Mindful Listening Instruction in the Elementary Classroom: Authentic Strategies Using Picturebooks by Fortune, Donna Jessie,Barksdale, Mary Alice Pdf

In today's academic environment, one essential skill that is often overlooked is active listening. While educators dedicate substantial time to teaching reading, writing, and speaking, listening skills remain a marginalized aspect of education. This negligence leaves students ill-prepared for the demands of the modern world and results in billions of dollars being spent by companies to train their employees in effective listening. The gap between the need for proficient listeners and the scarcity of resources to nurture this skill is harming or at least significantly delaying the potential of these students. Mindful Listening Instruction in the Elementary Classroom: Authentic Strategies Using Picturebooks is the solution we've all been waiting for. Academic scholars are deeply committed to improving education, and they have recognized the urgency of addressing this pervasive issue. This book offers a transformative solution by advocating for the integration of listening skill instruction into elementary classrooms, using the engaging medium of picture books. This book is a roadmap to a brighter future for our students and society. By addressing the problem of neglected listening skills and offering a compelling solution, this book equips educators, academics, and anyone invested in education with the tools to bridge the gap between the demand for proficient listeners and the current educational landscape's shortcomings.

Using STEM-Focused Teacher Preparation Programs to Reimagine Elementary Education by Cayton, Emily,Sanders, Miriam,Williams, John A. Pdf

There has been an increasing issue in STEM education as many students lack interest and knowledge in STEM disciplines and fields. Given the high demand for STEM workers, and the projected growth of STEM fields, it is important to expose students to STEM education beginning as early as elementary school. Some K-6 programs are not preparing teacher candidates adequately for STEM content or skills, especially in engineering. Integrating these disciplines and practices throughout elementary education programs could result in more exposure for K-6 students. Using STEM-Focused Teacher Preparation Programs to Reimagine Elementary Education presents anecdotal stories of how elementary education programs have altered their content offerings, field experiences, and curricula to expand their teacher candidates’ knowledge and exposure to STEM disciplines and fields. Covering key topics such as diversity, teacher education, and technology integration, this premier reference source is ideal for industry professionals, policymakers, administrators of K-12 education, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Engaging Teachers, Students, and Families in K-6 Writing Instruction by Danielle L. DeFauw Pdf

This text draws on interviews, assignments, field notes, and observations from a flipped writing methodology course conducted with preservice elementary teachers in the US. In doing so, the text powerfully illustrates the benefits of using flipped methodologies in K-6 instruction to engage students, teachers, and families in authentic writing practices. Engaging Teachers, Students, and Families in K-6 Writing Instruction demonstrates the use of flipped writing methodologies to engage preservice teachers in literacy instruction, increase their confidence as writers, and bolster their understanding and application of pedagogical content knowledge. In turn, this underpins teachers’ ability to teach writing as an authentic, purpose-driven, audience-focused process. In particular, chapters explore effective teaching strategies including writing clinics, writing contests, and family literacy sessions which encourage writing development within a community of students, teachers, families, and authors. This text will be an engaging and informative guide for educational researchers, teacher educators, and preservice and inservice teachers looking to develop effective flipped writing pedagogies to support educators, students, and families.
