Professional Development Idea- Popcorn and a movie
for your faculty study.
Stenhouse Top Publishers for Fall 2005
Choice Words
Choice Words shows how teachers accomplish this using their most
powerful teaching tool: language. Throughout, Peter Johnston
provides examples of apparently ordinary words, phrases, and uses of
language that are pivotal in the orchestration of the classroom.
This book demonstrates how the things we say (and don’t say) have a
surprising consequences for what children learn and for who they
become as literate people. Through language, children learn how to
become strategic thinkers. Johnston also examines the complex
learning that teachers produce in classrooms that is hard to name
and thus in not recognized by tests, policy-makers, general public,
and often by teachers themselves, yet is vitally important.
Morning Meeting
Morning Meeting is a powerful teaching tool for building community,
increasing student investment, and improving academic and social
skills. This comprehensive guidebook has helped thousands of
teachers across the country use Morning Meeting to launch their
school days.
