Your game plan for getting boys on the path to higher achievement You′ve seen it in your school: boys struggling to master basic literacy skills, sitting outside the principal′s office, collecting labels like "hyperactive," getting failing grades. Checked out, kicked out, or dropped out, they′re benched when they should be scoring goals on the academic playing field. As a school leader, Kelley King has walked the talk: she successfully led her own staff to close the gender gap in reading and writing in just one year. In her step-by-step, research-based leadership plan for jump-starting boys′ achievement, she shares: Critical insight into the brain-based differences between boys and girls First-hand leadership and classroom experiences Ready-to-use activities and resources for leading a successful gap-closing initiative With tips, anecdotes, and more, Writing the Playbook provides educators in all roles with a blueprint for creating schools where boys (and girls!) thrive. "Finally, some practical advice from an experienced educator on how to make boys into successful students. King′s credentials—mother of both a son and daughter as well as a principal who successfully addressed gender gaps at her school—are unbeatable." —Richard Whitmire, Author of Why Boys Fail: Saving Our Sons from an Educational System That′s Leaving Them Behind "Kelley King is both impassioned and level-headed, and she starts a conversation that we desperately need to have in our country." —Michael Kimmel, Author of Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men SUNY Distinguished Professor of Sociology "This is a highly practical and highly relevant book. Two thumbs up!" —Eric Jensen, Author of Teaching with the Brain in Mind

Joe Moses and Jason Tham Collaborative Writing Playbook: An Instructor's Guide to Designing Writing Projects for Student Teams supports writing across the curriculum by helping instructors overcome a key obstacle to assigning writing: the workload. The Playbook is for instructors who would assign more writing in their courses if they could create meaningful assignments that complement course goals. The Playbook is for instructors who would assign collaborative writing if they could account for individual contributions to collaboratively written content and use assessment criteria consistent with course learning objectives. Instructors can overcome the workload obstacles by identifying five learning objectives that writing and course content have in common: discipline-specific objectives for critical thinking, research, synthesis, genre/structure, and editing/peer review. By aligning writing objectives with course learning objectives, instructors can design writing projects, tasks, and peer review roles that support rather than distract from course content. Including collaborative writing throughout a course makes meaningful collaboration much easier to achieve than making collaboration a temporary activity, which can disrupt everyone's productivity. Joe Moses and Jason Tham present ideas for small and large activities that help instructors introduce collaboration at a pace that makes sense for them and sustains meaningful learning throughout a course. COLLABORATIVE WRITING PLAYBOOK has several unique features: Practical tools for planning and promoting productive teamwork. Roles for collaborative writing teammates that complement course-specific learning objectives. Structured activities designed specifically to support teammate interdependence and accountability. Templates for team charters, team planning, goal setting, and task coordination. A versatile, five-part structure-defined by instructors according to their preferences-for designing and evaluating team projects. What People Are Saying "Collaboration is a professional imperative. This Collaborative Writing Playbook provides an authentic, reliable roadmap for team writing built on design thinking. You'll be pleased to deploy it for team writing and all forms of collaboration." - Ann Hill Duin, University of Minnesota "Collaborative Writing Playbook revitalizes team-based writing instruction with a strong emphasis on modern career readiness. 'No team is automatically productive, ' write authors Joe Moses and Jason Tham, who roll up their sleeves to rally instructors navigating the difficult world of designing collaborative assignments with a bold but agile five-part structure. The book deftly serves as both a complete model and one that is easily customizable to a range of classroom scenarios. Highly practical and resourceful, Playbook specifies a set of adaptable templates for activities, checklists and guides to prompt instructors. Playbook is a must-have!" - Isabel Pedersen, Ontario Tech University "Collaborative Writing Playbook is a substantial, thoughtful, and insightful contribution to the discourse on collaborative writing. It is simultaneously a playbook, an instructor's guide, a textbook, a work of theory, even a guide for lesson planning and project design." - Jacob Richter, Clemson University Joe Moses teaches collaborative writing, research, and project design in the Department of Writing Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Jason Tham (PhD, University of Minnesota) is Assistant Professor of Technical Communication and Rhetoric at Texas Tech University.

He shows you how to codify your culture and create a living document that allows you to let go of day-to-day responsibilities and empower your team to run the business without you. If you want to build a company that doesn't rely on you putting in more hours, this book will show you the way.

A New York Times bestseller, The Silver Linings Playbook was adapted into the Oscar-winning movie starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. It tells the riotous and poignant story of how one man regains his memory and comes to terms with the magnitude of his wife's betrayal. During the years he spends in a neural health facility, Pat Peoples formulates a theory about silver linings: he believes his life is a movie produced by God, his mission is to become physically fit and emotionally supportive, and his happy ending will be the return of his estranged wife, Nikki. When Pat goes to live with his parents, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends are saddled with families; the Philadelphia Eagles keep losing, making his father moody; and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy. When Pat meets the tragically widowed and clinically depressed Tiffany, she offers to act as a liaison between him and his wife, if only he will give up watching football, agree to perform in this year's Dance Away Depression competition, and promise not to tell anyone about their "contract." All the while, Pat keeps searching for his silver lining. In this brilliantly written debut novel, Matthew Quick takes us inside Pat's mind, deftly showing us the world from his distorted yet endearing perspective. The result is a touching and funny story that helps us look at both depression and love in a wonderfully refreshing way.

Solo by Kwame Alexander and Mary Rand Hess is a New York Times bestseller! Kirkus Reviews said Solo is, “A contemporary hero’s journey, brilliantly told.” Through the story of a young Black man searching for answers about his life, Solo empowers, engages, and encourages teenagers to move from heartache to healing, burden to blessings, depression to deliverance, and trials to triumphs. Blade never asked for a life of the rich and famous. In fact, he’d give anything not to be the son of Rutherford Morrison, a washed-up rock star and drug addict with delusions of a comeback. Or to no longer be part of a family known most for lost potential, failure, and tragedy, including the loss of his mother. The one true light is his girlfriend, Chapel, but her parents have forbidden their relationship, assuming Blade will become just like his father. In reality, the only thing Blade and Rutherford have in common is the music that lives inside them. And songwriting is all Blade has left after Rutherford, while drunk, crashes his high school graduation speech and effectively rips Chapel away forever. But when a long-held family secret comes to light, the music disappears. In its place is a letter, one that could bring Blade the freedom and love he’s been searching for, or leave him feeling even more adrift. Solo: Is written by New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Book Award-winner Kwame Alexander Showcases Kwame’s signature intricacy, intimacy, and poetic style, by exploring what it means to finally go home An #OwnVoices novel that features a BIPOC protagonist on a search for his roots and identity Received great reviews from Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Booklist, and Kirkus.
