    • Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book: The Essential Guide for Students Aged 5-11

      Navigating the pivotal academic years between ages 5 to 11 can be a transformative journey for every child. Equipping them with the right tools not only helps in their academic pursuits but also fosters essential life skills. Here are compelling reasons why this comprehensive Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book is an indispensable tool for students in this age group:

      1. Foundation for Organizational Skills: At this formative age, students are gradually introduced to multiple subjects, projects, and assignments. A tracker book provides a centralized place to record, organize, and manage these tasks, laying the groundwork for developing organizational skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

      2. Boosts Responsibility & Independence: With a dedicated tracker, students take ownership of their academic responsibilities. They learn the importance of deadlines, prioritize tasks, and become more self-reliant in managing their time.

      3. Visual Progress Monitoring: Tracking grades and feedback helps students visualize their progress over time. Recognizing areas of improvement or subjects that need extra attention can motivate them to put in more effort and achieve better outcomes.

      4. Reduced Stress & Overwhelm: Knowing exactly what needs to be done and when it’s due can significantly reduce feelings of being overwhelmed. This clarity can diminish anxiety and stress associated with schoolwork, leading to a more balanced and enjoyable academic experience.

      5. Enhanced Memory Retention: Writing down assignments and project details aids in memory retention. The act of jotting down tasks can reinforce learning and help students remember important details.

      6. Fosters Goal Setting: With a clear overview of their academic trajectory, students can set short-term and long-term goals. Achieving these milestones can boost their confidence and drive further success.

      7. Parent-Child Collaboration: The tracker book can serve as a communication bridge between parents and their children. Parents can be more involved, understanding what their child is working on, offering help when needed, and celebrating achievements together.

      8. Preparation for Future Challenges: As students move on to higher grades, the complexity and volume of assignments increase. Having a system in place early on prepares them to handle these challenges more efficiently.

      9. Creates a Record of Achievements: Over time, the tracker book becomes a tangible record of a student’s journey, highlighting their achievements, challenges, and growth. It can serve as a keepsake, reminding them of their dedication and hard work.

      10. Enhances Creativity & Personalization: A tracker book can be more than just a functional tool. Students can personalize it with stickers, drawings, and notes, making it a reflection of their personality and encouraging creative expression.

      In an age where digital distractions are rampant, this Homework, Grade & Project Tracker Book serves as a tangible, reliable, and personal tool to guide students aged 5-11 through their academic journey. Empower them with this essential resource, and watch them thrive both academically and personally. Perfect for parents, teachers, and guardians who want to provide the best for their young learners.

    • A Quiet Education: Challenging the extrovert ideal in our schools

      08
      ‘A Quiet Education’ serves as an unashamed cheerleader for all that is quiet, challenging the myth that collaboration and noise should be at the heart of what happens in schools. It examines how we can ensure more introverted students and teachers can thrive and achieve their potential. It also explores why it is essential that all teachers begin to embrace quieter values: in their classrooms and management of behaviour; in sustaining their own wellbeing; in their desire to reflect meaningfully and improve as a teacher. The final section is an exploration of quieter skills: how we can strengthen our students’ metacognitive ability; their ability to listen, pay attention and focus; the quality of independent work we do in the classroom alongside how we can motivate all our students.

    • Critical Incidents in Teaching (Classic Edition): Developing professional judgement (Routledge Education Classic Edition)

      04

      What are the ‘instincts’ of a good teacher?

      Can they be taught?

      Good teachers use good techniques and routines, but techniques and routines alone do not produce good teaching. The real art of teaching lies in teachers’ professional judgement because in teaching there is seldom one “right answer”. This combination of experience, flexibility, informed opinion and constant self-monitoring is not easy to acquire, but in this re-released classic edition of Critical Incidents in Teaching – in print since 1993 and which includes a new introduction from the author – David Tripp shows how teachers can draw on their own classroom experience to develop it.

      In this practical and unique guide, the author offers a range of strategies for approaching critical incidents and gives advice on how to develop a critical incident file. Illustrated with numerous classroom examples for discussion and reflection, Critical Incidents in Teaching is for everyone concerned with the development of professionalism in teaching. Although aimed at teachers who want to improve their own practice and pass on their expertise to others, it is also part of David’s long term agenda to improve the public status of teaching and to encourage more inductive research in education; he sees classrooms as situations to be explained rather than as places in which to apply theories developed in other disciplines.

    • Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain: Promoting Authentic Engagement and Rigor Among Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students

       A bold, brain-based teaching approach to culturally responsive instruction

       

      The achievement gap remains a stubborn problem for educators of culturally and linguistically diverse students. With the introduction of the rigorous Common Core State Standards, diverse classrooms need a proven framework for optimizing student engagement and facilitating deeper learning

       

      Culturally responsive pedagogy has shown great promise in meeting this need, but many educators still struggle with its implementation. In this book, Zaretta Hammond draws on cutting-edge neuroscience research to offer an innovative approach for designing and implementing brain-compatible culturally responsive instruction.

       

      The book includes:

       

      • Information on how one’s culture programs the brain to process data and affects learning relationships
      • Ten “key moves” to build students’ learner operating systems and prepare them to become independent learners
      • Prompts for action and valuable self-reflection

       

      With a firm understanding of these techniques and principles, teachers and instructional leaders will confidently reap the benefits of culturally responsive instruction.

      “An essential, compelling, and practical examination of the relationship between culture and cognition that will forever transform how we think about our role facilitating the learning of other people’s children―and our own children!

      ―LaShawn Routé Chatmon, Executive Director

      National Equity Project

       

      “All students can and will learn at high levels when provided the type of instruction described in this book. This work calls us to action by mandating that we move beyond looking for student outcomes that rely heavily on the regurgitation of memorized facts to applying the information learned to new situations.”

      • Questioning Technique Pocketbook

        08
        Research shows that when teachers think more about questioning – deepening their understanding, extending their range of strategies and planning their questions – responses from pupils improve and engagement and learning increase. Teachers’ questions play a critical role, not just for the thinking they provoke, but in the modelling of questioning skills and the development of curiosity. Using cartoons, diagrams and visual prompts to support the text, this highly practical Pocketbook is suitable for all teachers. It separates out the elements of questioning – framing them, delivering them, and responding to the answers – and offers both simple tweaks and fundamental shifts to turn instinctive practice into a highly effective teaching and learning tool. An introductory chapter looks at how questions stimulate learning and includes a range of questioning taxonomies and models. This leads on to how to build ‘a questioning environment’ that encourages participation, sharing, exploration and thoughtful responses. A section entitled ‘Framing Questions’ identifies different kinds of questions and how they work, and subsequent chapters cover ways to deliver questions and respond to the answers you are given. A final short section provides checklists for monitoring and improving practice. Gorden Pope has over 25 years’ experience in education as a teacher, LA adviser and now an independent consultant and Associate MA Ed. Tutor. He specialises in developing and delivering CPD in teaching and learning for teachers in the UK and overseas.

      • Biology Made Real: Ways of Teaching that Inspire Meaning-Making

        08
        ‘This outstanding book… deserves to be very widely read. I hope it makes a major contribution to how school biology is taught.’
        —Dr Michael J. Reiss, Professor of Science Education, University of London

        ‘This is a book that all teachers, not just biology teachers should read.’
        —Ben Strathearn-Burrows, Head of Biology, Emanuel School

        Introduction
        I’ve been motivated to discover what biology is to us as humans. What it means to understand biology, and how I could make it meaningful for my students. I’ve read as much as I could and reflected, I’ve discussed and listened, I’ve taught and observed. This book is about sharing what I’ve learnt with my secondary-school mixed-attainment biology classes.

        ‘Not only is this book likely to change how you teach biology but also how you perceive yourself within the living world.’
        —Dr Alex Sinclair, Institute of Education, St Mary’s University, Twickenham

        What you’ll find inside:

        • A vision for an integrated and meaningful biology education.
        • A framework for teaching for meaning-making, which cuts planning time.
        • Ways of creating a unified narrative across disparate topics.
        • A taxonomy of understanding that unlocks problem-solving with minimal workload.
        • Tried and tested examples from mixed-attainment biology classrooms.

        Chapter 1: Meaningful biology relates principally to organisms:
        This sets the scene for the whole book. It brings together many threads to define what I see as most meaningful to secondary biology students. And therefore what we could do about it when designing our lessons & curricula and thinking about how students progress through their biology education. Planning for meaning-making has vastly enhanced interest and motivation to learn in my classroom.

        Chapters 2 & 3: Teaching for meaning using variation theory:
        Next I introduce a powerful—relatively unknown and often misunderstood—pedagogical theory. Variation theory. In these chapters I set out to show how useful it is—and easy to use—in the secondary biology classroom, with many examples.

        Chapter 4: How to integrate organisms, ecology & evolution:
        Now I pull together the previous chapters to present a new framework for teaching for meaning-making that cuts planning time & focuses on biology.

        ‘An excellent text demanding we think not just about what we teach but also why and how.’
        —Dr Paul Ganderton, Consultant and researcher

        Chapter 5: Concepts of the organism that unite a biology course:
        Here I discuss two concepts that I think can unify all the topics on the curriculum.
        1. Seeing biology through thermodynamic systems lens and
        2. Seeing biology through an ecological-evolutionary lens via the concept of life strategies. I lay out the reasons why and discuss how I’ve introduced these ideas with students.

        Chapter 6: Teaching systems thinking to help students see interconnectedness:
        I show how stock and flow diagrams are very useful for the biology classroom and give examples. Next, I introduce a new taxonomy of understanding biological systems that unlocks problem-solving in biology.

        Chapter 7: Establishing a thinking classroom:
        This chapter is focused on the whys and hows of embedding the taxonomy into biology curricula. I give examples of how I use it and examples of my students answers from lower and upper secondary courses.

        Chapter 8: Navigating classroom and biological complexity:
        This chapter rounds up the book by considering the complexity of our subject and the classroom.

        ‘Biology Made Real comes with an education health warning—be prepared to have your beliefs challenged.’
        —Dr Alex Sinclair

        08
        This book is the ultimate guide to differentiation in early years, schools and further education settings by Sue Cowley, bestselling author of Getting the Buggers to Behave. It offers over 90 practical and time-saving strategies for effective differentiation in every classroom.

        The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation demonstrates how teachers already differentiate much of the time, in subtle and creative ways.

The book takes the reader through the different methods and approaches to differentiation, providing a step-by-step guide to each. It is broken down into five core areas – planning, resources, learners, teaching and assessment – and readers can dip in and out to find strategies as and when they need them.

        Written in Sue’s much loved realistic, honest and practical style, The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation will help teachers, practitioners and support staff to feel confident that they are meeting the needs of every learner.
