Each week, I publish a post or two containing three or four particularly useful resources on classroom instruction, and you can see them all here.
You might also be interested in THE BEST RESOURCES ON CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IN 2019 – PART TWO.
Here are this week’s picks:
Research Matters / Cracking the Reading Code is from ASCD’s Educational Leadership. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About Balanced Literacy & The “Reading Wars”
Here’s a pretty good overview of all the changes coming to IB Theory of Knowledge classes next year.
What Questions Do You Have About How the World Works? is from The New York Times Learning Network and is about their STEM writing contest. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Writing In Science Class and to The Best Resources For Writing In Math Class.
Facing History is doing a series on “How The World Votes.” Their first two lessons are on How the World Votes: India’s Election and Access to Polling Places and How the World Votes: The Iowa Caucuses and Voter Representation.
How scaffolding lessons can strengthen critical thinking development is from Education Dive. I’m adding it to The Best Resources On Providing Scaffolds To Students.
Using RAN Charts to Reimagine Nonfiction Learning appeared in Medium. I’m adding it to The Best Resources For Learning About The Importance Of Prior Knowledge (& How To Activate It).
I’m adding this tweet to the same list:
