Leading and Managing a Differentiated Classroom (Professional Development)

I wish I had read this book during my first year of teaching. It is worth the read! I found a lot of the content to be similar to the ideas of Angela Watson's Cornerstone for Teachers. You are buying a quality book for a good price.Pros:-Quotes are listed in the chapters of what teachers can say to students when handling situations.-Multiple examples/activities and handouts are included in this book.-This is a strong book for classroom management.Notes:The research in this book is a little older, but all concepts in the book are sound, currently relevant, and research-based.Notable Book Topics:-Classroom management-Building a classroom community-How to handle challenging student behavior and difficult parents-How to explain the concepts of fairness/differentiation to both parents and kids-Key quality teacher characteristics are mentioned in the book for a teacher to be successful

About to go into my 5th year of teaching high school English. I want to expand my abilities when it comes to differentiation and this book has already helped me with planning for the coming school year. This book holds a positive can-do tone, which I appreciate greatly.

The quality was great.

Very useful, clear and easy to read

Excellent book to differentiate class instruction!!

This book has a teacher toolkit in the back that justifies the book by itself. The material is very application oriented; only the theory when needed, otherwise it's all about implementation. Highly recommended!

Love the ideas and application to today's classroms.

Being a new teacher this book was great at helping prepare for differentiation, along with how to sell the students and parents on it. There were some great activities to help explain why different students would do different work. The book also included tips on how to set up your classroom, supplies, duties, procedure tips, as well as pitfalls to avoid. I feel like I am ready to establish my procedures, get my materials in place and get everyone "on board" with our new learning style - now I just need the creativity to flow to determine what those different assignments will be (which were not a part of this book). The book encourages us to embrace a little productive noise, share the responsibility of learning with the students, and move away from the quiet, lecture style teaching many of us vision in a classroom.

Für alle hilfreich, die auf Lehramt studieren und etwas mehr über differentierung erfahren möchten. Es ist leicht zu verstehen und es gibt viele gute Beispiele
