EXPERT

& QA

Rebecca DuFour, author

Why did you write Responding to the Every Student Succeeds Act With the PLC at Work™ Process? We wanted to bring light to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)—it’s still in the dark right now, even though it was passed at the end of 2015. There’s a lot of confusion, and our goal is to add clarity for the people trying to implement it. Many schools are still operating under No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top because they’re not aware of the freedom and opportunity that ESSA can offer them. ESSA’s guidelines are in total alignment to the PLC at Work process, which is one of our most promising strategies for improving schools. One of the book’s chapters is devoted to a case study that highlights what a model school would look like as staff successfully implement the PLC at Work process and align to the ESSA guidelines.

Who should read this book? This book meets a real need for innovation and redefines what educational accountability means. School district leaders—superintendents, assistant superintendents, principals, and board members—will certainly benefit from reading this book, as well as policymakers at the local, state, and national levels. It’s also a powerful resource for teacher leaders, as they can have an enormous amount of legislative influence.

Douglas Reeves, author

What are the book’s big takeaways? That schools can do this. That they have what it takes to use the resources that are currently available to them to make alignments to the PLC at Work process, all the while adhering to the federal guidelines. We want to help educators embrace learning as their fundamental purpose and to go to work every day empowered to ensure high levels of learning for all. This means that educators will have to reexamine their traditional practices, policies, and procedures and be willing to make significant changes. For far too long, educators have worked in isolation, and we have placed a heavy burden on the backs of individuals within a school to be responsible for the students assigned to them. We disregard this approach in the PLC at Work process—we embrace the collaborative culture and, together, we’re going to take collective responsibility for student learning.

Operated by the Capitol Region Education Council (CREC), Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts is an interdistrict magnet school program serving students from Hartford and nearly 60 surrounding suburban districts.

CHALLENGE Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts (GHAA) opened its doors in 2012. In its first year of operation, nearly all of the school’s staff were brand-new teachers. They were immediately tested in the first month when almost 80 percent of students scored below proficient on the district’s first common assessment. The school knew they needed to take immediate action.

BOOKS STUDIED GHAA principal Bo Ryan, literacy coach Sarah Henry, and assistant principal Brendan Hines read and discussed more than 50 Solution Tree books that were used for learning, sharing, creating, and research. To see the complete book study list visit SolutionTree.com/GHAA

Page 11

IMPLEMENTATION The staff of GHAA started building a professional learning community, relying on dozens of Solution Tree books to guide them on their journey. During the team’s first professional development session, they used reproducibles from Learning by Doing by Richard DuFour, Rebecca DuFour, Robert Eaker, Thomas W. Many, and Mike Mattos to build shared knowledge and begin creating their own vision, mission, and collective commitments. “In the last five years, we have used a variety of resources from Solution Tree to help improve our school,” said Principal Bo Ryan. “During this time, we did not have the money to attend a professional development event or to have a consultant visit our school. I just bought the books, read everything possible, and shared the information with my instructional coach and assistant principal. We discussed the content and created a plan for school improvement.” The leadership team worked to embed professional learning into the school day, with every meeting focusing on student learning. Teachers were given 80 minutes of planning time daily and were provided numerous collaborative learning opportunities: professional learning walks, peer visits, prior-to-unit planning, end-of-unit analysis, collaborative planning, coaching with specialists, early-intervention meetings, and student-support meetings. The school also set aside four hours of professional development time monthly.

Professional Development

The sharing of professional resources and knowledge allows our staff to learn as a unified group with consistent language, expectations, and practices, and collaboratively created protocols. Our staff believes strongly in ongoing professional learning, researching best practices and resources to improve instructional methods.” —Sarah Henry, literacy coach

RESULTS GHAA became a true professional learning community with a relentless focus on helping all students achieve at high levels. After the initial common formative assessment (CFA) in September 2012, GHAA administered two additional CFAs in December 2012 and in February 2013, with incredible results. In 2014, the school was identified as “Progressing” by the Connecticut State Department of Education. A Progressing school is one that has shown significant progress toward closing the achievement gap and improving overall student performance. GHAA also earned national recognition as a model PLC on AllThingsPLC.info.

How will we know when they have learned it? Common assessments can be automatically graded via computer camera or browser. Based on their scores, students can be grouped by proficiency level. Rich charts and graphs enable teams to analyze data student by student and skill by skill.

How will we respond when some students already know it? Brandon Smith

Global PD automatically identifies students who are above proficiency by skill, allowing teams to group those students into targeted enrichment sessions and track their progress.

EXPERT

& QA

Anthony Muhammad, author

The two of you are collaborating on an exciting new book. What is the focus? The focus of our new book is to explore and offer practical insight and solutions to the most common obstacles that leaders face in creating a healthy school culture. Readers will be introduced to two forms of staff resistance: rational and irrational. Rational resistance is the natural by-product of exposure to bad leadership. Irrational resistance occurs when an educator simply does not want to change, based upon personal preference. We will reveal strategies to overcome both types of dilemmas. After reading the book, both administrators and teachers will be better equipped to engage with other professionals to collectively embrace change in policies, practices, and procedures designed to increase learning for all students.

What inspired you to write this book? We have had the honor of serving educators all over the world as education consultants. After introducing audiences to effective practices, like establishing a strong professional learning community (PLC) or redesigning their school to respond to struggling learners (RTI), the most frequent question asked by educators has been “How do we get our staff to buy in to these practices?” This burning question led us both to collaborate on the need to research and share tools that would allow leaders to tactfully and effectively confront adult resistance.

Luis F. Cruz, author

book will focus on the leadership behaviors that help to transition a school culture from toxic to healthy. This book is essentially an extension of chapter 7 of Transforming School Culture, which introduced the reader to the influence of leadership.

What specific challenges will it help educators overcome? The most essential benefit for the reader will be the demystifying of the change process. We understand that educational professionals are sincere, but sincerity alone is not enough to be truly effective. We will provide the evidence that proves that four important leadership behaviors can totally transform a school culture when used properly. There are few things more frustrating than working hard and using the wrong tools. We want to help the reader understand that the masterful implementation of a few highly effective skills is much more beneficial than using a plethora of ineffective strategies. We want the reader to walk away from this text and scream “I can do this!”

Our book is a continuation of the mission introduced in Transforming School Culture. Children deserve a school where the behaviors of the adult professionals are aligned with their needs.

CHS’s outstanding results are because our team comes together each week and has meaningful conversations around interventions. No excuses or complaining allowed. Student success is the only goal. Mike Mattos was right.” —former principal Karinne Tharaldson-Jones

IMPLEMENTATION The CHS leadership team was determined to focus on the right things that would enable a total and complete school system change: • Student learning • Teacher collaboration • Administrative “laser-like” focus Using the books Pyramid Response to Intervention and Simplifying Response to Intervention (Buffum, Mattos, and Weber) as guides, CHS staff implemented an intervention process where data for every student and every intervention is analyzed by a team each week. By working collaboratively, school staff are now able to ensure students succeed and achieve at high levels.

Page 41

RESULTS By every indicator, CHS has been successful in improving student performance. From 2009 to 2014, the total number of course failures in grades 9–12 decreased by 79%. Results also show that students feel supported in their efforts to be successful in the classroom and, in response, are showing up to learn. In just one year—from 2012–13 to 2013–14—student attendance increased by 3%.

What inspires or drives your work? My inspiration stems from administrators and educators who allow me to match their staff and student realities with responsive interventions. As an RTI and inclusion consultant and coach, I assist both general and special education staff to collaboratively inspire each student to succeed. My passion is to spread the word and help educators and students soar to new heights.

What challenges will Developing Effective Learners help educators overcome? Educators today face many challenges that include instructing students with diverse needs and meeting high benchmarks for student achievement, all while keeping students engaged and learning at different levels within one classroom. Developing Effective Learners helps educators focus on how RTIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multitiered approach for literacy, mathematics, and social, emotional, and behavioral skills can help all students achieve mastery. The book highlights organization, valid instruction, and the steps administrators, teachers, and support staff can take to lead learners from their baseline skills to high achievement through the responsive tiers.

anxieties and apprehensions with RTI planning, knowledge, step-by-step procedures, resources, and collaboration. Despite the obstacles educators may encounter in their classroom journeys, there are effective ways to navigate the curriculum that do not frustrate educators or their students.

What professional development do you offer to support these books? My professional development offerings include one-day, two-day, and ongoing sessions that are designed to help teachers create supportive and inclusive classroom lessons that proactively address diverse learning needs. This includes step-by-step ways to apply evidence-based practices that match the characteristics of students across the disciplines and grade levels from PreKâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;12 with multitiered responsive interventions.

& QA

Nanci N. Smith, author

What inspires or drives your work? My work is inspired by a love for kids and the teachers who work with them. The excitement of watching students and teachers understand something and make connections is incredible. Math is a subject that is too often taught as something to be memorized, whether it is number facts or the steps to a procedure. I love it when you can see that students have made sense of the math! Math can be taught in so many fun and creative ways so that numbers come to life and the operations make perfect sense. I love sharing these ideas.

What makes A Mind for Mathematics unique? A Mind for Mathematics is a look at the complexities of what it takes to teach math effectively in the elementary classroom. It begins with setting up a classroom environment where kids risk being wrong and wrestle with important tasks. It includes engaging strategies for teaching, lesson plans and examples, assessment ideas, and how to make these work for all the different kids we teach. Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and a call to action to encourage teachers to live out the book. Perhaps my favorite chapter is the lastâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;advice from the field of maintaining balance and sanity!

What challenges will this book help educators overcome? I wrote this book to overcome two of the greatest challenges I see in the teaching of elementary mathematics: not making sense of the mathematics and boredom. The book is about engaging with, figuring out, and exploring mathematics in new and

energizing ways, all within a community of learners doing the same things. The many games and lesson examples provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;boredom-bustingâ&#x20AC;? solutions, and the tips on building the right environment support the Mind for Mathematics we want students to have. Differentiation examples are given so this approach to learning math is indeed for every math student.

What professional development do you offer to support these books? I love to come and work with teachers! I offer a wide variety of workshops including differentiating mathematics, curriculum and lesson development, writing assessments, and generally all things math. I especially enjoy being able to coach in classrooms or work with teacher leaders and equip them to support the teachers whom they serve. Finally, I often work with administrators in the shifts in teaching mathematics, and what to look for as they go into classrooms or have conferences with teachers.

& QA What inspires or drives your work? Tom Hierck: I have been an educator for 35 years and am both humbled and honored to have had this opportunity. I believe my children had a high-quality education, and I believe my grandchildren deserve nothing less. I am committed to ensure all students learn and grow in the most positive, academically inspiring, safe learning environment. I must do my part to make that happen. Angela Freese: I absolutely love being a public educator. I am inspired daily by my staff and students, and the regular dialogue and collaboration we share is such a gift. I learn so much from the people within my organization, and they drive me to learn more and be a better version of myself every day. My experiences in the classroom humble me in my current work, as I will never forget what it was like to be a teacher.

Angela Freese, author

Tom Hierck, author

What challenges will this book help educators overcome? TH: This book will help educators understand that this work can no longer be—and probably never should have been— managed in isolation. It frames assessment as a practice of evidence-gathering, not number-gathering, and sets the focus of our work on the learning, not the earning. AF: One of the most essential elements of our work is also the most challenging: adult collaboration. Some teams, schools, or districts say they value adult collaboration, yet the system does not provide the time, support, or training for those collaboration practices to come to fruition. This book is crafted to enable educators to collectively develop trusting relationships, engage in strong communication, be responsive to each other’s needs and the needs of students, and ultimately create a sustainable system that impacts achievement.

What makes Assessing Unstoppable Learning unique? TH: This approach builds on Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey’s Unstoppable Learning model, which identifies seven essential elements for successful teaching and learning. We’ve taken one of the elements—assessment—and greatly expanded upon it. AF: This resource was truly designed to be an experience for the reader. We intentionally created places within the book for readers to pause, reflect, and jot down their thinking. Rather than expecting or modeling “perfection” in our stories and examples, we tried to highlight the true development of this work and provide strong layers of support for teachers and teams as they grow their own capacity along the way.

What professional development do you offer to support these books? TH: We offer personalized on-site support for teachers, teacher teams, and administrators. We’ve also created free reproducibles and a study guide that will assist colleagues in diving into the content of this book. AF: In addition, we are available for group workshops, keynotes, virtual sessions, and conference calls.

“We believe that teachers matter, and what they do matters most. In other words, we don’t take a passive approach to instruction. We know that lesson design and delivery are critical. Students learn because their teachers (and those who support their teachers) take the time to plan, deliver, and assess meaningful instruction.”

Components of Unstoppable Learning

Service 1: Leadership Focused on Identifying Needs Implement systemic change throughout the district by engaging district leaders in a learning experience based on the seven critical components for student success, and identify areas of strength and need at both the district and site levels.

Service 2: Building Capacity and Knowledge Development for Teacher Leaders Bring together leadership teams from different schools to focus on the key opportunities for growth identified in the Service 1 needs assessment.

Service 3: Differentiated Professional Learning for Teachers Provide teachers with an overview of the Unstoppable Learning model for context. Then, differentiate teacher learning based on needs identified in Services 1 and 2. While teachers gain context and support, leaders move into deeper work.

Service 4: Individual Site Development Engage in job-embedded real-time coaching, including productive classroom observation, feedback, and professional development tailored to the needs of each school.

Service 5: Focus Schools for Going to Scale Identify schools, in partnership with the district, for targeted, long-term support. Based on site-specific needs assessments, these multiple sessions throughout the school year address opportunities for growth in high-leverage components aligned with district needs.

Additional services English Language Arts Site-Specific Coaching Identify schools for targeted support provided in multiple sessions throughout the school year. Educators will gain a deep understanding of collaborative conversations and text complexity, close reading in all disciplines, writing from sources, supporting diverse language and learning needs, text-dependent questions, and promoting writing in all disciplines.

EVIDENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT

DEMOGRAPHICS • 29,642 Students

• 11% Special education

• 1,200 Teachers

• 6% African American

• 56% Free and reduced lunch

• 68% Hispanic

• 36% Limited English proficient

• 2% Native American/Alaska Native

The largest K–6 district in the state of California, Chula Vista is comprised of 45 schools, including 5 charter schools. Thirty of the 40 noncharter schools receive Title I funding. The district spans suburban and urban areas from downtown San Diego to the border with Tijuana, Mexico, and serves many transborder families.

IMPLEMENTATION Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey worked for three years with site-based instructional leadership teams comprised of the principal and one teacher per grade. Eventually, the professional development extended to all teachers districtwide. Participants discovered how to launch student learning by establishing clear learning targets, making learning relevant, anticipating student errors and misconceptions, and incorporating numerous strategies to invite students into learning. They also learned how to consolidate student learning—how to deliver instruction so that students would know how and when to use the information gained.

RESULTS “The results—both qualitative and quantitative—have been amazing,” says Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services John M. Nelson. Teachers across the system are able to engage in conversations not only about what to teach and assess, but also about how to effectively use instructional practices to ensure quality teaching. The data continued to improve. Student progress, as measured by the California Standards Test in both ELA and mathematics, doubled from 2002 to 2013, the year the testing ended. During this same period, the Academic Performance Index (API), California’s growth model target, increased over 150 points.

& QA

David A. Sousa, author

Carol Ann Tomlinson, author

What inspires or drives your work in differentiation and neuroscience?

What challenges will this book help educators overcome?

Research in educational neuroscience allows us to gain a better understanding of how the brain learns. These findings can inform our practice with the view of improving student achievement. Academic diversity exists in virtually every classroom, and the negative consequences of teaching as though those differences matter very little are evident.

School populations continue to become more diverse in cultures, native languages, experience, entry points, and interests. Add to this mix the impact of technology, and it becomes clear that teachers need all the appropriate resources they can find to help them address the learning needs of all of their students. We address these challenges in our book and suggest successful classroom-tested strategies that can help teachers be successful with their students.

Research in psychology has, for decades, helped us understand how and why the differences matter and how we might teach more effectively in diverse classrooms. Findings stemming from the relatively new field of neuroscience add greatly to our understanding of how brains learn, and how they might learn differently from one another. In this book, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve connected the dots between differentiation, a model for teaching in academically diverse settings, and neuroscience.

What will readers find new in the second edition of Differentiation and the Brain? We have added more recent findings from brain research that support each of the key components of differentiated instruction. Of particular interest is the research on how technology is rewiring the young brain, and the implications that this rewiring has for teaching and learning. We have also expanded our discussion on the importance of frequent and targeted formative assessments. The concept of learning styles continues to be controversial, and we have expanded this discussion to distinguish between useful and questionable practices in this area, based on contemporary research findings.

What is one big idea you hope educators will gain from this book? Properly implemented differentiated instruction is a proven method for enhancing student success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important approach for teachers to understand and apply in instructional planning for the broad range of learners in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classrooms.

EXPERT

& QA What inspires or drives your work? Lee Watanabe Crockett: In the last decade, I’ve been privileged to work with thousands of educators in a dozen countries as they transform their practice. I am continually inspired by the learners in these schools. Their compassion for humankind and passion for excellence inspires me. Andrew Churches: The best part of each day is the time I spend in the classroom, supporting student learning. I teach senior IT and computer science, and watching my students grow in their skills and abilities is a high point.

What challenges will Growing Global Digital Citizens help educators overcome? LWC: For years, educators have struggled to come to terms with the endless stream of digital devices entering our schools. These tools present an amazing opportunity to shift to student-centered learning and cultivate a generation of responsible, ethical citizens. By making this shift, technology can take a meaningful place in our schools and allow learners to communicate their understanding of the curriculum in a variety of complex ways. Growing Global Digital Citizens is the road map to this outcome. AC: Growing Global Digital Citizens unravels the mysteries of the key competencies—or any number of similarly related statements from education systems—that try to identify what our young learners should be able to do. The statements are ones that are universally reflected and accepted, but all lack the key ingredients to take them from laudable goals to attainable and applicable attributes. This is a guide to providing our learners with a practical and applicable tool set for life.

Lee Watanabe Crockett, author

Andrew Churches, author

What will educators find most valuable in Mindful Assessment? LWC: A new focus on soft skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and creativity now sit on the front of curricula around the world, but without a process to cultivate them or to assess them. What Mindful Assessment provides is a common language for the development and assessment of these Essential Fluencies and provides insight into the application and reporting of formative assessment practices to deepen learning. AC: Mindful Assessment provides teachers with tools and rubrics to support the development of six Essential Fluencies. The term fluency was deliberately selected when we developed these processes. Beyond literacy is fluency, where you are unconsciously competent. Mindful Assessment provides the tools to help make the jump to fluency, because literacy is not enough.

What professional development do you offer to support these books? LWC: We work with schools and districts around the world to assist in transforming teaching and learning and build every session to meet the unique needs of each situation. AC: We offer a variety of professional learning opportunities ranging from long-term support for schools and districts to presentations, workshops, webinars, or just a simple email conversation.

EXPERT

& QA

Katie Stover Kelly, author

What inspires or drives your work in bringing digital tools to literacy education? With the constant influx of technology in society and increasing access to technology in schools, teachers desire to integrate digital tools into the classroom. However, technology can be viewed as an add-on with the already overflowing responsibilities teachers assume. We believe that technology can be easily and purposefully integrated into preexisting lessons and instructional activities. We can reframe our teaching by considering how digital tools allow us to do something more effectively and efficiently.

What challenges will this book help educators overcome? We aim to help educators overcome perceived barriers to see the benefits for integrating technology meaningfully in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classrooms. This book provides readers with specific instructional suggestions along with explicit directions and real classroom examples for easy implementation in Kâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 classrooms. These strategies are effective, research-based literacy practices that also incorporate technology.

Lindsay Yearta, author

communicate, and collaborate within and beyond the four walls of the classroom in new and innovative ways. In an era of fake news, we believe it is essential that students learn to be critical consumers and producers of online text. Our book includes chapters focused on infographics, digital word walls, online discussions of literature, collaborative writing and storytelling, as well as formative assessment and self-evaluation practices.

What professional development do you offer to support this book? We are available to come work with schools, districts, and organizations to share researchbased instructional practices for integrating technology into the classroom to foster literacy teaching and learning in meaningful ways.

FEATURED BOOK

What is one big idea you hope educators will gain from this book? The purpose of this book is to discuss and demonstrate how the use of technology can foster development of skills and deeper thinking through authentic reading, writing, and communication practices in the classroom and beyond. Digital tools allow students to compose, create,

EXPERT

& QA

Thomas W. Many, author

Why did you write Amplify Your Impact? We wanted to help schools struggling to implement professional learning communities. This book supports them through the entire process of becoming a collaborative team and doing the right work. Many schools believe that PLC is the path forward, but there seems to be a missing link between training and application. When teams start to struggle, we’ve found the need for them to be supported in very specific ways. So many teams are engaged in “PLC-lite”—and they’re not going to get to “PLC-right” without some targeted, purposeful support. That’s where the coaching comes in. We’ve seen that when teams are coached, schools get better, teachers feel a greater sense of efficacy, and student achievement improves.

Who should read this book? There are a lot practical solutions in this book for district-level administrators to understand how to set up a coaching program. We also provide concrete information for principals and coaches at the building level to actually implement the work. In addition, the book would be of great value at the team level, for teachers to reflect on their practices. Long-term, teams can even use this process to coach themselves.

Michael J. Susan K. Maffoni, author Sparks, author

Tesha Ferriby Thomas, author

What are the book’s big takeaways? The better individuals are as a team, the more impact they can have on kids. If you believe coaching individual teachers is effective and if you believe collaborative teams are effective, then it makes sense to shift your coaching from coaching individuals to coaching teams. Improvement doesn’t happen by chance. Just saying to teams, “Here’s the PLC process, go forth and collaborate” is not a strategy. Teams need to be supported in a partnership to improve—and that support has to be really intentional in how it’s offered and how it’s coached. The book includes tools and processes that provide teams and schools clarity on what long-term successes look like and breaks it out into shorter-term benchmarks. We also share strategies on how to offer feedback and how to coach teams forward to what’s next.

EXPERT

& QA What inspires or drives your work? I am inspired by the great work I see teachers doing every day at every grade level. It’s my goal to support them in delivering effective instruction by providing them with ideas to incorporate into their repertoires. Whenever possible, I also like to provide them with specifics they can use immediately so that they can save time researching and creating.

What makes Vocabulary in a SNAP unique? There are a lot practical solutions in this book for district-level administrators to understand how to set up a coaching program. We also provide concrete information for principals and coaches at the building level to actually implement the work. In addition, the book would be of great value at the team level, for teachers to reflect on their practices. Long-term, teams can even use this process to coach themselves.

Angela Peery, author

What professional development do you offer to support these books? I’m happy to support grade-level teams, entire school faculties, or entire districts in learning more about how the SNAP vocabulary lessons are designed and about how to implement them. I can do full-day workshops to introduce the concepts represented in the book and model how the lessons work. I can also provide customized support for teaching the lessons as teachers use them through observations, feedback, and planning.

FEATURED BOOKS

What challenges will these books help educators overcome? All teachers I’ve ever met agree that students need to enlarge their vocabularies, but they’re unsure of how to go about helping students achieve this. They also often wonder which words or which roots to teach. The SNAP books help alleviate some of the frustration or indecision. They can help a teacher get started right away, and my ultimate goal is that teachers then create their own lessons with the SNAP protocol and use it as a core part of their ongoing vocabulary instruction.

Classroom Management & Behavior The Beginning Teacher’s Field Guide

NEW

Embarking on Your First Years By Tina H. Boogren The joys and pains of starting a teaching career often go undiscussed. This field guide dives deep into the personal side of teaching, offering crucial advice, empathy, and support. The author details six phases every new teacher goes through—anticipation, survival, disillusionment, rejuvenation, reflection, and second anticipation—and outlines targeted classroom strategies and self-care practices for each.

Take Time for You

NEW

Self-Care Action Plans for Educators By Tina H. Boogren The key to thriving, as both a human and an educator, rests in daily self-care. With Take Time for You, you’ll discover a clear path to well-being by working through Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, self-actualization, and transcendence. The author offers a range of manageable strategies, reflection questions, and self-care surveys that will guide you in developing an individualized self-care plan.

• Understand the challenges to mindfulness for teachers and how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs comes into play in your personal and professional life. • Design action plans so you can meet your own physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, and selfactualization needs and, finally, transcend and connect with something greater than yourself. • Take surveys and perform a daily time audit to determine on how well you are meeting each of your needs. 82CCA–BKF813 $29.95 USD | $37.50 CAD ISBN 978-1-945349-71-3

EXPERT

& QA What inspires or drives your work? I am a fierce advocate for educators and take immense pride in helping individuals, schools, and districts create an environment where everyone has the tools and strategies that they need in order to thrive both inside and outside the classroom, for the sake of the students they serve. As a lifelong educator, I understand the unique challenges of this work and am so grateful for every opportunity that I have to help serve educators and students alike.

What challenges will Take Time for You help educators overcome? We’ve all heard the classic airline safety announcement before: You must secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others. This isn’t just for travelers, though; it’s also true for us as educators. By utilizing a researchbased framework for self-care, I help educators learn how to monitor their own emotions and reactions and then develop their own personalized self-care plans. Through the use of specific tools, strategies, reflection prompts, and surveys, readers will walk away feeling grounded, more balanced, and inspired to take care of themselves so they can engage, empower, and motivate their students.

What is one big idea you hope educators will gain from The Beginning Teacher’s Field Guide? Stepping foot into one’s own classroom for the very first time can bring about such a wide range of feelings and emotions. There's excitement mixed with fear, hope combined with uncertainty, and anticipation alongside doubt. In this book, my aim is to empower

Tina H. Boogren

our newest educators to support themselves, whether they have a mentor or not, through a focus on targeted instructional strategies, self-care suggestions, and reflection prompts all specifically designed to correspond with the typical phases that a beginning teacher goes through each year. We cannot continue to lose so many of our new teachers; my hope is that this book will offer a lifeline and a hand to the next generation of educators.

What professional development do you offer to support these books? I am thrilled to provide workshops, keynotes, interactive web/videoconferencing, and coaching opportunities for educators on these topics as well as on my other areas of expertise, including the use of research-based instructional strategies, student engagement and inspiration, mentoring and coaching, and collaborative teaming. I am passionate about providing individualized, tailored support to schools and districts based on their current needs and goals.

EXPERT

& QA Why inspired you to write Building a Culture of Hope? There has been a growing interest at the school level in how a child’s experiences outside of school affect his or her performance in school. After performing research, it became clear that more focus needed to be given to the specific and unique needs of children living in poverty.

What challenges will it help educators overcome? We’ve found that individuals living in poverty often develop a learned hopelessness and helplessness. They believe that no matter how hard they work or how much they invest, things will never get better. This belief system continues when students from highpoverty environments arrive in school. From the start, they believe they can’t do the schoolwork or succeed. Building a Culture of Hope offers a clear framework for how to build resilient schools and build resilience in students by cultivating optimism and belonging.

Bob Barr, author

Emily Gibson, author

them understand that the things they do in addition to instruction—such as creating a caring classroom atmosphere—can have a transformative, long-lasting impact on students.

How has the book already impacted schools? Administrators and teachers alike have been incredibly enthusiastic and have really championed this idea. We constantly hear from individuals who say they used Building a Culture of Hope to transform their schools, which really speaks to the power of what’s inside the book’s covers. A comment we frequently receive from educators is that this book connects them to the reasons they got into education as a career in the first place. They appreciate that the things we’re asking them to do— such as creating a sense of belonging for students—feel right in their hearts. Then we give them the research that proves that doing these things is indeed vital to student success.

What makes the book unique? Our book is built on the Four Seeds of Hope. We believe that for children from poverty to learn and learn effectively, they must develop (1) a sense of optimism, (2) a sense of belonging, (3) a sense of pride self-esteem, and self-confidence, and (4) a sense of purpose. We laid out not only what the current research says but also filled the book with interviews, personal stories, and real-life experiences. This title doesn’t show readers how to teach adverbs or mathematics concepts. It’s meant to inspire educators, build them up, and give them hope. It helps
