Synopsis

Students don’t come into a classroom knowing how to engage in a community of learners and take charge of their own learning. Many start the school year with assumptions that are counterproductive, based on past experiences. This book shows how to teach kids the skills, language, and attitudes they need to be successful, engaged learners. • Part one shows how to create and sustain a classroom community where kids feel supported, where they care about and support others, and where they know the benefits of procedures that allow the classroom to run smoothly, saving time for the important business of learning. • Part two looks at instruction—research-based practices that actively engage students and dramatically increase their opportunities to learn. • Part three focuses on formative assessments—ongoing checks for understanding that inform instruction, show students where they are on the continuum of understanding, and celebrate successes large and small, along the way. STAND UP! is a must-have resource for practicing teachers. You will return to this book again and again for new insights and practical solutions to classroom challenges.
