Download or read book Great Performances written by Larry Lewin and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What grade did you give me? students often ask teachers, as if teachers randomly assign grades. Too many students do not understand how their academic performance in the classroom corresponds with various grades. Improving students' understanding of what their teachers expect them to do, how well they should be able to do it, and how they should go about accomplishing it is what this book is all about. Lewin and Shoemaker show you how to teach rich, integrated, thematic units of instruction where students grapple with meaty conceptual ideas and use the processes of reading, writing, problem solving, and investigation. The authors share what they've learned about developing and assessing powerful performance tasks ranging from short and specific to lengthy and substantive. Their focus is on the practical, the doable. You can learn from their successes as well as their mistakes. The authors discuss a four-step approach for teaching students how to acquire content knowledge labeled "Info In" and examine four "Info Out" modes through which students can make their content understanding explicit for evaluation purposes. Great Performances is filled with highly motivating examples of student projects as well as effective assessment tools that teachers can adapt for their own classrooms. In this new edition, you will find: -updated examples and scoring mechanisms throughout the chapters; -expanded options for converting performance task scores into required letter grades for reporting to parents; and -a new chapter on reading assessment to help teachers navigate their way through Response to Intervention. This chapter also provides as a helpful review of popular commercially published in-class reading assessments. Teaching to and assessing with performance tasks result in true understanding—the type of understanding students will need in the world, where they will be expected to produce "Great Performances."

Download or read book Holographic Reprocessing written by and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holographic Reprocessing (HR) is a cognitive-experiential psychotherapy based on Seymour Epstein's theory of personality, cognitive experiential self-theory (CEST). According to CEST, people have a natural adaptive system for processing information. If an emotionally distressing event is not fully processed, people may attempt to resolve the stuck point, known as emotional blockage, by unconsciously setting up situations that recreate the original experience. A reenactment can facilitate a healthy confrontation of the issue, but it is not uncommon that this reenactment serves to reinforce negative perceptions and behavioral reactions. HR gives clients an opportunity to gain a new awareness and understanding of their re-enactments, thereby facilitating a constructive reorganization of their perceptual, emotional and behavioral tendencies. The hologram is used as a model for describing a pattern of these re-enactments - as each experience is a whole experience unto itself as well as being a part of a larger whole, and each experience contains information consistent with the larger pattern. The experience is holographic, and is termed an experiential hologram. These experiential holograms are holistic, integrative, and unique in terms of existing constructs such as a schema, belief, expectation, self-fulfilling prophecy, sensitivity, or script - constructs that are largely cognitive and only part of the holographic picture. The hologram also activates an experiential reaction including affect, sensations, and associations. The model of the experiential hologram is intended to more closely explain human experience, as it is assumed that experience itself is processed in a complex array of cognitions, affective reactions, sensations and associations. Written by a clinical psychologist specializing in the trauma therapy, this volume will guide mental health professionals through the use of holographic reprocessing in their treatment of trauma victims, from sufferers of PTSD to rape victims.

Download or read book Finding Emelyn written by Diane Richards and published by Waterside Productions. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surprises and inner secrets marked much of my life. Leaving behind a troubled childhood, I put myself through college and graduate school. I persevered to become a teacher, a school administrator, a counselor; to become "somebody." I succeeded in achieving my childhood dream: happy wife, proud mother, and founder of a school for struggling students. But the reality was more fragile than I knew. I was a workaholic, blind to my unhealthy lifestyle and skewed priorities; until the night I forgot my daughter's important concert because I was too busy with other people's children - my students. My feelings of selfishness crushed me; my work obsession clearly was out of control. Finding Emelyn Battersby Hartridge saved me. An impulsive (or guided) decision to go with a friend to a Dr. Weiss workshop on past-life regression sent me on a spiritual journey that would change my life. It led me to startlingly real visions of myself as a young girl immersed in the dancing, dining and drama of a prominent family in a post-Civil War mansion in Savannah, Georgia, more than a hundred years removed from my New Jersey world. When I visited Savannah as a tourist and saw the house in my visions, I began historical research and discovered Emelyn. Her life matched mine in eerie detail, from her family relationships to the school she founded with a mission statement that could have been plagiarized from mine. But were Emelyn's goals influencing my life at the expense of my own purpose? The journey didn't end there. A second surprise was that I have a gift for communicating with those who have died. As I did my first "reading" with an unknown woman as part of a workshop exercise, I told this stranger what I saw and heard from a man desperately needing to contact her. After revealing his messages, the woman shared that I had described her recently deceased husband. His death had left her on the verge of suicide and I knew details of their life that I could not logically have known. As this stranger embraced me, she whispered in my ear: you saved my life. I then knew there was no going back. It would be the first of many such amazing connections from beyond. My journey also required me to confront my own ghosts. I had to understand my father, a cruel, unhappy man who left our family. I had to understand my alcoholic stepfather and my mother who literally dragged me out of their house when I was 15 and sent me away. I had to find a way to forgive before I could own my life. Today, I am living my new passion, working in a spiritual realm that eases the grief of losing a loved one. This book is not intended to convince anyone that past lives or mediums are real. Finding Emelyn helped me find my path. I want to share my story in hopes that others will be inspired to listen to their hearts, heal the past, let go of fear and find their highest purpose, whatever it might be.
