This book provides you with concrete strategies and clear information that will enable you to meet your students’ needs in today’s uncertain climate.

Uncertainty surrounds our schools, including lack of funding for teaching materials, book shortages for school libraries, and cuts for resource staff. Many schools are opening with unfilled teaching positions and teachers who are on staff find they have larger classes. This book offers practical ways to organize students so teachers can support those that require extra help as well as show how they can maintain their agency and meet the learning needs of a diverse group. The book includes formative assessments, examples of teaching strategies and lesson plans, teaching tips, self-assessment forms for teachers and students, reflection questions, and literacy snapshots where you can observe how teachers of different grade levels use a strategy or teaching technique with students. With a focus on collaborative student learning and collective teacher efficacy (CTE), the book is full of concrete ideas and strategies to help teachers build a community of learners through the challenges they may face.

This is a key resource for any elementary and middle school teachers, new or experienced, as well as administrators, coaches and resource teachers.
