› Find signed collectible books: 'Assessing Student Outcomes: Performance Assessment Using the Dimensions of Learning Model'Book summary:The authors provide a brief introduction to the Dimensions of Learning instructional model and then explain how it relates to lifelong learning standards and the content standards developed for mathematics, science, and other subjects. They include numerous examples of performance tasks that help students meet the standards by requiring them to actively construct knowledge for themselves.
Teachers will especially appreciate the book's many rubrics, which are four-point scales that teachers can use not only to assess student performance on various tasks related to the five dimensions of learning, but also to provide descriptive feedback that can help students improve their performance. The book is printed in an 8" x 10" format so readers can easily photocopy the rubrics and blank assessment forms in Part Two of the book. [via]

A Celebration of Neurons: An Educator's Guide to the Human Brainby Robert SylwesterISBN 0871202433 (0-87120-243-3)
Softcover, Assn for Supervision & Curriculum
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Celebration of Neurons: An Educator's Guide to the Human Brain'Book summary:Robert Sylwester offers educators an introduction to "the only mass of matter in the known universe that can contemplate itself," the human brain. We all know that the brain is where learning takes place, but how many of us understand the brain's basic workings and use that understanding in our work with students? How many of us keep up with new developments in brain research that might have implications for teaching and learning? How many of us can even identify the basic parts of the brain and when they mature?
After reading this book, you'll be able to identify the basic parts of the brain. You'll also be able to discuss scientists' theories about how our brain functions, how it interacts with the outside environment, how it determines what's important, how it solves problems, how it adapts itself to its environment, and how it learns, remembers, and forgets.
"A Celebration of Neurons" is more than an introduction to the brain, however; it is also an urgent call for educators to become actively involved in discovering useful applications for brain theory and research in the schools. Developments in brain research have already provided scientific support for educational practices such as cooperative learning, and new developments will almost certainly influence other aspects of teaching and learning, from the content of the curriculum to the layout of the classroom. The question we must ask ourselves now, says Sylwester, is whether the education profession as a whole can continue to ignore the significant role that brain research can play in improving teaching and learning.

Changing School Culture Through Staff Developmentby Bruce JoyceISBN 0871201674 (0-87120-167-4)
Softcover, Assn for Supervision & Curriculum
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Changing School Culture Through Staff Development'Book summary:According to author Bruce Joyce, schools would be well served if staff development programs more often employed research- and clinical-based psychology to train educators. In Changing School Culture Through Staff Development, Joyce uses examples from the field as well as psychological and neurological research to suggest progressive staff development methods. He also outlines and discusses five main wishes for the advancement of staff development:
The establishment of a partnership between research and clinical practice;
A critical core of knowledge as a prerequisite for the certification of educators;
Acceptance by the educational establishment of the complexity of neurological functions;
Pre-certification instruction of educators that teaches the skill of teacher performance
observation analysis;
A general endorsement of staff development, and the funding thereof, as routine
procedure for all educators, regardless of status. Throughout this book, Joyce keeps his five main wishes in mind as ultimate staff development goals, and interprets empirical data on the subject accordingly. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Evolving Multicultural Classroom'Book summary:This book is a comprehensive guide to infusing multicultural education into the classroom. The author, Rose Reissman, relates many of her experiences as an inner-city, middle school language arts teacher and teacher educator in an engaging, concrete way. The book shows how teachers can actively involve their students in projects that promote academic excellence and cultural understanding, involve multiple intelligences, and benefit the community.
Section I presents activities to introduce teachers, students, and parents to the concepts of multicultural education.
Section II focuses on three areas of the curriculum--language arts, social studies, and the arts. Reissman relates how many teaching strategies and student projects (many involving technology) evolved from an original activity, through student interest and exploration of topics and themes in newspapers, works of literature, current events, community resources, and students' backgrounds.
Section III provides resources, including detailed outlines of activities a nd strategies, that encourage teachers to put together their own program and solicit parent input. An index is included. [via]

Heirs to Shakespeare: Reinventing the Bard in Young Adult Literatureby Megan Lynn IsaacISBN 086709494X (0-86709-494-X)
Softcover, Boynton/Cook Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Heirs to Shakespeare: Reinventing the Bard in Young Adult Literature'Book summary:One of the best ways for modern readers to develop an appreciation for Shakespeare is by discovering how frequently his works are reinvented by today's young adult authors. Heirs to Shakespeare puts the Bard into conversation with these authors and helps bring Renaissance drama to life. This innovative approach to curriculum design bridges the artificial gap between canonical authors and contemporary writers. At the same time, it demonstrates how reading for personal pleasure and reading Shakespeare can be complementary goals.
Unlike other books that "pair" classic and contemporary books, this one provides readings and specific analysis of the Shakespearean influence underpinning many young adult novels. Important features include:
- detailed reading of young adult novels with significant Shakespearean features, including books by Katherine Paterson, Julius Lester, Lois Duncan, and Ann McCaffrey
- explicit analysis of Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Richard III, The Tempest, and young adult novels that revise and expand upon these plays
- detailed readings of historical fiction for young adults with discussion of how these novels relate to Shakespeare and the theatrical world
- background material on young adult life in the Renaissance
- analysis and suggestions on incorporating adaptations of Shakespeare into the classroom
- forthright discussion of the difficulties of teaching controversial plays like Othello and The Merchant of Venice.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'How to Use Standards in the Classroom'Book summary:How can you bring standards to life and reality in your classroom? This guide is for teachers who seek a model and processes for designing standards-based units of study to use in their classrooms.
The proliferation of standards developed at the national and state levels turns the preparation of a meaningful classroom curriculum into a daunting task. Imagine that your district has recently adopted standards for student learning or your state has just published standards for your subject area. As you open the standards documents, you wonder "How do I make these standards part of my curriculum? How will I know if my students have attained the standards?"
Harris and Carr share their experiences with standards-based learning and offer practical examples of how to develop standards into units of study. The model and processes they describe in this book help readers in choosing and coordinating standards, topics, products and performances, assessment criteria, exemplars, and scoring guides. [via]

Illuminating Texts: How to Teach Students to Read the Worldby Jim BurkeISBN 0867094974 (0-86709-497-4)
Softcover, Heinemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Illuminating Texts: How to Teach Students to Read the World'Book summary:Today's students face such a barrage of competing texts in so many different forms and media that it's almost impossible to know what to trust and where to turn anymore. So it's now up to teachers to help students determine not only what should be read, but how it should be read.
Illuminating Texts, Jim Burke's most ambitious book yet, addresses this issue. It explores the powerful idea of "textual intelligence," offers both practical and theoretical information on teaching and reading, and explains how to incorporate the newest ideas and techniques into actual classroom practice. Jim also presents an important argument for teaching what students will need to know, and be able to do, in the future - one of our primary responsibilities as educators.
Each chapter has a clear focus - e.g., Reading the Internet, Reading Textbooks, Reading Literature, Reading Images - and all follow a similar format, including background information and rationale, standards connections, questions to ask, classroom connections, elements of the text, and additional resources. You can turn to the book for a five-minute read and find some questions to use in your next period. Or you can read an entire chapter, to help you clarify your thinking.
Illuminating Texts' accompanying website - www.englishcompanion.com/illuminating - continues and complements the book by providing additional resources, all of which are frequently updated. [via]

In the Middle: New Understandings About Writing, Reading, and Learningby Nancie AtwellISBN 0867093749 (0-86709-374-9)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'In the Middle: New Understandings About Writing, Reading, and Learning'Book summary:Recommended by the Ontario Ministry of Education
Grades 6-10
When first published in 1987, this seminal work was widely hailed for its honest examination of how teachers teach, how students learn, and the gap that lies in between. In depicting her own classroom struggles, Nancie Atwell shook our orthodox assumptions about skill-and-drill-based curriculums and became a pioneer of responsive teaching. Now, in the long awaited second edition, Atwell reflects on the next ten years of her experience, rethinks and clarifies old methods, and demonstrates new, more effective approaches.
The second edition still urges educators to "come out from behind their own big desks" to turn classrooms into workshops where students and teachers create curriculums together. But it also advocates a more activist role for teachers. Atwell writes, "I'm no longer willing to withhold suggestions and directions from my kids when I can help them solve a problem, do something they've never done before, produce stunning writing, and ultimately become more independent of me."
More than 70 percent of the material is new, with six brand-new chapters on genres, evaluation, and the teacher as writer. There are also lists of several hundred minilessons, and scripts and examples for teaching them; new expectations and rules for writing and reading workshops; ideas for teaching conventions; new systems for record keeping; lists of essential books for students and teachers; and forms for keeping track of individual spelling, skills, proofreading, homework, writing, and reading.
The second edition of In the Middle is written in the same engaging style as its predecessor. It reads like a storyone that readers will be pleased to learn has no end. As Atwell muses, "I know my students and I will continue to learn and be changed. I am resignedhappilyto be always beginning for the rest of my life as a teacher."

Hardcover, Atlantic Monthly Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Letters To A Teacher'Book summary:Sam Pickering has been teaching, guiding, performing, and inspiring for over forty years. As a young English teacher at a boys' school in Tennessee, his musings on literature touched the student who later wrote the screenplay for Dead Poets Society. Since then, his widely published essays and speeches have established him as a thinker with a unique way of finding enlightenment in the quotidian. During a time when discussions about education focus on issues such as testing and funding, Letters to a Teacher reminds us of the art and joy of teaching. In ten eloquent, conversational essays addressed to teachers of all types, Pickering shares compelling, funny, always elucidating anecdotes from a lifetime in the classrooms of schools and universities. His priceless, homespun observations touch on topics such as competition, curiosity, enthusiasm, and truth, and are leavened throughout with stories-whether from the family breakfast table, his revelatory nature walks, or his time teaching in Australia and Syria. Letters to a Teacher is an irresistible invitation into the hearts and minds of an extraordinary educator and his students, and an indispensable learning tool for new and old teachers alike. [via]

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruitby Jeanette WintersonISBN 0871131633 (0-87113-163-3)
Softcover, Pub Group West
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit'Book summary:Jeanette, the protagonist of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit and the author's namesake, has issues--"unnatural" ones: her adopted mam thinks she's the Chosen one from God; she's beginning to fancy girls; and an orange demon keeps popping into her psyche. Already Jeanette Winterson's semi-autobiographical first novel is not your typical coming-of-age tale.
Brought up in a working-class Pentecostal family, up North, Jeanette follows the path her Mam has set for her. This involves Bible quizzes, a stint as a tambourine-playing Sally Army officer and a future as a missionary in Africa, or some other "heathen state". When Jeanette starts going to school ("The Breeding Ground") and confides in her mother about her feelings for another girl ("Unnatural Passions"), she's swept up in a feverish frenzy for her tainted soul. Confused, angry and alone, Jeanette strikes out on her own path, that involves a funeral parlour and an ice-cream van. Mixed in with the so-called reality of Jeanette's existence growing up are unconventional fairy tales that transcend the everyday world, subverting the traditional preconceptions of the damsel in distress.
In Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Winterson knits a complicated picture of teenage angst through a series of layered narratives, incorporating and subverting fairytales and myths, to present a coherent whole, within which her stories can stand independently. Imaginative and mischievous, she is a born storyteller, teasing and taunting the reader to reconsider their worldview. --Nicola Perry [via]

Sentence Composing for College: A Worktext on Sentence Variety and Maturityby Don KillgallonISBN 0867094478 (0-86709-447-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sentence Composing for College: A Worktext on Sentence Variety and Maturity'Book summary:With the original publication of his sentence composing series, Don Killgallon changed the way thousands of high school English teachers and their students look at language, literature, and writing by focusing on the sentence. In this expanded series, Killgallon presents the same proven methodology but offers all-new writing exercises for middle school, high school, and college students.
Unlike traditional grammar books that emphasize sentence analysis, these worktexts asks students to imitate the sentence styles of professional writers, making the sentence composing process enjoyable and challenging. Killgallon teaches subliminally, nontechnically - the ways real writers compose their sentences, the ways students subsequently intuit within their own writing.
Designed to produce sentence maturity and variety, the worktexts offer extensive practice in four sentence-manipulating techniques: sentence unscrambling, sentence imitating, sentence combining, and sentence expanding. It's demonstrably true that Sentence Composing can work anywhere--in any school, with any student.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Taking Charge of Change'Book summary:One of the most common and serious mistakes made by both the ministry years and leaders of a change process is to presume that once an innovation has been introduced an initial training has been completed the intended users will put the innovation into practice. A second serious mistake is to assume that all users of the implementation will react in similar ways. This book provides new insights and understandings about school change. It's powerful message brings a new understanding about the roles and personal needs of the people involved in a change process. It hits at the heart of the problem by providing strategies for the total management of a innovation destined for success. The first strategy presented provides the means to both introduce the change or innovation and monitor the anticipated variety and diversity of implementation... The second strategy focuses on the target of the change process, the teacher... The concept of the levels of use of the innovation provides the third strategy, which identifies the degree to which teachers are using the new practices... One of the major contentions of this book is that guesswork and intuition need not be the tool used by individuals responsible for the process of change. The specific role played by those individuals in the orchestration of their efforts is presented with six areas of action that support a change process. Taking Charge of Change provides diagnostic techniques for assessing individuals involved in a change in order to understand both them and their needs. Those techniques then provide the agents of the change process with information about how to use resources and provide support services. This book carries a powerful message for all success oriented agents of change. ---excerpts from book's Forward [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Universitas Project: Solutions for a Post-technological Society'Book summary:In January of 1972, The Museum of Modern Art hosted "The Universitas Project," a two-day conference sponsored by the Museum's International Council and the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies. The distinguished participants, from a wide range of scholarly and artistic disciplines, including Jean Baudrillard, Umberto Eco, Gyorgy Kepes, Octavio Paz, Anatol Rapoport, Meyer Schapiro, Carl Schorske and Jivan Tabibian, among many others, engaged in a multidisciplinary debate on the future of design and design institutions in the postindustrial era. The project, conceived and directed by the noted architect and designer Emilio Ambasz, then Curator of Design at the Museum, was originally described as "a critical and prospective inquiry into the relation of man to the natural and the sociocultural environment...specifically planned to explore the possibility of establishing in the United States a new type of institution centered around the task of evaluating and designing the man-made milieu." This important volume publishes in their entirety the various components of the conference: the working papers that set the terms of the debate; the essays submitted by the invitees; the proceedings of the symposia responding to the papers; and the postscripts provided by the participants after the event. It makes this chapter in the intellectual history of the Museum, addressing issues and ideas still relevant today, available for the first time to scholars, the architecture and design community and the general public.
