Make economics easy for students in grades 6-12 using Economic
Literacy: A Simplified Method for Teaching Economic Concepts. This
96-page book presents difficult terms and concepts in a simplified
format and helps students gain a better understanding of how the
American economic system works. Activities allow students to
explore ideas, practice research skills, access information through
technology, and find the connection between economic theories and
historical events. The book also includes simulations and games
that reinforce core concepts.
Connect students in grades 4-8 with science using Forensic
Investigations: Using Science to Solve Crimes. In this 80-page
book, students build deductive-reasoning skills as they become
crime-solving stars. Most scenarios in the book have more than one
plausible outcome, allowing individuals or groups to broadly
interpret evidence. Activities include interpreting handwriting and
body language and fingerprinting. The book supports National
Science Education Standards.
Motivate students in grades 7-8 to read using Nonfiction Reading
Comprehension This 64-page book provides students with practice
reading nonfiction selections and testing for comprehension. The
book covers five content areas: science, history, geography,
economics, and informational text. Within each content area, there
are four reading selections and one set of paired passages.
Standardized testing formats assess reading comprehension to help
students become familiar with the testing process. The book
supports NCTE standards and aligns with Common Core State
Standards, national, and Canadian provincial standards.
Set on a remote Hebridean Island this is the story of one man's
struggle to bring his tiny crofting community into the modern world
by building a road. He meets unexpected resistance from many
quarters but eventually he succeeds in his dream but not without
great cost to himself.
Over the last two decades, the use of instructional coaching has
surged in PreK-12 education settings as one way to support the
implementation of instructional best practices in a wide range of
disciplines. However, not all educators have access to high-quality
instructional coaching due to multiple factors, which typically
include isolation (geographic and otherwise), limited financial
support, and limited professional development time. In addition,
the COVID-19 pandemic brought long periods of quarantine and social
isolation where educators were scrambling to teach in an unfamiliar
medium, and virtual coaching was the only way they could receive
professional development. For these reasons, many districts are
exploring virtual solutions to provide professional development and
coaching support. Implementing a Virtual Coaching Model for Teacher
Professional Development addresses how to effectively implement
virtual coaching in the field of education and discusses how
technology can provide more equitable access to job-embedded and
personalized professional learning (through virtual coaching)
across all educational institutions. Covering a wide range of
topics such as sustainable learning and cognitive coaching, it is
ideal for professional development professionals, corporate
trainers, education leaders, principals, teachers, researchers,
practitioners, academicians, and students.
Over the last two decades, the use of instructional coaching has
surged in PreK-12 education settings as one way to support the
implementation of instructional best practices in a wide range of
disciplines. Perhaps this is partly due to professional development
(PD) research indicating that more sustained durations of
meaningful collaboration focused on context-relevant topics is
necessary. The authors have experienced this surge firsthand as
practitioners, state leaders, preservice teacher-educators,
education researchers, and PD providers. It is clear that coaching
- when done well - supports educators in their use of best
practices. However, not all educators have access to high-quality
instructional coaching due to multiple factors, which typically
include isolation (geographic and otherwise), limited financial
support, and limited PD time. In addition, the Covid 19 global
pandemic brought long periods of quarantine and social isolation
where educators were scrambling to teach in an unfamiliar medium
and virtual coaching was the only way they could receive PD. For
these reasons, many districts are exploring virtual solutions to
providing PD and coaching support. This book will clearly connect
research and best practices for coaching virtually through VECTOR
(c), and offer specific guidance (e.g., coaching questions,
coach-coachee activities) and relatable anecdotes to support
working with educators in each phase. Practitioner examples will
engage readers as they contextualize examples, develop a deeper
understanding, and generate a vision for virtual coaching and how
to do it effectively. The proposed text stands apart from other
texts about coaching and coaching models in that it specifically
addresses how to effectively implement virtual coaching in the
field of education. It will show that virtual coaching offers a way
for administrators to implement personalized and job-embedded
professional development for teachers, and do so affordably in a
manageable way. It also shows how technology can provide more
equitable access to job-embedded and personalized professional
learning (through virtual coaching) across all educational
institutions. The primary audiences for this book include those
responsible for supporting implementation of a variety of
strategies and practices in the field of education. These audiences
include professional development providers, building and
district-level education leaders, on-site instructional coaches,
virtual coaches, educational service center leaders and providers,
and even educational researchers responsible for implementing
interventions across a broad geographical region. Secondary
audiences may include corporate trainers, and those who coach
virtually in other fields of leadership and wellness. This book
aims to translate research to practice in an approachable,
easy-to-read format that virtual coaches can easily understand and
apply to their own work with virtual coaching participants.
