Some great teachers are born, but most are self-made. And the way to make yourself a great teacher is to learn to think and act like one. In this updated second edition of the bestselling Never Work Harder Than Your Students, Robyn R. Jackson reaffirms that every teacher can become a master teacher. The secret is not a specific strategy or technique, nor it is endless hours of prep time. It's developing a master teacher mindset.

In Visible Learning for Mathematics, six acclaimed educators assert it’s not about which one—it’s about when—and show you how to design high-impact instruction so all students demonstrate more than a year’s worth of mathematics learning for a year spent in school.

This groundbreaking new collection addresses the burning issue of how we interpret history today.

I am Andrew First, Leader of the Architects Clan. We've managed to leave Novosibirsk, where the zombies and mutants are becoming stronger and more numerous by the day. Our goal now is to found our own city. But there are many other groups of survivors besides us, and every one of them wants to get the best spot for themselves. We've fought against zombies, fought against mutants, fought against monsters. Can it really be that now we're going to have to aim these weapons at other people?

Imagine you find yourself in a world that prizes martial arts above all else, and that I am the descendant of an ancient clan who have honed their skill from generation to generation to rise to the ranks of the most powerful . . . Bet you're surprised, right? The thing is, most of my teachers say I'm a hopeless, talentless loser. No big deal, at first glance at least. I can survive just fine without talent. There's just one catch—I'm already dead. Or am I?

Improve student outcomes with data-driven coaching. Student-Centered Coaching is grounded on the premise that school-based coaching can be designed to directly impact student learning. Shifting the focus from “fixing” teachers to collaborating with them in designing instruction that targets for student achievement makes coaching more respectful and results-based. The book also underscores the critical role of the principal in fostering a culture of learning.

If educators’ realities are filtered through the belief that they can do very little to influence student achievement, then it is likely these beliefs will manifest in their practice. The solution? Collective efficacy (CE)—the belief that, through collective actions, educators can influence student outcomes and increase achievement. Educators with high efficacy show greater effort and persistence, willingness to try new teaching approaches, and attend more closely to struggling students’ needs. This book presents practical strategies and tools for increasing student achievement.

This may be the scariest summer of their lives. Worse than going to summer school or working a job that doesn't pay. Even worse than attending their parents' old sleep away camp. The foursome must face their phobias as students at the exclusive and elusive School of Fear. Run by former beauty queen, Mrs. Wellington, the school is unusual, to say the least. But terrifying would be a more accurate description.

Während ich mich in Afrika abkühlen konnte, haben sich die Dinge zu Hause in rasantem Tempo entwickelt. Zombies haben eine Stadt direkt neben meiner gegründet, und die nächstgelegenen menschlichen Siedlungen sind nun vereint und wetzen fleißig ihre Messer. In der Zwischenzeit weben auch innerhalb des Architekten-Clans Verräter ihr Netz aus Intrigen, und eine unüberschaubare Zombiehorde bewegt sich von China aus unaufhaltsam auf uns zu. Und das sind nur einige der Probleme, die ich lösen muss, sobald ich wieder zu Hause bin.

While I’ve been cooling my heels in Africa, things have been happening at a furious pace back home. Zombies have founded a city right next to mine, and the nearest human settlements are now united and busy sharpening their knives. Meanwhile, traitors weave their webs of intrigue within the Architects Clan itself, and a numberless horde of zombies is moving relentlessly toward us from China. And these are just some of the problems I’m going to have to solve as soon as I get home.

“Dear Law Student: Here’s the truth. You belong here.” Law Professor Andrew Ferguson and former student Jonathan Yusef Newton open with this statement of reassurance in The Law of Law School. As all former law students and current lawyers can attest, law school is disorienting, overwhelming, and difficult. Unlike other educational institutions, law school is not set up simply to teach a subject. Instead, the first year of law school is set up to teach a skill set and way of thinking, which you then apply to do the work of lawyering.

All Luis Gonzalez wants is to go to prom with his boyfriend, something his 'progressive' school still doesn’t allow. Not after what happened with Chaz Wilson. But that was ages ago, when Luis’ parents were in high school; it would never happen today, right? He’s determined to find a way to give his LGBTQ friends the respect they deserve (while also not risking his chance to be prom king, just saying). When a hit on the head knocks him back in time to 1985 and he meets the doomed young Chaz himself, Luis concocts a new plan - he’s going to give this guy his first real kiss.

Mai is in danger, and the only clue Sakuta has is a cryptic message from himself saying he needs to find Touko Kirishima.
