Guilford Publications Handbook of Research on Literacy and Diversity
Book SynopsisThis is the first research handbook to address all dimensions of diversity that have an impact on literacy achievement. Leading experts examine how teaching and learning intersect with cultural and language differences and socioeconomic disparities in today's increasingly diverse schools and communities. The volume weaves compelling research findings together with theory, policy considerations, and discussions of exemplary instructional practices. It offers fresh perspectives on such topics as family literacy, multiliteracies, drawing on cultural resources in the classroom, factors that promote success in high-poverty schools, equity issues, and ways to teach specific literacy skills. The concluding section provides crucial recommendations for teacher preparation and professional development.Trade ReviewPowerful. The editors have brought together brilliant researchers who make a tremendous contribution to building knowledge about instruction that capitalizes on students' social and cultural contexts. Perhaps most important, they point the way toward taking action that is evidence based and holds potential for making a difference in the literacy lives of our students.--Victoria J. Risko, EdD, Department of Teaching and Learning, Vanderbilt University A much-needed resource, this handbook addresses both the promises and challenges of working with the richly diverse students attending schools today. Respected scholars provide thorough overviews of existing research and theory, highlight what is still to be learned, and offer recommendations for educational policy and practice. Readers will find the focus on English language learners, minority students, and other marginalized groups particularly useful. This volume should be added to the reference shelves of all literacy researchers, and can offer a strong grounding for graduate coursework.--Kristen H. Perry, PhD, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Kentucky This comprehensive volume challenges the deficit model of diversity and argues for a resource orientation toward difference that is essential to effective teaching for minority children. The book covers a wide range of critical concerns related to literacy and diversity, including policy issues, theoretical developments, instructional strategies, assessment, multiple literacies, social attitudes, and formal and informal learning. Addressing the complexities of the topic in a way that is invaluable, this is an important resource for teacher educators, graduate students, and university researchers, as well as inservice teachers.--Guofang Li, PhD, Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University - Recommended. Graduate, research, and professional collections. --Choice, 12/3/2009ƒƒA welcome addition to the conversations that dominate contemporary literacy research and graduate studies....The extremely high quality of the contributions, the structure of each chapter, and the issues addressed make this book a 'must have' for literacy researchers and university professors. It is one I will use in my own graduate teaching and from which I will recommend specific chapters to teacher professional learning communities.--Educational Review, 11/24/2011Table of ContentsForeword: Every Child Must Be Visible If We Are to Succeed as a World-Class Nation, Edmund W.

Prufrock Press HOPE Teacher Rating Scale Forms: Involving
Book SynopsisThe HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is designed to help guide teachers in identifying gifted students for programming. It is unique in several ways. First, it is short, with only 11 items that measure academic and social/affective components of giftedness, making it easy to use. Second, it is invariant when used to identify students from low-income and culturally diverse families. Third, it can be used across grade levels, K-12. Finally, local norms ensure that the data are relevant to the specific school populations. With multiple measures and multiple pathways crucial for reversing the inequities in identifying culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse students, a teacher-nomination instrument like the HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is an important component of identification systems. The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale items have been well-developed and subjected to research using more than 12,000 diverse students in five validity studies to date. This instrument is a must-have for any administrator or gifted-program coordinator involved in student identification.To explore the full collection of HOPE print and online resources, please visit: https://www.routledge.com/go/hope-teacher-rating-scales.

Prufrock Press UTAGS Forms: Set of 50
Book SynopsisThis is a set of 50 forms for use with the Universal Talented and Gifted Screener (UTAGS). Universal Talented and Gifted Screener (UTAGS) features up-to-date national norms, is effective with twice-exceptional learners, includes bias-free items, and provides a fair assessment regardless of student demographic characteristics. The UTAGS offers schools a time-saving screener for identifying gifted and advanced learners. Designed to be culturally and linguistically fair, the UTAGS is ideal for schools seeking a nationally normed, statistically sound identification screener. Additionally, the UTAGS includes specific considerations for identifying twice-exceptional learners. UTAGS is designed to screen potentially gifted students in six important areas of school success: cognition, creativity, leadership, literacy, math, and science. This theoretically sound instrument provides easily interpretable scores in the IQ metric (i.e., Mean = 100; SD = 15) and identifies student strengths/weaknesses in a quick, accurate, and cost-efficient format. UTAGS provides interpretation norms based on a standardization sample of 2,492 participants from 22 states; student demographics closely reflect the United States population. The authors also provide a guide for local norming. Assessment fairness was a strong consideration during the UTAGS development, and teacher raters are requested to focus on effective examinee communication strategies rather than addressing the particular language/communication mode employed by the student. Consequently, examinees from other cultures, those who have speech limitations, or those who use nonstandard English are not unfairly penalized. Ages 5 years 0 months-17 years 11 months

New Harbinger Publications Mindfulness in the Classroom: An Evidence-Based
Book SynopsisAs a teacher, you know that some kids need extra help staying focused in the classroom. You've probably also lost countless hours of precious learning time in class due to student disruption. Whether kids are suffering from stress, a behaviour disorder, or emotional issues-the good news is that there are real tools you can use to help children manage their feelings, stay on task, and reach their full potential. This book will show you how.In Mindfulness in the Classroom, two experts in the field of mindfulness research, child psychology, and school psychology offer a mindfulness-based intervention to help support a healthy learning environment. Based on the authors' Soles of the Feet program, this book provides an evidence-based strategy to help you put a stop to disruptive behaviour in the classroom, and help kids be their very best.Without early intervention for disruptive behaviours, many students will maintain these behaviors as adults. The Soles of the Feet program not only decreases disruptive behaviour and increases teaching time, it also improves the long-term outcome for children experiencing behaviour challenges-so they can thrive well into adulthood.
