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.
