Future teachers get a blueprint for organising classrooms to accelerate learning of all children.
- NEW! A state-of-the-art framework for lessons that involve students in learning. A practical Word Detectives lesson framework is included for teaching students how to use all of the clues in the text–context, pictures, and morphology–to figure out word meanings
- NEW! Each comprehension and writing lesson framework is illustrated with a sample lesson and each lesson incorporates the gradual release of Responsibility Model. Each lesson is set up as follows:
  - I Do and You Watch: At the beginning of the lesson, you model and show students how they need to think and what they are to do.
  - I Do and You Help: The class helps the teacher think and do something.
  - You Do It Together and I Help: Students arrange in groups to work together and complete the task. The object is to talk to and teach each other how to do the kind of thinking required by the task.
Readers focus on practical strategies for promoting literacy among struggling and culturally diverse students.
- Included are a variety of suggestions for differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students in today’s increasingly diverse classrooms.
Tech Savvy Teacher and English Language Learners boxes provide practical suggestions for using technology and other resources to make instruction as effective and interesting as possible for all learners.
