Personal connections between teachers and students can be the key motivator in student interest and achievement in school. Yet teachers have little knowledge about how to establish the relationships that can instill in their students a desire to learn and an incentive to minimize negative behaviors in the classroom.

The six keys identified to successful classroom management based on the concepts of the Process Communication Model(R) are: 1.Know Yourself 2.Know Your Students 3.Examine Current Strategies 4.Motivate by Type 5.Develop Intervention Strategies 6.Create a Multifaceted Environment The authors offer teachers unique and easy-to-implement strategies for managing their classrooms and their students.

Download or read book The Ten Keys to Successful Teaching written by Mario Gonzalez and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2007-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ten Keys to Successful Teaching is a step-by-step, realistic and applicable teaching strategy. It is a hands-on and trial-and-error approach, with an emphasis on fostering, promoting, and developing an atmosphere of high expectation for both the teacher and student. I realized that a teaching career has become very enticing, with many school districts becoming creative to attract college students to professionals desiring to teach. The school districts have implemented incentives such as day care services, stipends, higher salaries, insurance discounts, pardoned student loans, partial payments on home rentals, and tuition reimbursement in shortage areas. Even though the school districts are attracting many high-quality teachers, retention has been a major problem. Many school districts have not been able to keep a large number of teachers entering the field. One main factor, classroom management and discipline in the classroom.

It develops in depth not only the philosophy but also the nuts-and-bolts application of each individual Phase, the critical Transitions between Phases and the "big-picture" vision to begin with the end in mind. Those who master the content in this book leave behind the question, "But how do you actually DO it?" A Crisis of Leadership The world's problems can be summed up in just a few words: lack of leadership. While the world is in desperate need of leaders, very few people have the tools to become one. Oliver and Rachel DeMille's Leadership Education: The Phases of Learning is the manual that every person who aspires to be an effective leader, or to raise one, needs. Principled decision-making, the cultivation of character, studying the classics, and using critical thinking skills are just a few of the lost educational virtues of today restored by this book. An in-depth look at the philosophy and phases of education is indispensable when creating leaders. This book will help any family find the direction they are looking for when pursuing leadership education. This book teaches not only the theories behind Thomas Jefferson Education but also the practical application of these theories for you and your children, with great detail on the features of Thomas Jefferson Education-modeled home, parenting, family, education, leadership and life's mission. As we apply the philosophy contained in Leadership Education: The Phases of Learning we will transform not only our families and our classrooms, but the world.

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 Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom written by Carol A. Tomlinson and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2013 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carol Ann Tomlinson and Tonya R. Moon take an in-depth look at assessment and show how differentiation can improve the process in all grade levels and subject areas. After discussing differentiation in general, the authors focus on how differentiation applies to various forms of assessment--pre-assessment, formative assessment, and summative assessment--and to grading and report cards. Readers learn how differentiation can --Capture student interest and increase motivation --Clarify teachers' understanding about what is most important to teach --Enhance students' and teachers' belief in student learning capacity; and --Help teachers understand their students' individual similarities and differences so they can reach more students, more effectively Throughout, Tomlinson and Moon emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent focus on the essential knowledge, understandings, and skills that all students must acquire, no matter what their starting point. Detailed scenarios illustrate how assessment differentiation can occur in three realms (student readiness, interest, and learning style or preference) and how it can improve assessment validity and reliability and decrease errors and teacher bias. Grounded in research and the authors' teaching experience, Assessment and Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom outlines a common-sense approach that is both thoughtful and practical, and that empowers teachers and students to discover, strive for, and achieve their true potential.

Download or read book Teachers Make the Difference written by Kaye Dean and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many keys to successful teaching and learning, but this book will focus on the keys that have the biggest impact on classroom instruction. With the huge emphasis today on accountability and testing that leaves teachers and students wanting and needing more instruction time, it becomes essential that avenues be visited that will enhance learning. The goal of all instruction in schools today is increased student learning. In order to reach that goal, greater retention becomes the guiding principle of instruction. When students achieve greater retention, then they will learn more in less time. Teachers must be allowed the freedom to teach (and not be scripted by textbooks), because they have the greatest influence on learning. With assessments taking up so much time that could be used for instruction, teachers run out of time to complete the instructional cycle. Students are left with learning partial concepts and not learning some concepts at all. Teachers make the difference, let them teach!
Download or read book The Highly Effective Teacher written by Jeff C. Marshall and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the secrets to unlocking student success? And what can teachers do to get better at helping students develop deep understanding of content, attain higher-order thinking skills, and become secure, confident, and capable learners? In this book, teacher and professor Jeff Marshall showcases how teaching with intentionality answers these questions. Specifically, he introduces the Teacher Intentionality Practice Scale (TIPS), a framework for both supporting and measuring effective teaching. Taken together, the framework’s seven TIPs provide a research-based, classroom-tested guide to help teachers * create coherent, connected lessons; * use strategies and resources, including technology, that truly enhance learning; * organize a safe, respectful learning environment; * develop challenging and rigorous learning experiences; * promote interactive, thoughtful learning; * nurture a creative, problem-solving classroom culture; and * deliver feedback and formative assessment that inform teaching and learning. Marshall’s needs-assessment instrument can help teachers, working independently or in a cohort, determine the best starting point for improving their practice. Practical, straightforward rubrics for each TIP describe the various levels of teacher proficiency. Based on his own teaching experience and observations in hundreds of classrooms, Marshall also offers action tips for each framework component and a list of resources for further study. Written for teachers and leaders at all levels and in all content areas, The Highly Effective Teacher is a guidebook for thoughtful, intentional teaching with one goal: success for all students, in every classroom.
