This collection of ideas for lessons provides school librarians with inspiration for meeting the tsunami of new standards dictating change for today's next generation learners. Today's school librarian has less and less time to prepare for instruction. This book delivers lesson plans for the librarian to implement immediately, as is or with a little adaptation. Using the new AASL standards and an Information Literacy scope and sequence carefully crafted for K–6 students, the authors package lessons that are both engaging and challenging. This book inspires librarians to go beyond their usual role in literacy promotion and instruction only and moves to preparing students to be inquiry learners by embracing inquiry-based learning. Lessons include the Essential Question (begin with the end in mind); pre- and post-assessment ideas; technology integration ideas, where applicable; reading and research ideas; and collaboration ideas when applicable. AASL Standards and others are noted via an "integrated standards checklist," while new educational research demonstrates that standards can be met via engaging, collaborative, and interesting lessons, modeled throughout the text.
The Language of Mathematics Education
The Language of Mathematics Education: An Expanded Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts in Mathematics Teaching and Learning offers mathematics teachers, mathematics education professionals and students a valuable resource in which common terms are defined and expounded upon in short essay format. The shared vocabulary and terminology relating to mathematics teaching and learning, and used by mathematics educators is an essential component of work conducted in the field. The authors provide an overview of more than 100 terms commonly used in mathematics teaching and learning. Each term is defined and is followed by a short overview of the concept under discussion that includes several bibliographic references the reader can use for further investigation. In addition to terms specific to the domain of mathematics education, select key terms common across all fields of education (e.g., curriculum, epistemology, metacognition) are included. The goal for this book is to serve as a resource for those entering the field as they navigate the language and terminology of mathematics education and as an asset for more established professionals who wish to gain additional insights into these ideas.
Springboard: KS3 Science Practice Book 3
Provide all the independent practice needed for your Springboard Science course with over 1000 questions in each Practice Book. The three Practice books (one for each year) provide an abundance of questions for independent practice and shed loads of practice (SLOP) for students to consolidate, apply and extend the knowledge that they have learnt. Designed to be used alongside our Knowledge Book and Teacher Handbooks. The Knowledge Book is the concise reference book for students, covering the entire curriculum and focusing on the key facts and concepts that they need to know. The three Teacher Handbooks give the teacher all the guidance and detail they need to deliver great science lessons. Their efficacy is further enhanced when used alongside a Boost subscription, which offers supplementary guidance and materials (including our customised Springboard Science two-year course planner) to enrich your science teaching experience. Improve students' long-term retention. Spacing is built in throughout this Practice Book, improving retention over time. Interleaving of content encourages students to recognise and focus on the connections, similarities and differences across science, enabling them to reflect on their learning in more depth. Build confidence in the key skills. Question sets include coverage of the key mathematical and working scientifically skills that students need to understand, ensuring that this knowledge is embedded throughout their independent practice. Links to the relevant worked examples in the Knowledge Book are highlighted throughout each unit for easy reference. Prepare for the next step. Questions increase in difficulty throughout each topic, enabling students to progress through the KS3 curriculum and prepare for KS4 and beyond. Answers are available online for free, and also embedded into the lesson presentations in our Boost digital teaching and learning resources for easy in-class independent practice review.
