A Teacher's Guide to Successful Classroom Management and
Differentiated Instruction is a practical, straightforward
conversation with teachers about two key aspects of their work. The
first section shows teachers how to create the learning environment
they want, leading them step by step through the process that
establishes a productive, trusting relationship between teacher and
students. The second section describes differentiated instruction:
what it is and how to do it, where it fits into the teaching cycle
and how it yields maximum gains for every student. Illustrating
concepts with examples from both elementary and secondary
classrooms, the guide also offers strategies, checklists, and
activities to help teachers improve their practice.
This book on assessing writing is designed for teachers, school
leaders, and evaluators. It begins with a collection of assessment
practices that will increase teachers' efficiency and effectiveness
as they guide students in learning how to think and write
successfully. The second section includes step-by-step procedures,
prompts, and rubrics for conducting on-demand, timed writing
assessments, either for diagnosis of students' skills or for
analysis of instruction. The final section explains how to develop
and measure interrater reliability, the extent to which assessors
agree on the quality of student writing-a critical component for
any faculty that seeks to increase the efficacy of their teaching.
Whether readers wish to assess the thinking and writing of students
in one class, one school, or a whole district, this book will show
them how.
A Guide to Organizational Strategies for Thinking and Writing
offers teachers and students ten patterns for arranging ideas that
will expand their repertoire of organizational skills. Each pattern
is illustrated by passages that model the strategy, and each is
accompanied by an assignment that invites application and practice.
Models that encompass a wide range of subjects-literature, history,
science, mathematics-are provided for students in the early grades,
in middle school, and in high school or college. Teachers will find
the first part of the book helpful in planning writing instruction,
not just for language arts but for any subject that requires
English exposition. Students, from emerging to accomplished
writers, will benefit from reading the passages and completing the
assignments. The strategies include six basic
approaches-chronological, spatial, topical, comparison, contrast,
comparison contrast-and four less well-known patterns-traditional
narrative, point counterpoint, question-answer, and extended
analogy. The book concludes with a lesson in modeling rhythm and
rhyme in poetry. Some other key features of this book include:
*Ready-to-use assignments *A bonus lesson on modeling rhythm and
rhyme *Leads to additional resources *An introduction to modeling
prose passages
