Struggling readers need personalized, focused, and
assessment-driven instruction. In other words, they need
interventions that work. Cooper, Chard, and Kiger provide those
interventions in this essential resource. Covering the most
important aspects of literacy-- oral language, phonemic awareness,
word recognition, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and
writing--the authors organize the interventions around a
classroom-tested framework for assessing students, diagnosing their
needs, teaching them based on findings, and reassessing them to
determine whether more instruction, practice, or application are
needed.
How would you lead your college if you knew that you had to close
it? Founded in 1888 as Miss Wheelock's Kindergarten Training
School, Wheelock College's mission was to prepare students to work
in the helping professions, including teaching and social work. But
in 2018, struggling with growing debt and declining admissions, the
130-year-old institution officially closed and merged with Boston
University, creating the BU Wheelock College of Education and Human
Development. Written by the former president and vice president of
academic affairs of Wheelock College, When Colleges Close presents
the remarkable success story of Wheelock's merger with Boston
University and its closure as a standalone institution. In an era
when more and more institutions are at risk of closure, this book
offers a detailed description of how the board and administration
of one small college with an enrollment of under 1,100 students
determined early that it needed to plan for a future in which it
would no longer be viable. Mary L. Churchill and David J. Chard
provide readers with a detailed understanding of the process they
designed with their board and select members of the Wheelock
community to generate multiple partnership options. They also
describe how they managed the process through the final
negotiations, despite being a small institution in an asymmetric
merger with Boston University, which has an enrollment of over
33,000 students. As the higher education sector faces increased
volatility, colleges and universities will need authentic,
transparent, and student-focused leadership to navigate new forms
of crisis and transition. Written for leaders in both small
colleges and larger universities who may find themselves in similar
situations, as well as for scholars of higher education who are
interested in strategic planning, When Colleges Close is the
sobering yet hopeful story of a venerable regional institution that
turned its long-term enrollment challenges into a strong merger.
The contributors to this volume represent the most prominent
researchers and thinkers on issues in educating students with and
without disabilities. The book captures the most current thinking,
research, and analysis on the full range of issues in educating
students with learning disabilities, from its definition to the
most recent case law and interpretations of federal law on
educating these students in the general education classroom. The
contributors' words speak sufficiently, mellifluously, and
exactingly about their contributions to the education of all
students, in particular those with disabilities. This book of
essays was written to pay tribute to Barbara D. Bateman, who --
along with Sam Kirk -- coined the term "learning disabilities." Its
content reflects the significance of her contributions to the field
of special education.

Make all your middle schoolers confident and competent
mathematicians with this book, your accessible guide to teaching
math to every learner in Grades 6-8. Focused on knocking down
roadblocks to learning, this reader-friendly resource shows you how
to use multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS)-a powerful, widely
adopted framework for meeting each student's individual needs.
You'll learn how to deliver high-quality, evidence-based math
instruction; combine your instruction with meaningful assessment;
and provide just-right supports that help students conquer their
specific math struggles. An essential guide for in-service
educators-and an important resource for teachers in training-this
book gives you the in-depth knowledge and practical tools you need
to support every student's success in middle school math. DISCOVER
HOW TO: Implement MTSS to benefit all students: Develop and use
tiered supports across your whole school, promote collaboration
between general and special educators, and troubleshoot your MTSS.
Build foundational numeracy skills: Help your students strengthen
the three pillars of numeracy that build algebraic proficiency.
Design and deliver effective math instruction: Use today's
recommended practices to teach all students, and develop Tier 2 and
Tier 3 interventions that really help struggling learners. Choose
and use effective supports: Distinguish between differentiation,
accommodation, and modification, and learn when and how to use
them. Use data to make decisions: Learn how to select and use
screeners, diagnostic assessments, progress monitoring tools, and
summative assessments-and use results to shape instruction.
PRACTICAL MATERIALS: More than a dozen downloadable forms help you
plan for MTSS and implement what you learned from the book,
vignettes and sample problems model best practices, and interviews
with real-life educators brim with valuable advice on implementing
MTSS in math education.
