Rich tasks, collaborative work, number talks, problem-based learning, direct instruction...with so many possible approaches, how do we know which ones work the best? In Visible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it\'s not about which one--it\'s about when--and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year\'s worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school. That\'s a high bar, but with the amazing K-12 framework here, you choose the right approach at the right time, depending upon where learners are within three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. This results in visible learning because the effect is tangible. The framework is forged out of current research in mathematics combined with John Hattie\'s synthesis of more than 15 years of education research involving 300 million students. Chapter by chapter, and equipped with video clips, planning tools, rubrics, and templates, you get the inside track on which instructional strategies to use at each phase of the learning cycle: Surface learning phase: When--through carefully constructed experiences--students explore new concepts and make connections to procedural skills and vocabulary that give shape to developing conceptual understandings. Deep learning phase: When--through the solving of rich high-cognitive tasks and rigorous discussion--students make connections among conceptual ideas, form mathematical generalizations, and apply and practice procedural skills with fluency. Transfer phase: When students can independently think through more complex mathematics, and can plan, investigate, and elaborate as they apply what they know to new mathematical situations. To equip students for higher-level mathematics learning, we have to be clear about where students are, where they need to go, and what it looks like when they get there. Visible Learning for Math brings about powerful, precision teaching for K-12 through intentionally designed guided, collaborative, and independent learning. Rethink the roles, responsibilities, and workflow in your blended learning classroom and enjoy balance in your life.
Blended learning allows a partnership that gives teachers more time and energy to innovate and personalize learning while providing students the opportunity to be active agents driving their own growth. Balance With Blended Learning provides teachers with strategies to actively engage students in setting goals, monitoring development, reflecting on growth, using feedback, assessing work quality, and communicating their progress with parents. It includes Practical strategies for teachers who are overwhelmed by their workloads Vignettes written by teachers across disciplines Ready-to-use templates to help students track their progress Stories from the author\'s experience as a teacher and blended learning coach Teach your students to become decision makers who rely on their own mathematical thinking.Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. Real fluency involves reasoning and creativity, and it varies by the situation at hand.
Figuring Out Fluency in Mathematics Teaching and Learning
offers educators the inspiration to develop a deeper understanding of procedural fluency, along with a plethora of pragmatic tools for shifting classrooms toward a fluency approach. In a friendly and accessible style, this hands-on guide empowers educators to support students in acquiring the repertoire of reasoning strategies necessary to becoming versatile and nimble mathematical thinkers. It includes:Seven Significant Strategies to teach to students as they work toward procedural fluency. Activities, fluency routines, and games that encourage learning the efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy essential to real fluency. Reflection questions, connections to mathematical standards, and techniques for assessing all components of fluency. Suggestions for engaging families in understanding and supporting fluency. Fluency is more than a toolbox of strategies to choose from it\'s also a matter of equity and access for all learners. Give your students the knowledge and power to become confident mathematical thinkers. High School Mathematics Lessons to Explore, Understand, and Respond to Social Injustice

Empower students to
be the change-- join the teaching mathematics for social justice movement!This book explains how to teach mathematics for self- and community-empowerment. It walks teachers step-by-step through the process of using mathematics--across all high school content domains--as a tool to explore issues of social injustice including: environmental injustice wealth inequality food insecurity and gender, LGBTQ, and racial discrimination. This book features- Content cross-referenced by mathematical concept and social issue - Downloadable instructional materials - User-friendly and logical interior design - Guidance for designing and implementing social justice lessons driven by your own students\' unique passions and challenges For more than a year now, we educators have been tested and tested again. We\'ve been stretched, we\'ve been pulled, we\'ve been put through the wringer. But now it\'s time to rebound. It\'s time to bounce back, come back better, and benefit from the many lessons learned to reignite engagement, accelerate learning, and move forward with fresh optimism and better systems for schooling.Enter Doug Fisher, Nancy Frey, Dominique Smith, and John Hattie, whose

Rebound: A Playbook for Rebuilding Agency, Accelerating Learning Recovery, and Rethinking Schools
will help youAddress the collective traumas we have experienced during the pandemic and rebuild our sense of agency and self, so that we can attribute student success to both teachers\' and students\' efforts Evaluate what we have learned about remote teaching and learning to determine what to carry forward and what to leave behind Shift the narrative from learning loss to learning leaps and implement instructional and assessment practices that ensure our students reclaim lost knowledge, build skills, develop agency, and accelerate gains Redefine classrooms, learning experiences, the ways schools operate, and the very idea of schooling itself The greatest travesty that can arise for schools after 2020/21, Doug, Nancy, Dominique, and John write, is to rush back to the old normal, and learn nothing, or little, about what worked well. That\'s why this book has focused on rebounding, and taking the opportunity to create an even better schooling system, one that serves even more students, and focuses more on what matters most. Let\'s agree not to reduce the impact that our expectations have on students\' learning. What if we talk about learning leaps instead of learning loss? What if we identify where students are in their learning and identify critical content that they must learn now to accelerate their performance n the future? And what if we raise our expectations for students rather than lower them? -Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, Dominique Smith, and John Hattie Why is it important to educators?.
