Assessment & grading
​Assessments provide information about what students know or are able to do, and they help teachers improve learning by uncovering students’ areas of misunderstanding or lack of understanding. To report on assessment data, grading assigns values to the results as a record of students' ability, achievement, or progress.
Culture, diversity, & Inclusion
​In education, discussions about culture and diversity involve recognizing a variety of student needs including those of ethnicity, language, socioeconomic class, disabilities, and gender. In addition, poverty and trauma impose social, cognitive, health-related, and stress-related challenges on students and affect their ability to learn. One such effort is inclusive instruction, an approach in which students with and without disabilities learn together.
Differentiated Learning
​Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching in which educators actively plan for students' differences so that all students can best learn. Teachers divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively teach students who have various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests.
Distance learning & Technology
​Remote or distance learning requires educators to harness and implement the power of technology to transform learning. It embraces an array of technology tools that support and energize multiple forms of learning and teaching—including synchronous/asynchronous, blended, gamification, & more.
instructional design
​& Curriculum Development
Instructional design is the systematic development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of instruction. It is the entire process that analyzes learning needs and goals and develops a delivery system to meet those needs. Curriculum development is the process of developing lessons, assignments, units, and projects to teach students knowledge and skills.
Motivation & Brain-based Learning
Brain-based learning refers to teaching methods, lesson designs, and school programs that are based on scientific research about how the brain learns—how students learn differently as they age, grow, and mature socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
professional Development
​Professional development refers to a wide variety of specialized training, formal education, or advanced professional learning intended to help administrators, teachers, and other educators improve their professional knowledge, competence, skill, and effectiveness.
School Leadership
& Classroom Management
Far more than just setting policies or procedures, school leadership is about relationships—inspiring students and teachers alike and creating the conditions for learning to take place. Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class.
Social & emotional Learning
​Social and emotional learning is the process through which children develop the skills, attitudes, and values necessary to acquire social and emotional competence, including self-awareness, control of impulsivity, working cooperatively, and caring about oneself and others.
Teaching & Learning
​Theory & Practice
Teaching can be defined as engagement with students to enable their understanding and application of knowledge, concepts, and processes of the topics being taught. Learning is the activity or process of gaining knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught, or experiencing something. Learning is about what students do, not about what teachers do.
understanding by Design (UbD)
​Millions of educators around the globe use the Understanding by Design (UbD®) framework, created by Jay McTighe and the late Grant Wiggins, to manage standards, align programs to assessments, and guide teachers in implementing a curriculum that leads to student understanding and achievement.

Upgrade Your Teaching: Understanding by Design Meets Neuroscience

Picture
How can educators leverage neuroscience research about how the human brain learns? How can this information improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment so students achieve deep learning and understanding in all subject areas? Merging insights from neuroscience with Understanding by Design®, the framework used by thousands of educators to craft units of instruction and authentic assessments that emphasize understanding rather than recall, the authors translate research into practical how-to guidance that enables educators at all levels to design and implement units that empower teachers and students to capitalize on the brain's tremendous capacity for learning.

Grading Smarter Not Harder
Assessment Strategies That Motivate Kids and Help Them Learn

by Myron Dueck

Publication date: July 2014

All the talk of closing the achievement gap in schools obscures a more fundamental issue: do the grades we assign to students truly reflect the extent of their learning? In this lively and eye-opening book, educator Myron Dueck reveals how many of the assessment policies that teachers adopt can actually prove detrimental to student motivation and achievement and shows how we can tailor policies to address what really matters: student understanding of content. In sharing lessons, anecdotes, and cautionary tales from his own experiences revamping assessment procedures in the classroom, Dueck offers a variety of practical strategies for ensuring that grades measure what students know without punishing them for factors outside their control, critically examining the fairness and effectiveness of grading homework assignments, designing and distributing unit plans that make assessment criteria crystal-clear to students and creating a flexible and modular retesting system so that students can improve their scores on individual sections of important tests.

Breakthrough Strategies For Schoolwide Literacy Success

Literacy is a skill for all time, for all people. It is an integral part of our lives, whether we are students or adult professionals.

In their own voices, teachers, principals, literacy specialists, and students offer real-life examples of changes that led to dramatic improvement in literacy skills and—perhaps just as important—increased joy in teaching and learning. Scattered throughout the book are “Quick Wins”—ideas and actions that can yield positive, affirming results while tackling the tough work of long-term change.
