Schoolwide, Inc. produces digital and print resources to support reading, writing, and grammar instruction in your classroom. It is our job as educators to ensure that our curriculum materials and instructional practices are research based, meet the rigorous criteria set forth in national and state standards, and promote responsive teaching to meet the diverse learning needs of all students. Schoolwide’s Fundamentals Units of Study are designed to meet the instructional needs of literacy educators, with a particular focus on authenticity, usability, and effectiveness. Created using the workshop model, Schoolwide’s units teach students to be critical thinkers, readers, and writers who learn from each other as well as the texts they read and discuss. Created by teachers for teachers, these units are designed for ease of instruction, providing clear frameworks and opportunities for differentiation. Our units can be easily integrated with each other for seamless academic instruction. 4 SCHOOLWIDE Fundamentals and Best Practices BALANCED LITERACY AND THE GRADUAL RELEASE OF RESPONSIBILITY Balanced Literacy is a framework for reading and writing instruction. It includes various components or instructional practices that operate together in order to develop skillful readers and writers. This approach to curriculum development and instruction is aligned to the important work of P. David Pearson and Margaret C. Gallagher described in their “Gradual Release of Responsibility Model.” This model posits that when teaching students effective strategies for processing and composing texts, teachers should first explicitly model the strategy (e.g., Interactive Read-Alouds, Mini-Lessons, word study), then guide students as they implement the strategy, or practice the strategy jointly with the students (e.g., shared reading, shared writing), then move toward the teacher supporting and coaching the students’ independent practice of the strategy (e.g., guided reading and writing), and finally conclude with independent practice and application by the students with teacher feedback (e.g., independent reading and writing).

Used with permission from the publisher 5 2018 ProdSamp_Layout 1 7/28/17 12:02 PM Page 9 Fundamentals and Best Practices MENTOR TEXTS Mentor texts are carefully selected pieces of writing we turn to, and often return to, in order to model how authors craft texts and how readers engage with texts. Mentor texts hold many possibilities for teaching and learning. Often the conversations shared about these stories, characters, subjects, structures, illustrations, or themes become part of a collaborative classroom culture where books play a significant role. Each Reading, Writing, and Grammar Fundamentals unit includes 5–10 rich, engaging, authentic literary and/or informational texts that span grade-level complexity bands. They include a wide variety of genres, authors, cultures, and content. Additionally, each unit includes 3–13 short shared texts (e.g., articles, essays, poems, short stories, editorials, book reviews, primary source documents, etc.) to be used during whole- class and small-group instruction. CRITERIA FOR MENTOR TEXT SELECTION - Variety: varied genres and subgenres, text structures, authors, content, and cultures - Complexity: providing regular practice with grade-appropriate complex texts. The following are important criteria for determining complexity: - Quantitative measures: word length or frequency, sentence length, and formula (Lexile, Accelerated Reader) - Qualitative measures: content analysis, levels of meaning and purpose, structure and style, language conventionality, and clarity - Reader and task considerations: language, knowledge, experiences, and motivational factors ORDER BY Email: [email protected] 6 6 Phone: 1.800.261.9964 - Fax: 1.866.333.1130 - Mail: 33 Walt Whitman Rd., Suite 204E, Huntington Station, NY 11746 Fundamentals and Best Practices READING AND WRITING WORKSHOP During reading and writing workshop, a supportive teaching and learning environment is created, in which students engage in authentic reading and writing tasks driven by student choice and intention. Students purposefully select materials to read and topics to write about. Students also use Reading Notebooks and Writers’ Notebooks to respond, react, and reflect on what they read, as well as to record thoughts and observations about their world. During reading and writing workshop, teachers focus on students as readers and writers, nurture their reading and writing identities, and help them develop a repertoire of reading and writing skills and strategies. Teachers model what readers and writers do and share their own experiences, including how they think, problem-solve, and make meaning. As students read and write, or struggle to read and write, they feel comfort knowing they are part of a supportive community. This builds their confidence, knowledge, and motivation, which results in risk-taking and growth. The charts below define each part of the workshop and provide approximate

DESCRIPTORS Course Descriptions; *Educational Games; Elementary Grades; *Games; Graduate Study; *Problem Solving; Secondary Grades IDENTIFIERS *Tools for Change ABSTRACT Tools for Change, a new course in problem-solving, consists of a series of units, each dealing with a subject area based on a set of heuristic processes or strategies. It assumes that: 1) there is an identifiable and useful set of heuristic processes in problem-solving; )a language of process will improve communication between problem-solvers; 3) educators can use heuristics to synthesize the curriculum; and 4) games are effective in teaching and learning about heuristics. Each unit of the course deals with a subject area based on a set of heiristic processes and each has three sections. Section I identifies strategies, using.games as a medium. The second and third sections seek instances in other contexts and apply them in concrete situations. Initially, the course will be taught at the elementary, secondary, and graduate school levels to groups of about 15 students, for two 2-hour periods a week. Qualitative evaluation will be gathered from student feedback, protocol analysis, and observation; quantitative assessment will be deferred until later.

  • Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

    Dr. William Long 28 April 2001 Karen Brewster Interviewer (Begin Tape 1 - Side A) (000) KB: This is Karen Brewster and today is Saturday, April 28th, 2001. I'm here at the home of William Long in Palmer, Alaska, and we're going to be talking about his Antarctic and Arctic experiences and career. So, thank you very much for having me here. WL: Well, it's great to have you here Karen. It's an opportunity that I'm happy to participate in. KB: Well, good. And this is for the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State. You very nicely wrote everything down and started to answer the questions, but I'm going to go through it so we can talk about things. WL: And I won't have those in my hand, so you can compare my answers to your questions. KB: So, let's just start with when and where you were born and a little bit about your childhood. 2 WL: I was born August 18th, 1930, in Minot, North Dakota. My father was a schoolteacher and he had taken his first job at Belva, which is near Minot, and it was that year that I was born. It was one of the coldest years they had experienced and perhaps that influences my interest in cold areas. But, my mother has told me that it was the year that it was below 50 below there and the cows froze in the field across from the home they lived in. We only lived there one year and from that point, we moved to California when I was one year old, and essentially I was raised in California, until I began adult life.
