Connecting with Students

Allen N. Mendler

Connecting with Students

In a time of an increasingly rigid «zero tolerance» of the slightest hint of violence, which results in automatic suspension or expulsion, Allen N. Mendler calls for a more caring, flexible approach to school safety. Easily tailored to any learning environment, the activities and guidelines provide you with the tools you need in the classroom, from the «H & H» greeting to the «2 x 10» method and the «4H,» «think-aloud,» and «paradoxical» strategies.

Rethinking Grading

Cathy Vatterott

Rethinking Grading

Grading systems often reward on-time task completion and penalize disorganization and bad behavior. Despite our best intentions, grades seem to reflect student compliance more than student learning and engagement. In the process, we inadvertently subvert the learning process. After careful research and years of experiences with grading as a teacher and a parent, Cathy Vatterott examines and debunks traditional practices and policies of grading in K–12 schools. She offers a new paradigm for...

“This is our THIRD school improvement plan! Why aren’t we seeing any results?” “We have all of this data, but we don’t know what to do with it!” “What does this workshop have to do with the goals we set for our school? Many of today’s school leaders have all the latest tools, techniques, and programs for school improvement. Unfortunately, some leaders fail to create real, sustainable results for their schools because they use one or two “flavor-of-the-month” strategies without connecting...

James R. Delisle

Doing Poorly on Purpose

By focusing on smart kids who get poor grades—not because they’re unable to do better in school but because they don’t want to—Delisle presents a snapshot of underachievement that may look far different from what you envision it to be. There is no such thing as a “classic underachiever.” Students (and their...

Closing the Attitude Gap

In this inspiring and thought-provoking follow-up to his 2009 best-seller Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life, Baruti Kafele makes the case that the achievement gap between white and minority students can be closed only if educators first transform students’ negative attitudes toward learning. According to Kafele, educators can achieve remarkable results by focusing on five key areas: * The teacher’s attitude toward students * The teacher’s relationship with students *...

The Best Schools

Thomas Armstrong

Educators, politicians, parents, and even students are consumed with speaking the language of academic achievement. Yet something is missing in the current focus on accountability, standardized testing, and adequate yearly progress. If schools continue to focus the conversation on rigor and accountability and ignore more human elements of education, many students may miss out on opportunities to discover the richness of individual exploration that schools can foster. In The Best Schools ,...

Schooling for Life

Jacqueline Grennon Brooks

Schooling for Life

Too many students experience school as a place to put in time . . . and view their lives within school walls as distinctly different from their lives at home and in their community. Too many educators seem to share that point of view and focus more on lists of standards than the students they are supposed to serve. This book is about how we might blur the distinctions between “school life” and “real life,” between learning and teaching, between learning well and living well. It’s for anyone who...
