The EduProtocol Field Guide Book 2


Book Description

Your Guidebook to Creating Lessons That Engage and Inspire Learners In the first book in the EduProtocols Series, Marlena Hebern and Jon Corippo introduced flexible lesson frames to equip teachers to break free from the lesson-and-worksheet cycle. In The EduProtocol Field Guide: Book 2, the authors are back with twelve new lesson frames for even more engagement. Along with their personal experiences with the protocols, Hebern and Corippo share the wisdom and insights of other educators who are using and adapting these powerful tools for their learners. What's New? In addition to including twelve new EduProtocols and nine teacher-reimagined iterations on lesson frames from the first book, The EduProtocol Field Guide: Book 2 takes a deeper dive into the research-supported learning theories behind the protocols. The authors also demonstrate how EduProtocols support a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) environment. You'll also find tips throughout the book for edtech integration and for adapting lessons for English Language Learners. The EduProtocol Field Guide series is your manual for designing personalized learning opportunities in less time. "What teacher doesn't want to save time and teach better?

McCormick, superintendent, Val Verde USD "Marlena and Jon have done an amazing job compiling protocols that help teachers remove learning barriers and differentiate for all learners." --Meghan Cannon-Johann, teacher "These guides are definitely a must-have for teachers who want to burn their bloated teacher guides, want their lives back from hours of meaningless grading, and realize the need to move beyond unfocused classroom technology convenience tools." --Derrall Garrison, instructional coach




Recursively Enumerable Sets and Degrees


Book Description

..."The book, written by one of the main researchers on the field, gives a complete account of the theory of r.e. degrees. .... The definitions, results and proofs are always clearly motivated and explained before the formal presentation; the proofs are described with remarkable clarity and conciseness. The book is highly recommended to everyone interested in logic. It also provides a useful background to computer scientists, in particular to theoretical computer scientists." Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Ungarn 1988 ..."The main purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the main results and to the intricacies of the current theory for the recurseively enumerable sets and degrees. The author has managed to give a coherent exposition of a rather complex and messy area of logic, and with this book degree-theory is far more accessible to students and logicians in other fields than it used to be." Zentralblatt für Mathematik, 623.1988




Everyday Life Science Mysteries


Book Description

How do tiny bugs get into oatmeal? What makes children look like-- or different from-- their parents? Where do rotten apples go after they fall off the tree? By presenting everyday mysteries like these, this book will motivate your students to carry out hands-on science investigations and actually care about the results. These 20 open-ended mysteries focus exclusively on biological science, including botany, human physiology, zoology, and health. The stories come with lists of science concepts to explore, grade-appropriate strategies for using them, and explanations of how the lessons align with national standards. They also relieve you of the tiring work of designing inquiry lessons from scratch. " What makes this book so special is the unique way science is integrated into the story line, using characters and situations children can easily identify with." -- Page Keeley, author of the NSTA Press series Uncovering Student Ideas in Science

Ditch That Textbook


Book Description

Textbooks are symbols of centuries-old education. They're often outdated as soon as they hit students' desks. Acting "by the textbook" implies compliance and a lack of creativity. It's time to ditch those textbooks--and those textbook assumptions about learning In Ditch That Textbook, teacher and blogger Matt Miller encourages educators to throw out meaningless, pedestrian teaching and learning practices. He empowers them to evolve and improve on old, standard, teaching methods. Ditch That Textbook is a support system, toolbox, and manifesto to help educators free their teaching and revolutionize their classrooms.




Spreadsheets for Librarians


Book Description

Work smarter and save time with the librarian's guide to the hidden-in-plain-sight secrets of Excel, Sheets, and other types of spreadsheets. While some librarians have become very skilled at using the full power of Excel and Sheets to turn data into useful and valuable information, for many librarians the relevance of spreadsheets—and how to use them—is not necessarily obvious. This book demystifies Excel and other spreadsheets. Starting from basic concepts, the book progresses to advanced implementations important to librarians in such areas as collection management, including evaluation and benchmarking; research assessment through the creation of sophisticated bibliometric measures; and library design based on an analysis of patron behavior or the creation of a keyword map of physical collections. Real-life examples highlight a variety of techniques and shortcuts that can be immediately applied to libraries of all kinds. Spreadsheets for Librarians is a book for the desk, not only the library shelves. No prior knowledge of spreadsheets is needed, and readers can expect to learn skills that will enhance their reputation as information and data professionals.

Saber-tooth Curriculum


Book Description

"A classic of educational criticism proves its relevance in light of today's educational quandaries First published by McGraw-Hill in 1939, The Saber-Tooth Curriculum was a groundbreaking satire of the educational establishment, and its unwillingness to adapt to changing times. Throughout the decades, this witty work has not only become an educational classic, but has also remained as relevant and applicable to the key questions in education today as it was when first published. With tongue firmly in cheek, Peddiwell takes on the conflicting philosophies of education, from its imagined origins at the dawn of time to its culmination in a ritualistic, deeply entrenched social institution with rigidly prescribed norms and procedures. Developed within a fanciful framework of fictional lectures, given by fictional author Professor J. Abner Peddiwell, doyen in the History of Education at Petaluma State College, this humorous fable illustrates the progress of education and gives valuable insights into how it could continue to develop in the decades to come."--desc. of new 2004 ed., via amazon.ca.
