Measuring Student Learning in Any Setting

Design assessments that measure and target student learning in both face-to-face anddistance learning environments

Assessments are the essential link between teaching and learning, yet the assessments used in face-to-face classrooms are not always practical or impactful in remote learning environments. Now that teachers are teaching from a distance, how will you assess what your students have learned? 

Tapping the expertise of teachers who are successfully engaged in distance learning,The Assessment Playbook for Distance and Blended Learninganswers that question. Rich with a wide range of examples, strategies, and assessments that can be leveraged with rigor and fidelity regardless of learning environment, this practical playbook empowers teachers with the decision-making tools needed to gauge the impact of instructional strategies in today's rapidly evolving educational landscape. It features

·         "Assessment cookies," or insights that endure in any distance or hybrid learning environment and can be used to inform assessment decisions, including the understanding that "everything is searchable."

·         A robust "playlist" of distance learning assessment tools--including universal response, teach-back opportunities, composing, taking action, self-assessment, and peer assessment--that teachers can mix and deploy to match every learning intention.

·         Information on how to evaluate the impact of your teaching on student learning--and how assessment can guide your teaching moves

·         Characteristics of formal tools of evaluation, such as tests, longer essays, and performance tasks that teachers can use in distance learning environments to document learning for reporting purposes.

How We Persuade Students to Believe and Act on Smart Is Something You Can Get

The myth of fixed intelligence debunkedFor all the productive conversation around "mindsets," what's missing are the details of how to convince our discouraged and underperforming students that "smart is something you can get." Until now. With the publication of High-Expectations Teaching, Jon Saphier reveals once and for all evidence that the bell curve of ability is plain wrong--that ability is something that can be grown significantly if we can first help students to believe in themselves. In drill-down detail, Saphier provides an instructional playbook for increasing student confidence and agency in the daily flow of classroom life:

 * Powerful  strategies for attribution retraining, organized around  50 Ways to Get Students to Believe in Themselves  
 * Concrete examples, scripts, and classroom structures and routines for empowering student agency and choice
 * Dozens of accompanying videos showing high-expectations strategies in action

All children in all schools, regardless of income or social class, will benefit from the strategies in this book. But for children of poverty and children of color, our proficiency with these skills is essential . . . in many ways life saving. Jon Saphier challenges us all--educators, students, and parents--to get started today.About Jon SaphierThe author of nine books, including The Skillful Teacher, Jon Saphier is founder and president of Research for Better Teaching, Inc. (RBT), a professional development organization dedicated since 1979 to improving classroom teaching and school leadership throughout the United States and internationally.

If you already have a strong grasp on the Common Core and are eager to do something about it, this book's research-based strategies will help you respond to the demands of the new standards, particularly the English language arts standards that affect every subject area and grade level. Drawing from the research on which classroom strategies are your "best bets" for improving student achievement, the authors provide what you need to reinforce the Common Core in your lessons, including: a rationale for using each strategy to address the goals of the common core; research that supports the use of each strategy; steps for implementing each strategy in the classroom; sample lessons in multiple grade levels and subjects; and planning considerations to make certain your use of the strategy helps students become better at reading, understanding, using, and communicating rigorous texts. This practical book's teaching recommendations and sample lessons draw on six tips for inspired instruction that ensure your lessons capture students' interest, deepen their understanding, and extend their thinking about required course content. --Publisher description.

A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE, AND INSPIRE All of us can recall a certain teacher—a very special someone—who inspired us to learn. This person is usually a school teacher, but may also be a coach, mentor, parent or friend. Teachers come in many shapes and sizes, but what is it that makes one great? This book gives many answers to this question, from many sources. It includes quotes from famous thinkers, leaders and speakers, as well as letters from little known—yet highly insightful—students and teachers. You will find these comments fun, inspirational and even powerful! This tribute to and for teachers celebrates the special, and often heroic, role they play in their students' lives. Teachers work for love, not money. Yet they often receive too little reimbursement in the form of our gratitude. Teachers are Special is created as a simple way of saying "Thank you" to our most inspiring teachers. Offer it as a gift to a special educator, or read it to remind yourself of the value of learning.

The second edition of A BIOGRAPHY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE continues to examine the structure of language. The textbook discusses three important issues: languages and language change are systematic; the inner history of a language is profoundly affected by its outer history of political and culural events; and the English of the past has everywhere left its traces on present-day English. By uncovering the language's past, one can better communicate with it.

Inspirational and just plain fun, the words of celebrities, scholars, and comedians, coupled with the insight of students young and old, reveal teaching to be among the noblest of pro-fessions. Teachers: Jokes, Quotes, and Anecdotes is a reminder of the importance of teachers- and the tough job they have in training young minds . .. while keeping their wits about them.

Jokes, Quotes, and Anecdotes

Teachers are some of the most beloved people in the world. That's only one of the reasons why it's so easy to make fun of them. The witty, amusing, and heartwarming tidbits collected here will charm educators and their fans alike. For instance, when asked to give definitions of clouds, a classroom of elementary students provided such definitions as "Rain is saved up in cloud banks," "Clouds are high-flying fogs," and "I'm not sure how clouds get formed, but the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing."This book is a natural gift for our children's favorite teachers.

A Novel

"A rare and exquisite story . . . Transports you out of time, out of place, into a world you can feel on your very skin." —Elizabeth Gilbert The New York Times bestseller Janice Y.K. Lee's latest novel, The Expatriates, is now available from Penguin In the sweeping tradition of The English Patient, Janice Y.K. Lee's debut novel is a tale of love and betrayal set in war-torn Hong Kong. In 1942, Englishman Will Truesdale falls headlong into a passionate relationship with Trudy Liang, a beautiful Eurasian socialite. But their affair is soon threatened by the invasion of the Japanese as World War II overwhelms their part of the world. Ten years later, Claire Pendleton comes to Hong Kong to work as a piano teacher and also begins a fateful affair. As the threads of this spellbinding novel intertwine, impossible choices emerge-between love and safety, courage and survival, the present, and above all, the past.

Responding to the Needs of All Learners

Although much has changed in schools in recent years, the power of differentiated instruction remains the same-and the need for it has only increased.

Today's classroom is more diverse, more inclusive, and more plugged into technology than ever before. And it's led by teachers under enormous pressure to help decidedly unstandardized students meet an expanding set of rigorous, standardized learning targets. In this updated second edition of her best-selling classic work, Carol Ann Tomlinson offers these teachers a powerful and practical way to meet a challenge that is both very modern and completely timeless: how to divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively instruct so many students of various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests.

With a perspective informed by advances in research and deepened by more than 15 years of implementation feedback in all types of schools, Tomlinson explains the theoretical basis of differentiated instruction, explores the variables of curriculum and learning environment, shares dozens of instructional strategies, and then goes inside elementary and secondary classrooms in nearly all subject areas to illustrate how real teachers are applying differentiation principles and strategies to respond to the needs of all learners.

This book's insightful guidance on what to differentiate, how to differentiate, and why lays the groundwork for bringing differentiated instruction into your own classroom or refining the work you already do to help each of your wonderfully unique learners move toward greater knowledge, more advanced skills, and expanded understanding. Today more than ever, The Differentiated Classroom is a must-have staple for every teacher's shelf and every school's professional development collection.

It's Only Ever about the Students

In today's educational climate of budget shortages, rigid testing standards, and diminishing autonomy in the classroom, how can teachers bring creativity and passion back into their work? Teach Your Class Off offers educators struggling with these issues and feeling burnt out a way to hit the reset button and reconnect with what energizes them about teaching.

CJ Reynolds, well-known to the 45,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, Real Rap with Reynolds, breaks down his methods for learning to teach outside your comfort zone, bringing real-world experiences into your students' lives, using DJ skills to manage the classroom, and finding a way to make magic in your class despite diminishing resources. The refreshing honesty of Reynolds's perspective coupled with his infectious optimism make this a great go-to for any teacher looking for much-needed inspiration.



Teach Your Class Off is spoken truth meets slam poetry meets education. Just like Reynolds, this book is real, authentic, and relevant. I couldn't put it down --HAMISH BREWER, AUTHOR OF RELENTLESS

Teach Your Class Off is like no other book you've ever read, and I guarantee you're going to learn new strategies, laugh, and probably even cry at some of the stories. Ten thumbs up --ADAM WELCOME, EDUCATOR, AUTHOR, SPEAKER, CONSULTANT

There are two types of teachers: those who simply transmit information and those who facilitate transformation. CJ Reynolds is the latter. He understands the importance of reaching the mind through the heart.--DR. DHARIUS DANIELS, AUTHOR OF RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE, LEAD PASTOR, CHANGE CHURCH

A Guide for Cultivating Mindfulness in Education

Happy Teachers Change the World is the first official, authoritative manual of the Thich Nhat Hanh/Plum Village approach to mindfulness in education. Spanning the whole range of schools and grade levels, from preschool through higher education, these techniques are grounded in the everyday world of schools, colleges, and universities. Beginning firmly with teachers and all those working with students, including administrators, counselors, and other personnel, the Plum Village approach stresses that educators must first establish their own mindfulness practice since everything they do in the classroom will be based on that foundation. The book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step techniques perfected by educators to teach themselves and to apply to their work with students and colleagues, along with inspirational stories of the ways in which teachers have made mindfulness practice alive and relevant for themselves and their students across the school and out into the community. The instructions in Happy Teachers Change the World are offered as basic practices taught by Thich Nhat Hanh, followed by guidance from educators using these practices in their classrooms, with ample in-class interpretations, activities, tips, and instructions. Woven throughout are stories from members of the Plum Village community around the world who are applying these teachings in their own lives and educational contexts.
