Just started the first month's worth of activities. Geared toward K- 12, but super relevant to me.

Can be adapted for writing, groups, or discussion activities. One of by "go to" texts for activities. ]]> 2018-07-13 04:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119118 The Discussion Book: 50 Great Ways to Get People Talking by Stephen Brookfield & Stephen Preskill haronson1 https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119276 OMG. This is a godsend. Fifty different discussion based activities - easy to use and easy to hack. Step-by-step, rationale, and what-to-avoids. MANDATORY. ]]> 2018-07-13 05:03:06 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119276 Embarrassment: And the Emotional Underlife of Learning by Thomas Newkirk haronson1 https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119664 Super influential regarding the affective domain. Not a list of exercises, but rather a narrative/meditation on the place of emotions in learning. Written by an English teacher. ]]> 2018-07-13 05:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119664 Minds Made for Stories: How We Really Read and Write Informational and Persuasive Texts by Thomas Newkirk haronson1 https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119923 A game changer for me - Newkirk posits that the "mother genre" is narrative, and that thinking about kinds of texts as narratives, as stories, can help us be better writers, teachers of writing, and readers. Lurved it. Not list of exercises as much as his intellectual journey, though there are several activities I've hacked for my own use. ]]> 2018-07-13 05:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270119923 180 DAYS: Two Teachers and the Quest to Engage and Empower Adolescents by Penny Kittle and Kelly Gallagher haronson1 https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270120054 Two highly acclaimed English teachers give us a peak into how they plan, coordinate, revise, and revamp a year-long's worth of lessons. They walk through their planning process and the kinds of "midstream revisions" they made throughout the 180 days of class. Loving it. ]]> 2018-07-13 05:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270120054 Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning by James Lang haronson1 https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270120155 Informed by cognitive sciences, Lang outlines several small, incremental changes we can make as teachers that have a big bang in terms of learning. Activities, rationale, and hints. Recognize much of his ideas, but his text and examples push me to think more deeply and intentionally about what I'm doing. ]]> 2018-07-13 05:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haronson1/dj0vchqdh4x2/wish/270120155
