Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Learning experiences are like journeys. The journey starts where the learner is now, and ends when the learner is successful, however that is defined. The end of the journey isn't just about knowing more, but also doing more. #2 There are gaps between your learner's current situation and where they need to be in order to be successful. These gaps are between what they know and what they need to know. You can help them bridge these gaps by designing better learning experiences. #3 The gap between what your learners have and what they need is information. You want your learners to have the right supplies for their journey, but you also want them to know what to do with that information. #4 The only way to prepare for a major hike is to hike regularly, and even a less ambitious goal would require practice and conditioning. Learners in all disciplines are frequently in this situation. They receive the knowledge in a book or class, but don't get the opportunity to practice and develop skills.

How can teachers facilitate meaningful classroom conversations in which students engage in shared inquiry, building on what others have written or said (even to disagree)? Such discussions can have many benefits: students can learn from each other, can bring their out-of-school ways of talking into classroom dialog, can make evidence-based, collaborative arguments, and can begin to communicate like historians, scientists, or other members of disciplinary communities. Yet classroom discussions often fail, teaching students implicitly that they have little to learn from school or each other, that their home-language practices are not welcome, that the loudest voice wins the argument, and that academic discourse is as mystifying and alien as the views of anyone who disagrees with them. Outside the classroom, dialog has never been more important. From climate-change summits or peace talks among neighboring nations, to clashes between rival ethnic groups or political-party mudslinging, to workplace conversations or a traffic stop on a dark street, we must learn to bring our own and others'words into relationship with integrity or suffer the consequences. This book offers concepts, concrete classroom examples, and activities for teachers and students to transform classroom conversations into successful discussions across disciplines, grade levels, and digital platforms.

Packed with practical strategies you can use to create a culture of self-motivation in your school!Teachers use traditional incentive and reward systems with the best of intentions. We're trying to support students'positive behavior and learning. We're hoping to motivate and inspire students to work hard and do well in school. If everyone behaves, we'll have a pizza party. The more books you read, the more stickers you'll receive. On the surface, these systems seem to make sense. They may even seem to work. But in the long term, they do not foster intrinsic motivation or a love or learning. In fact, they often have the opposite effect.In Tackling the Motivation Crisis: How to Activate Student Learning Without Behavior Charts, Pizza Parties, or Other Hard-to-Quit Incentive Systems, award-winning educator and best-selling author Mike Anderson explains• The damage done by extrinsic motivation systems and why they are so hard for us to give up.• What intrinsic motivation looks like and the six high-impact motivators—autonomy, belonging, competence, purpose, fun, and curiosity—that foster it.• How to teach the self-management and self-motivation skills that can make a difference for kids.• How to use intrinsic motivation in curricula and instructional strategies, feedback and assessment, and discipline and classroom management.Ultimately, our job as teachers is not to motivate our students. It's to make sure that our classrooms and schools are places that inspire their intrinsic motivation and allow it to flourish. Anderson shows how you can better do that right away—no matter what grade level or subject area you teach.

Written by Dave Whitaker, The Kindness Principle: Making relational behaviour management work in schools advocates a behaviour management approach rooted in values, acceptance and a genuine understanding of children's behaviour. In an education system that too often reaches for the carrot-and-stick approach to dealing with poor pupil behaviour, an approach built on kindness and compassion might just provide the cure. The Kindness Principle begins with the idea that relationships should be at the heart of behaviour management and culture, and sets out the ways in which the adoption of relational approaches can help create safer and happier schools. Schools where all staff and learners are valued and understood, where expectations and standards are high, and where kindness and acceptance matter. Dave Whitaker explores why it is so important to understand children - offering techniques and advice on how to work effectively with all children (even the most challenging and troubled ones) without resorting to zero-tolerance, no-excuses and consequence-driven practices. Dave also shares a wealth of real-life experiences from some of the most challenging schools in the country, along with research-informed insights that will help teachers understand children's behaviour in a new light. To this end he provides a wealth of guidance to help develop effective practice and learn from people who have actually walked the walk and don't just talk the talk. Furthermore, the topics covered in the book include: restorative approaches, unconditional positive regard, building personal resilience, structures and routines, and the ins and outs of rewards and sanctions. Suitable for teachers, school leaders and anyone working with children.

Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur nous offre une réflexion critique et constructive sur l'école, qu'il fonde sur sa propre expérience en tant que professeur.« Le temps est venu de mettre un terme à cette vieille légende – vestige d'un ancien monde, qui nous fait croire depuis trop longtemps déjà, que l'école est un lieu d'enfermement où les élèves doivent apprendre en écoutant, assis, immobiles et silencieux, les leçons d'un maître, unique détenteur du savoir. »Et si une autre méthode d'enseignement, celle de « l'enseignement mutuel », célèbre au XIXe siècle et presque totalement oubliée depuis, s'avérait d'une étonnante modernité au point de pouvoir participer à la métamorphose de l'École? En adaptant cette méthode dans son lycée, au travers de son expérience de la « classe mutuelle », Vincent Faillet revisite la forme scolaire et montre que l'on peut enseigner autrement avec une vision différente de l'École. Une École qui n'oublie pas de considérer le rôle des pairs, le plaisir d'apprendre et le corps de l'élève dans la salle de classe. Découvrez un essai sur l'histoire de la'classe mutuelle'et sur l'étonnante modernité de cet enseignement en vogue au XIXe siècle. Deuxième édition revue et augmentée. À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURProfesseur agrégé en lycée, Vincent Faillet est aussi doctorant en sciences de l'éducation à l'Université de Paris. Il développe sa conception de la forme scolaire sur son site internet, www.vincentfaillet.fr, qui héberge notamment un forum dédié à la « classe mutuelle » pour faciliter les échanges de pratiques entre enseignants.

Teaching is a wonderful profession, but it is one that requires huge amounts of physical, mental and psychological reserves. Inner resilience is a vital part of this, and the dialogue about how to develop it has been missing in conversations about teacher wellbeing. Resilience is ultimately the difference between being overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, to finding calm, purpose and joy in the work we do with young people. Teacher Resilience explores how we can build a more resilient mindset, and what practical actions we can take to be the best version of ourselves in the classroom. From self-talk to collaboration, conflict management to lesson planning and differentiation, no trigger of potential teacher stress and anxiety is left unexplored. With practical tools to implement immediately, this is the book that all teachers need to thrive in a demanding profession.
