Make your lessons interesting, interactive, and engaging Successful lessons are explicit, yet also inspire active learning and opportunities to respond. As the one shaping lessons, can you do better? Probably, and you're not alone. Research shows teachers consistently offer students far fewer than the recommended opportunities to respond, leaving all students--including those with special needs and behavior challenges--less than engaged and falling short of their best chance for success. With this book, you'll discover 14 strategies you can translate directly to your classroom, complete with descriptions, advantages and disadvantages of each, and how and when best to use them. Divided into three parts, you will be guided through <ul style="margin-top: 0in; list-style-type: disc;"> <li>Verbal engagement strategies, such as whip around, choral responding, quick polls, and individual questioning</li> <li>Non-verbal engagement strategies, such as stop and jot, guided notes, response cards, and hand signals</li> <li>Partner and teaming strategies, such as turn & talk, cued retell, four corners, and classroom mingle</li> </ul>

Teacher and Student Behaviors: Keys to Success in Classroom Instruction

This book provides data and uses stories and personal insights gleaned from nearly 6,000 observations in real classrooms across the nation. The mix of data and descriptions provide a clear picture of the rich interaction of teacher and student behaviors – and how one predicts the other. Graphs and tables provide concrete visual representations of the often surprisingly low rates of effective instructional practices used in the average classroom. In addition to a description of how the large dataset was developed, there are descriptions of what it is like to visit multiple classrooms in different schools, what the data tells us about teaching and learning in our public school system, and what the implications are for pre-service teacher training, school professional development, research, and understanding interaction effects.

The book provides very concrete and simplified descriptions of how effective teacher practices were identified, observed, recorded, and analyzed.

Minimize problem behavior and maximize student success! Acting-out behavior by students manifests in ways that make classroom management and teaching very challenging.

Features include: <ul>
<li>Managing each phase of the acting-out cycle―from structuring the classroom, to handling escalated behavior, to recovery </li> <li>Case studies that distill concrete action steps from the book’s concepts </li> <li>Checklists, tools, resources, and templates for applying the book’s principles to any classroom </li> </ul>
