Student Learning Communities
Student learning communities (SLCs) are more than just a different way of doing group work. Like the professional learning communities they resemble, SLCs provide students with a structured way to solve problems, share insight, and help one another continually develop new skills and expertise. With the right planning and support, dynamic collaborative learning can thrive everywhere. In this book, educators Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Almarode explain how to create and sustain student learning communities by: (1) Designing group experiences and tasks that encourage dialogue; (2) Fostering the relational conditions that advance academic, social, and emotional development; (3) Providing explicit instruction on goal setting and opportunities to practice progress monitoring; (4) Using thoughtful teaming practices to build cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional regulation skills; (5) Teaching students to seek, give, and receive feedback that amplifies their own and others' learning; and (6) Developing the specific leadership skills and strategies that promote individual and group success. Examples from face-to-face and virtual K-12 classrooms help to illustrate what SLCs are, and teacher voices testify to what they can achieve. No more hoping the group work you're assigning will be good enough--or that collaboration will be its own reward. No more crossing your fingers for productive outcomes or struggling to keep order, assess individual student contributions, and ensure fairness. \"Student Learning Communities\" shows you how to equip your students with what they need to learn in a way that is truly collective, makes them smarter together than they would be alone, creates a more positive classroom culture, and enables continuous academic and social-emotional growth.

The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction
First, let's commend ourselves: how in the midst of a pandemic we faculty stepped up at record speed to teach in such a foreign learning environment. Try we did, adapt we did, and learn we did. But to be clear, and we already recognize this, this past spring was less about distance learning and more about crisis teaching. This time around we have the opportunity to be much more purposeful and intentional, and that's where The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction will prove absolutely indispensable. Much more than a collection of cool tools and apps, The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction mobilizes decades of Visible Learning® research to reveal those evidence-based strategies that work best in an online environment. Supplemented by video footage and opportunities to self-assess and reflect, the book addresses every dynamic that must be in place for students to learn, even at a distance: Faculty-student relationships from a distance Teacher credibility from a distance Teacher clarity from a distance Engaging tasks from a distance Planning learning experiences from a distance Feedback, assessment, and grading from a distance Keeping the focus on learning, from a distance or otherwise What does our post-COVID future hold? \"We suspect,\" Fisher, Frey, Almarode, and Hattie write, \"it will include increased amounts of distance learning. In the meantime, let's seize on what we have learned to improve post-secondary education in any format, whether face-to-face or from a distance.\" \"We are all still active faculty members, committed to teaching, scholarship, and service. The unexpected transition to remote learning doesn't mean we no longer know how to teach. We can still impact the lives of our students and know that we made a difference. The Distance Learning Playbook for College
and University Instruction will show you how.\" ~Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, John Almarode, and John Hattie.

All learning is social and emotional : helping students develop essential skills for the classroom and beyond
While social and emotional learning (SEL) is most familiar as compartmentalized programs separate from academics, the truth is, all learning is social and emotional. What teachers say, the values we express, the materials and activities we choose, and the skills we prioritize all influence how students think, see themselves, and interact with content and with others. If you teach kids rather than standards, and if you want all kids to get what they need to thrive, Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Dominique Smith offer a solution: a comprehensive, five-part model of SEL that's easy to integrate into everyday content instruction, no matter what subject or grade level you teach. You will learn the hows and whys of: (1) Building students' sense of identity and confidence in their ability to learn, overcome challenge, and influence the world around them; (2) Helping students identify, describe, and regulate their emotional responses; (3) Promoting the cognitive regulation skills critical to decision making and problem solving; (4) Fostering students' social skills, including teamwork and sharing, and their ability to establish and repair relationships; and (5) Equipping students to becoming informed and involved citizens. Along with a toolbox of strategies for addressing 33 essential competencies, you will find real-life examples highlighting the many opportunities for social and emotional learning within the K-12 academic curriculum. Children's social and emotional development is too important to be an add-on or an afterthought, too important to be left to chance. Use this book's integrated SEL approach to help your students build essential skills that will serve them in the classroom and throughout their lives.

Your Students, My Students, Our Students
\"Your Students, My Students, Our Students\" explores the hard truths of current special education practice and outlines five essential disruptions to the status quo. Authors Lee Ann Jung, Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and Julie Kroener show you how to: (1) Establish a school culture that champions equity and inclusion; (2) Rethink the long-standing structure of least restrictive environment and the resulting service delivery; (3) Leverage the strengths of all educators to provide appropriate support and challenge; (4) Collaborate on the delivery of instruction and intervention; and (5) Honor the aspirations of each student and plan accordingly. To realize authentic and equitable inclusion, we must relentlessly and collectively pursue change.

Real-life examples of empowerment and success illustrate just what's possible when educators commit to the belief that every student belongs to all of us and all students deserve learning experiences that will equip them to live full and rewarding lives.
