Professional Training Books

I have had the opportunity, over the last two years, to use Sandy's training manual to facilitate groups for women who have lived with violence, either as children or in an intimate relationship. These women have been told that the aggressive rage directed towards then is anger, so they are often very afraid that if they express anger it will look and sound like what they lived with. The information in the training manual encourgages women to explore the real feeling of anger, and practise assertive skills that allow them to express their needs and wants.

Jodi Peine's THE EDUCATOR'S PROFESSIONAL GROWTH PLAN: A PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING STAFF AND IMPROVING INSTRUCTION, 2ND EDITION provides teachers with methods for building professional collaborations to benefit students. Administrators and staff developers receive step-by-step instruction of designing such a growth plan.

Assistant Professor Adrian Rodgers and Associate Professor Emily M. Rodgers present The Effective Literacy Coach: Using Inquiry To Support Teaching and Learning, a guide that goes a step beyond the nuts and bolts of day-to-day coaching in the search to understand how literacy coaching can breathe renewed life into instructional practice. Offering research-based strategies to improve the teacher-coach connection, The Effective Literacy Coach discusses how to guide group discussions, the art of asking the right question, how to get the most out of one-on-one coaching, and much more. Enthusiastically recommended for remedial reading teachers, whether they work with children, teens, or adults.

Barbara Levin's Energizing Teacher Education And Professional Development With Problem-Based Learning offers an instructional method that encourages learners to use critical thinking and problem solving as they apply content knowledge to real-world problems and issues. The contributors provide field-tested examples of how teacher educators have used "problem based learning" in professional development settings including university based teacher preparation courses, work with experienced teachers in staff development and in-service settings; and addressing frequently asked questions about using this approach with classroom educators. Energizing Teacher Education And Professional Development With Problem-Based Learning is an important and welcome addition to teacher education studies reference collections and reading lists.

Great solution manual. Fixed many errors from version 7.

I purchased this as a gift and the recipient seemed to love it! He has all of the Maxwell books!

Great perspective on what effective school leaders should be, why they should be that way, and how to become it.

I recently checked this book out from the library. I liked it so much I want to buy it. It is very helpful for those of us teachers in districts that stress posted objectives, Critical Thinking questions/models, and so much more. The author is to the point, gives examples, and was very helpful for the 1st year teacher. It's a small book...and easy to read.

The Field Guide to Teaching is a must-have for all teachers. Most other books I read try to focus on the academic aspect of education and teaching. Marchesani takes a practitioner-based approach to teaching, which incorporates the real-life experiences that teachers new and old will face. This book also serves a great supplement to veteran teachers who want to refresh themselves on the basics of the American education system. The CD also provides ample curriculum templates and ideas that can benefit all teachers. I highly recommend that anyone interested in education should definitely use this as one of their prime resources.
