Basic Guide to Understanding, Assessing, and Teaching Phonological Awareness
This manual was written to help teachers incorporate assessment and instruction
of phonological awareness into their prereading and reading curricula. The
most important strength of the book is that it not only provides a concise
discussion of the nature of phonological awareness and its role in reading
development, but also comprehensively describes and evaluates specific tests
and instructional programs that focus on phonological awareness.
The book provides the information teachers and administrators need to select
appropriate assessment procedures to use with both younger and older children.
It also provides detailed descriptions and evaluations of currently available
instructional programs that can be used in either whole-class or small-group/individualized
instruction to stimulate phonological awareness. Because the book contains
both broad discussions of issues related to assessment and instruction in
phonological awareness as well as detailed descriptions of specific assessment
instruments and instructional programs, it should be helpful in any educational
setting in which the goal is to improve growth in phonological awareness as
in aid in learning to read.

Conflict in the Classroom - Sixth Edition
Nicholas J. Long, William C. Morse, Frank A. Fecser, Ruth G. Newman
Gone are the
days when educating at-risk and troubled students are solely the responsibility
of the Special Educator in a designated classroom. Presently, conflict exists
in every classroom and each student’s adversity comes in varying degrees
— depression, defiance, violence, poverty, abuse, neglect, etc. For
the staff member involved, theories from a textbook rarely provide the assistance
and support their students need in effectively coping with the daily trials
and tribulations.
The sixth edition of Conflict in the Classroom provides this much-needed reality-based
support. It’s filled with practical strategies and advice from teachers,
authors, and colleagues who have first-hand real life experience with the
troubled student. Each meaningful chapter is woven together by the humanistic
beliefs of psychoeducation, a concern for both the inner life and external
behavior. It’s a fusion of current and effective educational and mental
health practices.

Cooperative
Teaching: Rebuilding the Schoolhouse for all Students - Second Edition
Jeanne Bauwens & Jack J. Haurcade
Schools in the 21st century will be quite different from
their predecessors. Perhaps the most fundamental difference is that contemporary
educators will work collaboratively to effectively serve diverse students
in inclusive settings. The responsibility for the education of all students
will be increasingly shared between two or more teachers.
While collaboration in the schools takes many forms, the "cooperative teaching" model has emerged as a particularly successful approach. In cooperative teaching, two or more educators with complementary sets of professional skills teach together in the classroom.
The second edition of Cooperative Teaching explains in a simple, practical and straightforward manner how elementary and secondary teachers can work together to better serve all the students in their classrooms. It is based on hundreds of workshops on cooperative teaching presented by the authors and provides a wealth of field-tested suggestions and activities. Each chapter from the previous edition has been substantially revised and updated to incorporate new and emerging information and skills. In addition, a special chapter has been added outlining the exciting possibilities of electronic collaboration.
