Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create environments where students ask questions, not just answer them! When students become questioners, learning improves for all. Yet, even though research has repeatedly shown that student questioning increases ownership of learning and narrows opportunity gaps, studies show that students ask less than five percent of the questions in classrooms today. How do you turn this teacher-centric dynamic around? In this book by bestselling author and education expert Jackie Walsh, the author shifts the focus to student-centric learning and how to develop student questioning strategies, including self-questions, academic questions, exploratory questions, and dialogic questions. Other highlights include: - Vignettes of quality questioning in action in various grade-level and content-area classrooms - Examples of how to use questioning to harness the power of formative assessment and create a culture of inquiry - Student questioning models for distance learning

Book excerpt: A practical guide to deeper instruction—a framework for challenging, engaging, and empowering students of all ages For schools to meet ambitious new standards and prepare all students for college, careers, and life, research has shown unequivocally that nothing is more important that the quality of daily instruction. Learning That Lasts presents a new vision for classroom instruction that sharpens and deepens the quality of lessons in all subject areas. It is the opposite of a 'teacher-proof' solution. Instead, it is predicated on a model of instruction that honors teachers as creative and expert planners of learning experiences for their students and who wish to continuously grow in their instructional and content knowledge. It is not a theoretical vision. It is a model of instruction refined in some of the nation's most successful public schools—schools that are beating the odds to create remarkable achievement—sited primarily in urban and rural low-income communities. Using case studies and examples of powerful learning at all grade levels and in all disciplines, Learning That Lasts is a guide to creating classrooms that promote deeper understanding, higher order thinking, and student independence. Through text and companion videos, readers will enter inspiring classrooms where students go beyond basics to become innovators, collaborators, and creators. Learning That Lasts embraces a three-dimensional view of student achievement that includes mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality work. It is a guide for teachers who wish to make learning more meaningful, memorable, and connected to life, and inspire students to do more than they think possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching has become mainstream in today’s society. You can hire a coach for sports training, sorting out your finances, making career decisions or in relationships. Why then, don’t we have more coaching in education? Linda Hopper took her 20 years of experience in business and coaching into the classroom to figure out how any teacher desiring more empowerment for students and teachers could become a teacher/coach. Knowing that teachers have precious little time, Linda shares how she used Lesson Bites (mini lessons) in as little as 20 to 50 minutes a week to coach middle and high school students, integrating principles of positive psychology and social emotional learning. With a change in focus, teacher/coaches empower students with the mindsets, tools, and strategies to design a more meaningful life of well-being, bringing more relevance to learning in the classroom. Despite being outdated, the education system today still uses a one-size-fitsall approach to learning that expects all students learn the same way and then evaluates progress only through standardized testing. The good news is that teachers have the power to mitigate this obsolete method. Through coaching, educators can help students and themselves design lives that bring more joy, a creative use of abilities and strengths, and greater freedom from stress. Linda Hopper, PhD, relies on over three decades of experience in business, education, coaching, and as a parent to share insights into how the empowerment method of coaching fits into education and why teachers need to coach emotions first, followed by information about the three key areas of personal development for students, lesson bites from her toolbox, and other resources that help educators coach students to attain better well-being. Through her guidance, teachers will learn how to shift their perspective and empower students with the mindsets, tools, and strategies to create a life of purpose and meaning while bringing more relevance to learning in the classroom. In this practical guide, an experienced educator, coach, and parent offers ways to bring a greater awareness of well-being into the classroom through coaching that benefits both teachers and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educators who engage with today’s students appreciate the impact digital media has on the lives of our younger generations. Learners of today consume, create, and publish multimedia content continuously, using a variety of devices such as cell phones, tablets, and computers. They generate original and innovative products through programs, apps, and the Internet as a means of communicating and representing their lives, ideas, and feelings. Unfortunately, not all students understand how to apply media literacy or media safety, and many lack knowledge of how to truly analyze media content for its value in society. Today’s educators must learn to harness the enthusiasm students have for digital media (content that uses a combination of text, images, audio, animation, and video) into daily lessons in order to enhance student interest, engagement, motivation, and achievement in classroom environments. This book addresses these vital considerations, thereby empowering teachers and students to benefit from the application of digital media in their classrooms, both as a compelling assessment tool and as an engaging teaching strategy.
