Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laser-beam focus on improving instruction to improve learning Saying "teaching matters most" is easy, and seems obvious. Making it the top priority for school leaders and staff is not so easy—in fact, it′s messy. If we want to change how students write, compute, and think, then teachers must change how they teach. They must transform the old "assign-and-assess" model into engaging, compassionate, coherent, and rigorous instruction. The authors show school leaders how to make this happen amidst myriad distractions, initiatives, and interruptions. Unlike other books that stop at evaluating teachers and instruction, this work demonstrates how to grow schools′ instructional capacities with a three-step process that involves: Envisioning what good teaching looks like Measuring the quality of current instruction against this standard Working relentlessly to move the quality of instruction closer and closer to the ideal The authors provide helpful guidance on issues such as hiring, induction, professional development, mentoring, and teacher evaluation. Each chapter offers specific action steps toward building the blueprint for improvement. Also included are frameworks for completing instructional audits in schools, and probes, instruments, and protocols for measuring and tracking the quality of instruction. Leaders will find excellent guidance for spearheading and sustaining a focused and aligned effort to improve the quality of teaching to impact all learners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few issues are as important as education today and Dr. Coleman weds extant research with personal experiences to provide a contextual framework from which the reader can garner a more intense understanding of the issues. She covers such issues as parental involvement, academic achievement, teacher attitude, discipline, student motivation, and the impact of social problems on the education process and student achievement. The discourse evolves around five underlying themes: education is a partnership, perceptions and attitudes dictate our behavior, knowledge creates understanding and understanding creates change; there are different ways of knowing and educators must expand their pedagogy to acknowledge and respond to the varied learning styles of students. Because of the many social problems that impact the lives of students, there is a need to redefine what it means to be a teacher and educate the whole child. The author presents the issues from different perspectives, emphasizing the need for home, school and community to work together to advance the educational agenda for all children. Dr. Coleman offers an action plan for change and sends a clear message that by combining efforts, schools, homes and communities can affect change.

Adolescents develop by leaps and bounds during these years, and often find themselves uncomfortable with who they are and what they’re feeling. Parents, too, don’t know what to expect from the adolescent child who is at one moment hostile and glum, at the next carefree and happy.

Included in this book: • Boy-girl relationships and sexual curiosity • Clubs, hobbies, activities, sports • Trouble at school • Family life and relationships with siblings • Physical development—the awkward adolescent • Summer jobs and independence • Money matters • Personal hygiene • Moodiness, loneliness • Smoking, drinking, drug use “Louise Bates Ames and her colleagues synthesize a lifetime of observation of children, consultation, and discussion with parents. These books will help parents to better understand their children and will guide them through the fascinating and sometimes trying experiences of modern parenthood.”—Donald J.
