Download or read book Teaching Problems and the Problems of Teaching written by Magdalene Lampert and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book an experienced classroom teacher and noted researcher on teaching takes us into her fifth grade math class through the course of a year. Magdalene Lampert shows how classroom dynamics--the complex relationship of teacher, student, and content--are critical in the process of bringing each student to a deeper understanding of mathematics, or any other subject. She offers valuable insights into students and teaching for all who are concerned about improving the learning that happens in the classroom. Lampert considers the teacher's and students' work from many different angles, in views large and small. She analyzes her own practice in a particular classroom, student by student and moment by moment. She also investigates the particular kind of teaching that aims at engaging elementary school students in learning fundamentally important ideas and skills by working on problems. Finally, she looks at the common problems of teaching that occur regardless of the individuals, subject matter, or kinds of practice involved. Lampert arrives at an original model of teaching practice that casts new light on the complexity in teachers' work and on the ways teachers can successfully deal with teaching problems.

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 Teaching Youth Financial Literacy in Elementary School Classrooms written by Ben Popp and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Puckle and Friends introduce the plans they put into practice daily in order to have a secure and sound financial future. Do you know that the TV shows you watch, the toys you play with and your favorite fast food places, wouldn't be possible without anyone investing? Many everyday activities like riding your bike or playing video games, were made possible by people who gave their money to the creators, so they could bring their products to life! If nobody ever gave their money and invested in someone's idea or product, would we have many of the neat things we have today? If you knew that nobody was ever going to make new toys or video games again because they couldn't find people to borrow money from, would you give your money to the person who wants to bring it to life? Or do you want to play with the same toys and video games your whole life? Now do you see why investing is so important? In order to make new things, people need money to create them. If someone doesn't have the money to bring a great idea to life, they look for people to borrow money from called investors. Investors are people like you and I who give their money to a creator because they believe the creator's product is good enough to become successful; giving the investor more money than they let the creator borrow! Everybody wins. –Patrick Puckle & Friends Included is book-based teacher curriculum and student activities on investing!
