The Heart and Science of Teaching
Blending the latest research in education, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology, this resource will help K–12 teachers create emotionally supportive classroom environments. Sections ground teachers in three interlocking aspects of instruction: The Heart of Teaching: social–emotional learning (SEL); The Science of Teaching: evidence-based instructional practices; and Tools for the 21st-Century: project-based learning and digital technologies. Book Features: Explores the transformative power of SEL on student learning and well-being.Illustrates how teacher feedback can assist students in developing a growth mindset.Brings voices of real teachers in each chapter who share their application of the chapter’s ideas, and their positive results with their students.Lists targeted book, website, and video resources in each chapter with more examples and information to support teachers’ implementation. Examines the implications of current research in neuroscience for classroom teaching. Describes evidence-based models of teaching and how they positively affect student engagement and learning.Shows how to support project-based and other student-led learning while connecting to standards.Describes how to use blogs, podcasts, and an array of web tools to promote engaged learning. “Teachers and teacher educators looking to up their teaching EQ and IQ will love the accessibility, organization, and depth of this timely book.” —Paul M. Rogers, George Mason University “Hansen reminds us of the real aims of education—students who love learning and who have learned throughout their lifetime, guided by teachers who care for their emotional and cognitive well-being.” —Kathleen Puckett, Arizona State University
Enhancing the Art & Science of Teaching With Technology
Successfully leverage technology to enhance classroom practices with this practical resource. The authors demonstrate the importance of educational technology, which is quickly becoming an essential component in effective teaching. Included are over 100 organized classroom strategies, vignettes that show each section’s strategies in action, and a glossary of classroom-relevant technology terms. Key research is summarized and translated into classroom recommendations.
Action Science
Put student engagement on the fast-track Think action sports like skateboarding and BMX have nothing to do with physical science? Think again, especially as they relate to fundamental physics concepts like motion, force, and simple machines—not to mention the problem solving required. What’s more, because kids will want to, observing action sports is a perfect vehicle for promoting self-directed and collaborative learning . . . with Action Science as your driver’s manual. Through a combination of book and video, Bill Robertson provides all the materials you’ll need to get started, with the NGSS very much in full view. Inside and outside, you’ll find: Detailed instructional methods on momentum, center of gravity, inertia, and centrifugal and centripetal forces Hands-on classroom activities and experiments, including some utilizing common household materials Captivating video via QR codes of top professional and amateur extreme sports athletes demonstrating authentic, high-flying maneuvers Robertson, an associate professor in science and technology education at the University of Texas at El Paso--and an avid skateboarder—has extensively piloted the Action Science program. It works! "This is an outstanding resource for any middle school science teacher trying to engage unmotivated students or implement problem-based learning strategies in a way that is exciting and meaningful!" --Melissa Miller, Middle School Science Teacher Lynch Middle School Farmington, AR
