Download or read book Handbook of Research on Writing Instruction Practices for Equitable and Effective Teaching written by Hodges, Tracey S. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing is a critical component for teaching children about advocacy and empowering student voice, as well as an essential tool for learning in many disciplines. Yet, writing instruction in schools often focuses on traditional methods such as the composition of five-paragraph essays or the adherence to proper grammatical conventions. While these are two components of writing instruction and preparation in education, they only provide a small glimpse into the depth and breadth of writing. As such, writing instruction is increasingly complex and requires multiple perspectives and levels of skill among teachers. The Handbook of Research on Writing Instruction Practices for Equitable and Effective Teaching serves as a comprehensive reference of issues related to writing instruction and leading research about perspectives, methods, and approaches for equitable and effective writing instruction. It includes practices beyond K-12, including best writing practices at the college level as well as the development of future teachers. Providing unique coverage on culturally relevant writing, socio- and racio-linguistic justice, and urgent writing pedagogies, this major reference work is an indispensable resource for administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, libraries, government officials, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life written by Vimala Rodgers and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we purposefully change our handwriting, we introduce attitudes that can improve our relationships, give us the impetus to achieve and take risks, and simply bring out the best in us. This is because our handwriting is a reflection of our innermost thoughts and feelings. When we fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, our view of life is dramatically altered and, as a result, our handwriting patterns change. Conversely, desired transformations can result from intentionally changing the way specific letters are written: * Stick to that diet by changing the letter T. * Avoid being overlooked for that well-deserved promotion by changing the letter G. * Reduce stress and cease juggling too many things at once by changing the letter S. * Overcome shyness or stage fright by changing the letter A. Included is an enlightening assessment test that identifies those personality traits requiring attention. Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life profoundly reveals that the key to making dreams come true is as simple as putting pen to paper.

Download or read book The Knowledge Gap written by Natalie Wexler and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.

Download or read book The Two Digit Revolution written by Celia BA MA CPC and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations, American school children were taught to write in joined letters. Current educational policies have eliminated this essential skill from the curriculum; in many school districts, children are no longer taught to read or write in cursive. With installation of screens and keyboards in the classroom, is cursive handwriting an outdated technology, irrelevant in the modern digital world? This book explores two major questions: 1. Why should we care about teaching cursive handwriting to our children?2. What are possibly lost to children's cognitive development when thoughts are typed on the screen instead of written on paper in long hand? If these questions cross your mind even in a most fleeting way, this book invites you to read about a wide cross-reference of independent research studies on brain activity and the hand as it holds a writing implement to create letter forms, connecting them to form words. It presents a compelling case for the reinstatement of cursive instruction even as today's children aim for proficiency in keyboarding. The author, Celia M. Batan, highlights studies that give decision-makers in public education pause: keyboarding skills do not replace hand-writing skills. While keyboarding is an undeniably important part of the future, evidence suggest that it does not provide the benefits that cursive handwriting does. "[Cursive handwriting] shapes the executive functions of the brain for successful academic performance while enhancing creative and critical thinking practices required for meaningful interpretations of what we see. Even more compelling is how handwriting instruction influences neuroplasticity of the brain and contributes to character development and psychological healing". This book details the connections between the practice of writing by hand and the development of brain executive functions, made by neuroscientists, educators, cognitive scientists, physiologists, occupational therapists, art therapists, graphologists, and psychologists . It is about developing foundations for 'fluid intelligence'-- that is, handling of situations with self-regulation-- through continued practice in penmanship K-12. It is beyond 'beautiful handwriting' that cursive writing is most commonly remembered for. In fact, it details how the practice of joining letters is an unrecognized vehicle for achieving objectives in State standards for reading, language arts, and STEM subjects. Drawing on studies from diverse fields, Ms. Batan reveals how cursive makes significant contributions to overall cognitive development in early childhood, reading comprehension, writing fluency, improved scores in spelling and syntax- all leading to success in academic and career tracks for 21st century economies, which require skills that a visionary aptly defines: to develop "better ideas to solve more difficult problems". Appendices offer a comparison of penmanship samples of students in the USA and Asia: K-12 and adult education. They also invite educators to consider teachers' ideas on how to incorporate cursive instruction in daily classroom activities for K-5 grade levels. The author prescribes hand-writing thoughts, outlines, and drafts, then typing for word processing functions: storage, retrieval, layout, and printing copies.With Ms. Batan's reminder that 2019 kindergarteners are the workforce for the year 2036, the book is worth your consideration. At this publication, 15 States have returned to cursive instruction in the primary grades.
