Dramatically Improving High School Mathematics Must Start Now! High school math is failing many students. Out-of-date and stale curricula are not only dull, but perpetuate inequity by limiting opportunities and failing to prepare a majority of students for life in the 21st century. Even traditionalists recognize that the status quo is no longer acceptable. Major shifts in course organization, mathematical content, pedagogy, and assessment are long overdue. Practical Guidance for Meaningful Transformation Invigorating High School Math is a clarion call for meaningful transformation. Throughout the book, Steven Leinwand and Eric Milou address the most critical challenges facing high school mathematics and provide practical guidance for: addressing challenges and excuses that often short-circuit new approaches making the case for the importance of and rationale for changing high school math creating core integrated math courses for grades 9 and 10 and coherent pathways for grades 11 and 12 making critical shifts in pedagogy and classroom practice designing high-quality assessments and using them effectively developing and executing a rational implementation plan A Stimulus for Discussion and a Road Map for Change Many of these ideas will not be broadly popular. It's likely that none of them will be easy to implement. That's no surprise: For nearly a century, the basic structure of high school mathematics has barely changed--not because of its effectiveness, but because the status quo is a powerful force requiring purposeful action to break. This book was written for every high school math educator and leader--as both a stimulus for discussion and a road map for change. "Our hope," say the authors, "is that this book stimulates change, empowers teachers, and guides the profession on this critical journey to invigorate high school mathematics."

"Playful experiences create pathways in the brain that enable us to consider more readily unusual, inventive, creative, resourceful ways of doing the things we need to do. These are also the pathways needed to solve problems that haven't been solved before and to create things that didn't exist before. These benefits combine and work together to feed a mindset that is flexible, creative and courageous. Our survival as humans depends on a complex set of skills, and the variety of human play reflects that complexity. We play with language in order to learn how it works, and doesn't work, as effective communication with our social groups. In play we learn what our bodies can and can't do. Through play we learn how things work in the world around us-how objects feel and fit together, what they do when they're hit, thrown, banged together. This book shows teachers how to use play as an opportunity to learn"--

"Effective technology integration isn't about what you have, it's about how you use it. And how you use it depends on so much more than just curriculum, or just devices, or just pedagogy. It depends on having a purpose-based and student-centered approach to integrating all aspects of technology in learning. Sarah Gilmore and Katierose Deos outline six key elements-purpose, mindset, pedagogy, curriculum, resources and infrastructure, and leadership-that have an influence on the effectiveness of technology integration. Each chapter is clearly organized to focus on these elements in detail, presenting a vision for why they matter, how they connect, and how you can take steps to develop effective technology integration within your practice or your school. Integrating Technology provides practical ideas, advice, and examples that help teachers and administrators plan for, scaffold, and use the technology they have for the benefit of student learning"--

Children Want to Write is a collection of Donald Graves most significant writings paired with video that illuminates his research and his inspiring work with teachers. See the earliest documented use of invented spelling, the earliest attempts to guide young children through a writing process, the earliest conferences. This collection allows you to see this revolutionary shift in writing instruction-with its emphasis on observation, reflection, and approaching children as writers. Heinemann is honored to have been Don's publishing partner for more than three decades and over more than a dozen books-to have watched his research and vision become not only a classroom reality but the core of our publishing philosophy. His influence is so vast that we will meet him again and again on the pages of every book and resource we publish. His spirit pervades each of our books-in the conviction that children want to write and read if given the chance; in the flourishing of the workshop model of instruction that he pioneered; and in his abiding faith in teachers' ability to make sound instructional decisions.

"Spanish-language educators tell me that they too often spend precious time translating English-only material so that it can work with their students.

Study after study shows that as students grow, they become increasingly focused on technology-driven communication. Cyber-dialogue replaces face-to-face interactions in all aspects of their lives. And yet, has there ever been a greater need for students to learn the art of "talk," to be able to converse "live" with others, to collaborate, negotiate, and learn from one another? To use talk to think, and to build new ideas? Maria Nichols guides us beyond teaching students to talk politely about books to teaching them to have meaningful conversations--purposeful talk that serves as a tool for constructing understanding with others. She provides a flexible process that gives teachers a solid foundation in facilitating discussions, allowing them to meet the challenges of unpredictable, exploratory talk in the elementary classroom. She shows teachers: strategies to address different talk personalities and the dynamic nature of talk specific teaching moves to use when facilitating talk how to use a cycle of focus, facilitation, and feedback to deepen students' ability with talk important "look-fors" to assess children's talk with an inquiry mindset. The voices of children engaged in meaningful classroom conversations are scattered throughout the book, allowing teachers to see how Maria's strategies work. "What I hope emerges from children's talk," Maria writes, "is their brilliance, the depth of thinking and understanding that becomes possible when they engage in purposeful talk, and the sheer joy of dialogic classrooms."

While challenging the teacher as hero trope, We Got This shows how authentically listening to kids is the closest thing to a superpower that we have. Cornelius identifies tools, attributes, and strategies that can augment our listening.
