New Teachers Handbook and Successful Teaching Practices in Action CD Rom (Required)

A prestigious group of educators, including school superintendents and university professors, served as advisors to the classroom teachers who authored this book. The book is a completely revised and updated version of a book that IMPACT II published 10 years ago under the same title.

 

New teachers can be easily overwhelmed by the demands of those first days in the classroom. Many wish they could spend a day with a seasoned veteran, learning from their experience. With the new Successful Teaching Practices in Action series, now they can! Created as a companion piece to Teachers Network’s best-selling publication New Teachers Handbook, this compilation of videos features veteran teachers in action, in their classrooms. The first CD in the series features videos on Classroom Management, Aligning Standards, Curriculum, and Assessment, and Cooperative Groups. New teachers can refine their classroom management style with a successful first-grade teacher, observe the benefits of cooperative learning on a third-grade math project, or explore new methods for aligning their lesson plans with state standards, and watch as students take responsibility for their own achievement!

 

The second CD of the series, More Successful Teaching Practices in Action, features videos on Teaching Methods, Families as Partners, and Strategic Planning. Teachers can expand their repertoire of teaching methods by using differentiated instruction. They can learn how to successfully involve their students' families in classroom activities to advance student achievement. Or they can watch as two second grade teachers demonstrate that when it comes to lesson planning, two heads really are better than one!
