Few skills are as critical or as rare today as the ability to hear and comprehend what other people are saying. The authors of�Hands Down, Speak Out�argue that we need new tools to teach the art of listening and they\'ve put forward a simple yet transformative model for encouraging student conversations that are inclusive, empowering, and rich in content. This classroom guide for grades K-5 is particularly needed in the aftermath of two disrupted school years.��TEACHING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS ACROSS SUBJECTS:�Hands Down, Speak Out�is a practical guide for teaching listening and talking skills that span both literacy and math instruction�K-5 CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT FOCUSED ON DIALOGUE: Too often, the practice of hand-raising favors the performance of answers by a few students over the construction of meaning involving the whole class.

This book brings together new scholarship that expands and refines the concept of self-authorship across cultures. It adopts a constructive-developmental approach to self-evolution that emphasizes the interaction of personal characteristics and contextual influences on individuals construction of knowledge, identities, and relationships. Individual chapters cover subjects from populations as varied as Dutch students, male and female Bedouin and Jewish adolescents, African American male and female adolescents in economically depressed areas of the US, Latino/a college students grappling with ethnic identity and dissonance, Australian college females preparing to be childcare workers, and finally a comparative study of Japanese and U.S. college students epistemic beliefs.The book concludes by addressing questions about the challenges and opportunities involved in developing a valid measure of self-authorship that is less time and expertise-intensive than the in-depth one-on-one interview employed until now and offering an outline of future theoretical and methodological research needed to further our understanding of self-evolution in general and self-authorship in particular.
