This new book from a leading staff developer gathers together a
wealth of tools, strategies and advice on developing, delivering
and coaching professional development. With so many new initiatives
and requirements to be incorporated into classroom teaching and
assessment, this resource gives school leaders, staff developers
and consultants everything they need to successfully guide staff to
greater effectiveness and ultimately benefit student achievement.
The book is built around four critical roles of the staff
developer, and provides the knowledge base, skills, and tools for
success. Photocopiables for helping staff process and transfer new
learning are also included. This resource also presents important
information about customizing professional development for the
needs of adult learners, sustaining and extending new strengths,
and promoting the critical transfer of new learning into practice.
Strategies and questions to promote reflective processing are
threaded throughout. From Staff Room to Classroom offers readers
guidance as well as practical know-how and how-to distilled from
the career experience of a distinguished international professional
developer.
If you are convinced of the importance of teaching critical and
creative thinking skills in the classroom, this is a must-have
resource. Twenty-four skills are presented along with ready-to-use
sample lessons.
How do we truly help students achieve their fullest potential? What
are the roles of motivation, deliberate practice, and coaching in
developing talent and abilities in students? This hands-on guide
examines each of these elements in detail providing definitions,
relevant research, discussions, examples, and practical steps to
take with students in elementary, middle, and high school. The
authors examine cutting-edge research on world-class performance
and distill information specifically for educators. Offering
guidelines to help teachers spot and encourage students'
exceptional aptitudes, passionate interests, and special strengths,
they show concretely how to promote greater motivation for learning
and success. This foundational book infuses new ideas into
established teaching. User-friendly chapters include
thought-provoking insights, vignettes of how notable talents were
developed, teaching and learning tips, grade-level examples, and
discussion questions.
Educators know that problem-based learning answers that perennial
student question: ""When will I ever use this in real life?"" Faced
with a meaty problem to solve, students finally ""get"" why they
need to learn the content and are energized to do so. But here's
the exciting part: problem-based learning doesn't require weeks of
study or an end-of-year project. In this book, Brian Pete and Robin
Fogarty show how you can use problem-based learning as a daily
approach to helping students learn authentic and relevant content
and skills. They explain how to engage students in each of the
seven steps in the problem-based learning model, so students learn
how to develop good questions, launch their inquiry, gather
information, organize their information, create evidence, present
their findings, and assess their learning. Using practical
examples, they also describe how to help students master these
seven important thinking skills: develop, analyze, reason,
understand, solve, apply, and evaluate. To put all this in context,
the authors offer seven ""PBL in a Nutshell"" lessons that can
easily be incorporated in a single classroom period. Depth of
thinking and ease of implementation this is problem-based learning
at its best.
