A Guide for Teachers and Parents

At last, we have the scientific evidence that documents the many biological gender differences that influence learning. For instance, girls talk sooner, develop better vocabularies, read better, and have better fine motor skills. Boys, on the other hand, have better auditory memory, are better at three-dimensional reasoning, are more prone to explore, and achieve greater abstract design ability after puberty.

In this profoundly significant book, author Michael Gurian synthesizes the current knowledge and clearly demonstrates how this distinction in hard-wiring and socialized gender differences affects how boys and girls learn. Gurian presents a new way to educate our children based on brain science, neurological development, and chemical and hormonal disparities. The innovations presented in this book were applied in the classroom and proven successful, with dramatic improvements in test scores, during a two-year study that Gurian and his colleagues conducted in six Missouri school districts.

Challenging the Conventions of Grading and Reporting

On Your Mark: Challenging the Conventions of Grading and Reporting by Thomas R. Guskey asserts the need to align grading and reporting practices to truly reflect what students are learning in K 12 classrooms. The changes this book outlines might be controversial adjusting any system that has been in place for centuries will cause tension yet we owe it to our students to make sure grades accurately communicate their progress and help them improve. Rather than continuing down the wrong path out of delusion, fear, or tradition, we must use research to boldly move forward and better serve our students. The chapters first present changes that K 12 teachers and administrators can accomplish with a modest effort. They then lead up to the larger undertakings that demand a significant transformation of grading practices. Specifically, chapter 1 guides readers as they clarify the purpose of grades and craft a vision statement that aligns with this purpose. In chapters 2 and 3, readers will ques

Cold winters, hot summers--year after year the seasons repeat themselves. But what causes them? Why is there winter in the Southern Hemisphere at the same time there is summer in the Northern Hemisphere? In summertime, why is it still light out in the evening? With simple language appropriate for young readers, non-fiction master Gail Gibbons introduces young readers to the four seasons and explains why they change throughout the year. Newly revised and vetted by experts, this updated edition of The Reasons for Seasons introduces the solstices, the equinoxes, and the tilt in Earth's axis that causes them, and gives examples of what each season is like across the globe from pole to pole. Clear, simple diagrams of the earth's orbit are labeled with important vocabulary, explained and reinforced with accessible explanations. Fascinating and easy to understand, this is a perfect introduction to seasons, earth's orbit, and axial tilt. Different effects on different parts of the world are included, illustrating the difference in climate between the equator, the northern and southern hemispheres, and the polar regions.

One Size Doesn′t Fit All

Differentiated Instruction enables teachers to plan strategically in order to reach the needs of the diverse learners in classrooms today. In this volume, the authors share techniques for finding the strengths and uniqueness of each child, as well as identifying learning style theories and multiple intelligences along with tools to help teachers better know their students′ styles and preferences. Suggestions and examples of effective pre-assessment tools are outlined, as well as ideas for grading and tools to use during and after the learning process.

A practical process is outlined that allows teachers to adjust learning based on students′ knowledge, skills, past experiences, preferences and needs. Adjusting, compacting, and grouping are explored, and techniques to form groups and design interactions are examined. The authors discuss the most recent and best practices and pedagogy that make a difference in student achievement, and explore and outline brain-based strategies.

Supporting Each Student's Growth and Independence

A great reading conference only takes five minutes, but its impact can last a lifetime. That's because conferences are the critical, one-to-one teaching that forms the backbone of reading instruction. Conferring with Readersshows you how to confer well and demonstrates why a few moments with students every week can put them on the path to becoming better, more independent readers.

Conferring with Readersis a comprehensive guide that shows you how to determine what readers have learned and what they need to practice, then provides suggestions for targeting instruction to meet students' needs. It provides explicit teaching methods for use in effective conferences. You'll learn how to:
 * researcha student's use of skills through questions and observations
 * complimentto support and build upon successes
 * follow upon prior instruction for accountability and depth of understanding
 * explain a reading strategy by providing an explicit purpose and context
 * modelthe strategy to make the invisible brainwork of reading more visible
 * guide a readerinpracticing the strategy
 * link the strategy to independent reading.

Conferring with Readerspresents repeatable frameworks for conferences that focus on six specific purposes of reading instruction:
 * matching students to just-right books
 * reinforcing students' strengths
 * supporting students during whole-class studies
 * helping students move from one reading level to the next
 * holding students accountable for previous learning
 * deepening students' conversations about books in order to deepen their thinking.

What's more, each purpose is bolstered by an appendix of conference transcripts that support your teaching.
With all this plus ideas for planning instruction, keeping records of your conferences, and even conducting group sessions, Conferring with Readerswill make a big difference in how you teach reading-helping you feel confident and well equipped to foster each student's growth and independence as a reader.
