouping and regrouping. Implementing an instructional delivery model, including the ""walk-to-intervention"" model. Using intervention time wisely and being aware of what makes intervention effective. Providing teachers with the materials they need for effective lessons and delivering differentiated professional development for administrators, reading coaches, teachers, and instructional assistants. Monitoring progress regularly and conducting nonevaluative observations of intervention instruction. Practical, comprehensive, and evidence-based, 10 Success Factors for Literacy Intervention provides the guidance educators need to move from disappointing results to solid gains in students' literacy achievement.

Despite the efforts of teachers and educators, every year secondary schools across the English-speaking world turn out millions of functionally illiterate leavers. The costs in human misery and in wasted productivity are catastrophic. What can schools do to prevent this situation? In this highly accessible book James and Dianne Murphy combine more than 50 years of experience to provide teachers with a thorough, easy to use introduction to the extensive research on reading and its effects on student achievement. Drawing on the work of experts from around the world, the authors explore how we learn to read, how the many myths and misconceptions around reading developed, and why they continue to persist.Building on these foundations chapters go on to examine how the general secondary school classroom can support all levels of reading more effectively, regardless of subject; how school leaders can ensure that their systems, practices and school culture deliver the very best literacy provision for all students; and what it takes to ensure that a racing intervention aimed at adolescent struggling readers is truly effective. The overall message of this books is one of great optimism: the authors demonstrate that the right of every child to learn to read is entirely achievable if schools employ the best research-driven practice.
