Moving Learning Forward in Christian Schools by Steven F. Butler Pdf

Are you ready to make changes in your Christian school? Moving Learning Forward in Christian Schools: A Practical Guide for a Mission-Focused Curriculum challenges those involved in Christian schools to consider changes to better prepare students to enter adulthood and impact the world. Readers will gain insights into: •How current brain research about how the brain learns can be put into practice in classrooms. •How Christian schools can be much more mission-focused than they currently are. •An excellent framework to shift Christian schools’ instructional programs from skills and knowledge (textbook-based) curriculum to focusing on understanding and transfer with improved curriculum, instruction, and assessment. •A perfect platform for developing better integration of biblical concepts in all subject areas. •How the six Facets of Understanding from Understanding by Design provide a vehicle to intentionally include the development of personal characteristics that are Bible based and often related to the school’s mission. •A wonderful guideline for helping Christian schools think systemically about changes needed and for developing a three-to-five-year strategic plan for improving the instructional program. This is your opportunity to consider concrete and practical ideas for school improvement!

Better Learning by Ken Goodlet,John Collier,Tony George Pdf

In this book, we want to maintain the interest of that audience of educators who want a no-nonsense, focussed title that picks up on a current issue, learning strategies, but is clearly differentiated from our first book, Teaching Well, so that it will not be dismissed as a new title for an old book.Why 'better' rather than, say, 'best'?My wife's aunt, a Christian who had been involved in 'progressive' education all her life, having applied her principles, for example, to her headship of a Christian school in Canberra, after she died left money in her will for a book she had written she wanted to call 'A better classroom', which has now been published. She wanted her ideas to be seen as a step along the way. I, for one, would be put off by a book that claims more.Why 'trajectories', rather than, say, 'insights'?Apart from the fact that 'trajectories' differentiates this book from Teaching Well, it places emphasis on both the thinking side and the action side, an element that was much appreciated in our first book.Why define who the book is for by using 'educators in Christian schools' in the sub-title?There is much in this book that picks up matters of interest to those who are involved in a range of school systems and those who have an interest in education without being practitioners. Why is so much space given here to character formation?Because, to most of the practising educators writing here, this is more significant than any other feature of their education program. When educators contributing to this book are asked what they most want for their students, most give an answer that relates to character formation. Although one whole Part of the book is dedicated to this, with ground-breaking suggestions for measuring this area so difficult to assess, it permeates the whole book.

Teacher Evaluation and Compensation by T. Broce,S. Jeynes,J. Knight Pdf

For 50 years teacher evaluation has changed very little. How do we know? Nothing has changed for the child! What if the academic administrators’ main focus is serving and leading each teacher on behalf of the child? What if we adopted Jesus’ own manner of intentional conversation? And maximize children’s outcomes. This is a how-to book. Evaluate and compensate always with the child in mind. This is how.

A Scent of Water by Edward Earwood,Phil Suiter Pdf

"A must-read for any educator . . . and . . . an excellent blueprint for the future." -Joe Haas, Ed.D., Executive Director, North Carolina Christian School Association The local Christian school must become the site for transforming the movement into one that focuses upon student learning and a clear delineation of student goals. In A Scent of Water, the authors examine schools as social and cultural systems that must be understood. A Scent of Water describes the type of leadership that must characterize the movement and proposes an active, vibrant, and collaborative role for classroom teachers, working with building principals who see themselves as capacity builders, building strength and knowledge within the teaching staff to bring a scent of water that will revitalize and transform the movement. A Scent of Water is a message of hope for the Christian school movement, a movement that currently lacks vision, struggles with enrollment declines and battles budget limitations. This message derives from scriptural truth and the findings of empirical research and recommends a means for restoring a vision for the ministry.

Collaborative Response by Kurtis Hewson,Lorna Hewson Pdf

A school-wide model for addressing individual needs The greatest goal of education is to ensure equity while enhancing learning and academic success for all students. And yet, it is impossible for one teacher to meet the extensive needs of all students in his or her classroom. The traditional schooling model cannot provide for this complexity and leaves educators perplexed. The solution is a collaborative approach where “every child deserves a team” to surround them with supports that recognize their strengths and challenges. Collaborative Response offers a school-wide model for addressing students’ individual needs. The three fundamental components of the model are: collaborative structures and processes; data and evidence; and continuum of supports. In this book, readers will find: Entry points for beginning this work Potential pitfalls of the approach Case studies from schools that have adopted the model Access to a website with tools, templates, case studies, and more With a focus on quality classroom instruction, this book shares examples from schools and districts that have transformed how they respond to the needs of all learners.

The Handbook of Private Schools by Anonim Pdf

This handbook aims to be a guide to the best private schools of the country. It has been undertaken with the parent especially in mind, but it is hoped that it may be of value to school and college authorities and all others interested in the subject. It is believed that this Handbook is the first volume which attempts a critical and discriminating treatment of the private schools of the country. It is an endeavor to classify the schools on their merits -- at least a step, it is hoped, toward eventual standardization. - Editor's foreword.

Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education by Susan Wise Bauer Pdf

“If you read only one book on educating children, this should be the book.… With a warm, informative voice, Bauer gives you the knowledge that will help you flex the educational model to meet the needs of your child.” —San Francisco Book Review Our K–12 school system isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged. This informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child’s K–12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child’s mind, emotions, and spirit. Understand why we have twelve grades, and why we match them to ages. Evaluate your child’s maturity, and determine how to use that knowledge to your advantage. Find out what subject areas we study in school, why they exist—and how to tinker with them. Discover what learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness are, how they can overlap, how to recognize them, and how those labels can help (or hinder) you. Work effectively with your child’s teachers, tutors, and coaches. Learn to teach important subjects yourself. Challenge accepted ideas about homework and standardized testing. Help your child develop a vision for the future. Reclaim your families’ priorities (including time for eating together, playing, imagining, traveling, and, yes, sleeping!). Plan for college—or apprenticeships. Consider out-of-the-box alternatives.

The Answer to How Is Yes by Peter Block Pdf

Modern culture’s worship of “how-to” pragmatism has turned us into instruments of efficiency and commerce—but we’re doing more and more about things that mean less and less. We constantly ask “how? and still struggle to find purpose and act on what matters. Instead of acting on what we know to be of importance, we wait for bosses to change, we seek the latest fad, we invest in one more degree. Asking how keeps us safe—instead of being led by our hearts into uncharted territory, we keep our heads down and stick to the rules. But we are gaining the world and losing our souls. Peter Block puts the “how-to” craze in perspective and presents a guide to the difficult and life-granting journey of bringing what we know is of personal value into an indifferent or even hostile corporate and cultural landscape. He raises our awareness of the trade-offs we’ve made in the name of practicality and expediency, and offers hope for a way of life in which we’re motivated not by what “works,” but by the things that truly matter in life—idealism, intimacy, depth and engagement.
