Describes the characteristics of students with mild disabilities, and clearly explains the best teaching practices for inclusive education, behavior management, social skill instruction, and modifying classroom instruction for students with mild disabilities, including learning disabilities, mild intellectual disabilities and emotional disturbance.

 

This new edition includes an elaboration of Response to Intervention (RTI), which since the last edition has become a focal point of research and literature among general and special educators.  This is a dynamic progression of cooperation between general and special education - primarily due to changes in the federal law regarding how students with learning disabilities are identified.

This is a practical, research-based text designed to guide teachers in the development and implementation of programs for second language learners.  This text blends theory and practice to provide grade-level and ESL teachers with the tools they need to differentiate literacy instruction for ELL students.

 

Organized around the major findings from the National Reading Report, Teaching Reading to ELL Students addresses a critical national need for teachers to have new and better information on how to address the literacy needs of English Language Learners.  Good teachers know that all children do not learn in the same way and at the same pace, and they are well aware that children who do not speak English need different methods to help them learn English and be successful readers and writers.  The authors address the need to move the field beyond the current ‘one size fits all’ paradigm toward a broader view of how to create meaningful and relevant literacy programs for English Language Learners.

 

For reading and writing instruction to be effective for Culturally Linguistically Diverse (CLD) students, meaning must be at the core of instruction.  This book stresses meaning and relevance as the basis for all instructional activities and strategies.  If meaning is at the center, it is not necessary to delay literacy instruction in English while students are learning to understand and speak English. The chapters in the book address in a concrete and specific way how literacy instruction needs to be modified for ELLs.  Modification does not mean doing the same thing only slower, more frequently, after school or on Saturdays.  Modification means doing something differently!

The Ninth Edition of this popular text from renowned educational psychologist Robert Slavin translates theory into practices that teachers can use in their classrooms with a further inquiry into the concept of intentionality and a thorough integration of standards. This edition highlights current issues and emerging trends in the field of educational psychology.

 

This edition continues to have in-depth, practical coverage with a focus on the intentional teacher by presenting up-to-the-minute research that a reflective, intentional teacher can apply. An “intentional teacher,” according to Slavin, is one who constantly reflects on his or her practice and makes instructional decisions based on a clear conception of how these practices affect students. To help readers become “intentional teachers,” the author offers a set of questions to guide them and models best practices through classroom examples.

 

Firmly rooted in research, up-to-date theory, and classroom-tested applications, Educational Psychology prepares teachers as no other text does. It teaches them to think about how students develop and learn, to make decisions before and during instruction, and to consider what constitutes evidence that their students are learning and succeeding.

Slavin's Ed Psych takes a serious look at pertinent research and focuses on what works and how a reflective, intentional teacher can apply it in the classroom. Reflective questions, vignettes, self-checks and other pedagogy challenge students to think about and make decisions that drive successful instruction. The new edition builds on these established features and adds an emphasis on media effects on Learning, NCLB and the Achievement Gap, Neuroscience, and more interactive and engaged learning opportunities for students.

 

This edition includes a new focus on reflection, new cases, sections on brain research, programs for language minority students, technology, No Child Left Behind, and after school and summer school programs.   It contains new critiques of assessment and accountability strategies and a substantially updated treatment of programming for students with special needs.

Engaging in the Language Arts is a new text that defines the discipline of language arts. This text emphasizes the need for teachers to draw upon the language power of students–the best language resource in their classrooms–in order to succeed in teaching to our increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse student body.

 

Engaging in the Language Arts offers students a firsthand look at the language challenges teachers will face and how teachers need to identify these language possibilities and know how to make optimal use of these possibilities in their classrooms. Distinguished author team Donna Ogle and Jim Beers have crafted an ideal text for instructors seeking a focus on contemporary communication and visual literacy, using varied genre and electronic resources. Ogle and Beers present a lively narrative, clear organization, exceptional pedagogy and special features that bring the language arts to life for teachers.

 

Unlike comparable texts, Engaging in the Language Arts helps teachers ensure that students learn to use language to communicate with others, to explore ideas, and to demonstrate their learning orally and in written formats. While covering all of the basic writing processes, the text places a unique emphasis on the actual purpose behind teaching writing and also includes classroom-based assessments and activities reflecting state and national standards that provide important resources to help teachers differentiate instruction.

This first edition text is designed to help pre-service teachers identify and confirm certification levels for their future careers, as well as better understand the learning process across the preK-12 environment.  An Introduction to Education: Choosing Your Teaching Path is unique due to its approach--focusing on 12 students (a variety from all grade levels) as well as teachers and administrators.  The author not only uses these focus students, teachers, and administrators in the opening chapter scenarios, but carries them through the text as classroom examples.

 

The text is accompanied by video that includes classroom footage of the focus students and teachers.  No other introduction to teaching text does this: realistically captures students and teachers in action, includes them in the text as examples, and also includes photographs of the focus subjects.

 

The overall theme is "how are the children?", reminding readers that no matter what they do in the classroom or in their professional development, that as a teacher they must always remember the student first in all actions.

This text emphasizes both constructivist and explicit strategies for teaching literacy to young children within an integrated language arts approach.

 

With a thought-provoking and rich presentation, renowned author Lesley Morrow explores literacy development as an active process between children and adults to create meaning and real purpose. The Sixth Edition presents a theoretical and research-based rationale for its contents, as well as extensive practical applications to help students grasp the scope and the complexity of early literacy development.

 

This Sixth Edition embraces integrated language arts and an interdisciplinary approach to literacy development as it addresses developing writing, reading, and oral language in the home and in school curriculum. The use of expository and narrative selections of children's literature is emphasized, as well as motivating children to become lifelong readers. This edition spends more time with strategies for preschool literacy and skill development in grades Pre-K through three. Both constructivist problem-solving teaching techniques and more explicit systematic instruction are discussed.

 

Key to this Sixth edition is the expanded coverage in the assessment chapter of the importance of assessment-guided instruction. In addition, differentiation of instruction has been made a high priority, and much more attention has been paid to dealing with children from diverse backgrounds. There are also more practical examples of how teachers can put strategies into practice than in other editions, especially with the new supplementary perforated pages that can be torn out of the book for actual use with children.

Teaching Learners of English in Mainstream Classrooms is a unique text designed to help K-8 classroom teachers integrate language learning into the content curriculum.

 

Today’s ELL and Literacy courses place an increasing emphasis on the integration of content and language learning in classroom lessons. This book helps teachers teach their grade level curriculum even though they may have English language learners in their classrooms. By using the strategies provided, teachers can promote content achievement for all of their students. Specificially written for content teachers, Linda New Levine and Mary Lou McCloskey’s clear and friendly writing style emphasizes practical application of known second language learning principles. This text clarifies concepts, defines key terms and offers classroom teachers practical strategies and tools not found in similar texts to integrate content and language learning, accelerating the academic achievement of their students. Sample thematic units provide strategies for integrating content and language learning. Techniques for developing reading writing and speaking skills in the content areas are also emphasized.

Research tells us that an inquiry approach to science teaching motivates and engages every type of student, helping them understand science's relevance to their lives, as well as the nature of science itself. Teaching Science as Inquiry demonstrates a manageable way for new and experienced teachers to bring inquiry successfully into the science classroom through a 2-part structure: Methods for Teaching Science as Inquiry and Activities for Teaching Science as Inquiry. The Methods portion scaffolds concepts and illustrates instructional models to help readers understand the inquiry approach to teaching. The Activities portion follows the 5-E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), a Learning Cycle model introduced in the methods chapters that reflects the NSES Science as Inquiry Standards.

 

With a new theme of "accountable inquiry," this leading methods text has a renewed focus on assessment (focusing on backwards planning, aligning objectives with assessments, and how to develop understanding of concepts that appear on standardized tests throughout the process of inquiry).

The Fifth Edition of this popular elementary science methods text emphasizes learning science through inquiry, implementation of the Learning Cycle, NSE standards, constructivism, technology, and strategies for teaching diverse learners.

Teaching Science for All Children employs an inquiry model throughout, especially apparent in the design of its learning cycle lesson plans. Engaging Questions, Exploration, Explanation, Expansion, and Evaluation make up the “Es” of this modern learning cycle based on the model first invented by Robert Karplus as part of the Science Curriculum Improvement Study in the 1960s. The text provides methods for future teachers to foster awareness and understanding among their students of the nature of science; to construct understandings of and connections between various science content; to encourage application of science inquiry processes in the classroom; and to develop their students’ understanding of the interactions between science, technology, and society.  The final sections of the book incorporate Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth and Space Science lessons as a means to convey important pedagogical content knowledge and ideas to implement in the elementary classroom.
