Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement

How do you bring research findings into the classroom and how do you find the time to research the research? In this valuable resource, the authors have examined decades of research findings to distill the results into nine categories of teaching strategies that have positive effects on student learning.

Classroom Instruction That Works

Classroom Strategies That Work

Learn everything you need to know to implement an integrated system of assessment and grading that will enhance your teaching and your students' learning. Dr. Robert J. Marzano details the specific benefits of formative assessment--assessment that is used during instruction rather than at the end of a course or unit. He explains how to design and interpret three different types of formative assessments, how to track student progress, and how to assign meaningful grades, even if a school or district continues to use a traditional grading system. Detailed examples brings each concept to life, and exercises help reinforce the content.

The second book in the Classroom Strategies Series library, this clear, highly practical guide follows the series format, first summarizing key research and then translating it into recommendations for classroom practice.BenefitsThis comprehensive guide:
 * Identifies three types of formative classroom assessments that should be used in a comprehensive system and explains how to design them
 * Explains the difference between "standards-based" and "standards-referenced" systems
 * Explains why it is usually inappropriate to use the 100-point scale in conjunction with formative assessment
 * Describes a systematic approach to the design and use of rubrics Presents four basic approaches to tracking student progress and provides reproducible grade sheets
 * Discusses the use of technology in tracking progress and generating reports
 * Addresses the issue of grades for teachers using formative approaches
 * Includes an appendix that clearly explains the concept of effect size
 * Provides exercises to help readers assess and reinforce their understanding of the new strategies

A Tale of Two Cities 

Norman Cantor

Norman F. Cantor

The Black Death and the World It Made

The Black Death was the fourteenth century's equivalent of a nuclear war. It wiped out one-third of Europe's population, takingmillion lives. And yet, most of what we know about it is wrong. The details of the Plague etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildren -- the hideous black welts, the high fever, and the awful end by respiratory failure -- are more or less accurate. But what the Plague really was and how it made history remain shrouded in a haze of myths.

Now, Norman Cantor, the premier historian of the Middle Ages, draws together the most recent scientific discoveries and groundbreaking historical research to pierce the mist and tell the story of the Black Death as a gripping, intimate narrative.

Heart with Gratitude 

Juliana Buhring

Kristina Jones

Celeste Jones

Kristina, Celeste, and Juliana were all born into the Children of God cult, and from as early as three years old were mistreated and used as sexual beings. They were denied access to formal schooling, forced to wander the streets begging for money, and were mercilessly beaten for "crimes" as harmless as reading an encyclopedia. After being separated from each other and their mothers and forced to live in various missions with multiple foster parents, the sisters eventually managed to escape. In this startling exposé, they have come together to reveal in horrific detail the group that has destroyed the lives of so many. Their intertwining stories reveal a community spread throughout the world whose legacy of anorexia, depression, drug abuse, suicide, and even murder are impossible to erase. Together, the sisters found a strength that finally enabled them to uncover and free themselves from the shadows of their past.

The Riddles of Culture

One of America's leading anthropolgists offers solutions to the perplexing question of why people behave the way they do.

Why do Hindus worship cows? Why do Jews and Moslems refuse to eat pork? Why did so many people in post-medieval Europe believe in witches?

Marvin Harris answers these and other perplexing questions about human behavior, showing that no matter how bizarre a people's behavior may seem, it always stems from identifiable and intelligble sources.
