Download or read book Conferring written by Patrick A. Allen and published by Stenhouse Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his workshops with teachers over the years, Patrick Allen has encountered a long list of "counterfeit beliefs" about the process of conferring with students, including such comments as: "I don't have time. I don't know what questions to ask, It's too hard, I don't know what to write in my notes, I don't even take notes, I don't know how to go deep. . ." In Conferring: The Keystone of Reader's Workshop, Allen argues that the benefits of conferring are well-worth the effort of learning to do it well. And then he sets out to show teachers how to overcome all of their perceived obstacles, and make the somewhat intangible aspect of conferring tangible. Just as the keystone--a symmetrical, wedge-shaped stone at the center of an arch--forms the foundation of a structure, conferring lays the groundwork for effective reading instruction. Allen defines the word confer as a verb "meaning to consult together, compare opinions, or carry on a conversation." Conferences with students are purposeful conversations that scaffold reading comprehension strategies that guide the reader's progress, and ultimately, through the gradual release of responsibility, create independent readers. Allen begins by explaining what conferring is and what it's not, and then unpacks the essential components of the process: intimacy (the social context of conferring); rigor (the cognitive context); and inquiry (the analytical context). He explores the guiding principles of conferring--including goal setting, instruction points, listening, rapport, challenges, and teacher learning--and provides questions that lead teachers through the reader's conference from start to finish.

Book excerpt: Weve all read or heard somewhere that our students are supposed to be reading for a large part of our readers workshop. But, what do we do when they are reading? How do we do conferring in a way that is manageable and effective for our students? How do we know if Sarah chose an appropriate book?

This book provides the everyday, working teacher with dialogue from real reading conferences, the benefits of why we do this, and the ever allusive how to confer effectively and keep it going all year long. This book will be enlightening to any teacher who confers, wants to confer or has tried and stopped. It will be an effective tool for the seasoned veteran or the first year teacher. Join us on our journey through the Heart of Conferring.
Download or read book Elections Parties Democracy written by Michael D. McDonald and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold venture into political theory and comparative politics combines traditional concerns about democracy with modern analytical methods. It asks how contemporary democracies work, an essential stage in asking how they can be justified. An answer to both questions is found in the idea of the median mandate. The voter in the middle - the voice of the majority - empowers the centre party in parliament to translate his or her preferences into public policy. The median mandateprovides a unified theory of democracy - pluralist, consensus, majoritarian, liberal, and populist - by replacing each qualified 'vision' with an integrated account of how representative institutions work. The unified theory is put to the test with comprehensive cross-national evidence covering 21democracies from 1950 through to 1995.This exciting book will be of interest to specialists and general readers alike, representing as it does a reaffirmation of traditional democratic practice in an uncertain and threatening world.Comparative Politics is a series for students and teachers of political science that deals with contemporary government and politics. The General Editors are Max Kaase, Professor of Political Science, Vice President and Dean, School of Humanities and Social Science, International University, Bremen, Germany; and Kenneth Newton, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Southampton. The series is published in association with the European Consortium for PoliticalResearch.
