The Conscious Classroom illuminates the power of mindfulness and contextual thinking to transform classroom culture and facilitate deeper learning. Thousands of teens in Philadelphia public high schools are learning to de-stress, think systemically, and develop care for themselves and for others with the Inner Strength System(TM). In a world so cynical about public education, Edelstein's work, which has been empirically validated, shows that education for well-being truly works. "A must read for anyone interested in how to transform education and elevate human behavior " Sam Beard, founder of the Jefferson Awards "This is an inspiring book that looks towards the future with open possibility. Amy Edelstein skillfully shows us the power of mindful awareness in developing clarity and perspective and how these benefits can ripple out far and wide." Diane Reibel, Ph.D., Director, Mindfulness Institute, Thomas Jefferson University "This book is a wellspring of life-giving water in the heart of the contemporary educational desert " Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair " The time and space to meditate might be the core of what high schools need. I left this book with more hope for the world the next generation will create than I have had in a long time." Eric Hoffman, Ph.D. St. Joseph University, former director, American Philosophical Assoc. "A game changer, this book defines the path for how we might collaborate to fulfill the mission of educating conscious citizens." Jonathan Miller-Lane, Ph.D., Director, Program in Education Studies, Middlebury College, VT "The work of Amy Edelstein, in The Conscious Classroom, is so critical. The Inner Strength System equips young people with the tools that breed resilience and emotional self-sufficiency. With these tools, they can stay grounded and rise above the tumult of an uncertain world. Sharmain Matlock-Turner, CEO, Urban Affairs Coalition, Senior Fellow, Fels Institute of Governance. "Amy Edelstein's The Conscious Classroom is a clear and strong voice that empowers teens through mindfulness practices to navigate change, complexity, and culture."

Teaching English language arts at grades K-5 is both a science and an art. Educators must teach literacy skills and content with best practices, while also keeping focus on each student's individual needs. They are challenged to monitor students working independently while also conducting small group instruction. And they must focus on providing differentiated support with a rather complicated text. With increased attention to rigor, requirements, and personalized instruction, it can be a challenge to make sure all students are receiving instruction that is just right. Comprehensive Literacy Basics: An Anthology by Capstone Professional contains useful tips to support educators. Chapters focus on each part of the literacy and language arts block, including whole group, small group, writing, and differentiation. A collection of expert authors specializing in literacy and language arts instruction contributed chapters to the book. The quick tips and suggestions within will reinforce current practices while providing an invaluable go-to reference. FAMIS #902792539

When kids envision a word as if it were a real person, with a unique voice and personality, they forever imprint the meaning of the word into their memories. Vocabulary lessons become anything but dull, and still blend seamlessly into your writing objectives. Veteran teacher-authors Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger offer a powerful formula for getting even the most reluctant kids into the act: Well-chosen words + Collaborative discussion + Genre writing + Performance = Strong vocabulary. Students are first given a choice of vocabulary words, then collaborate with their peers in small-group brainstorming discussions that lead to writing exercises in a variety of genres. Finally they share their work aloud, building community and understanding throughout the classroom.--Publisher's description.
