NEW!Effective Supervision: Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching DVDAdministrative leaders have performed observations of teaching practice for years, but those observa-tions have often been seen as superficial at best and subjectively biased at worst. And yet, observation, when done well, can play a vital role in increasing teacher effectiveness, and has become an important part of teacher evaluation systems. What can teachers really gain from being observed in the classroom? And what should the observers be looking for? In Effective Supervision: Supporting the Art and Science of Teaching DVD, researcher and author Robert J. Marzano presents a framework for observing classroom instruction based on the questions and frameworks he first laid out in the ASCD best-selling book The Art and Science of Teaching. Marzano presents a detailed observation protocol and demonstrates how to use it—not only as a tool for analyzing classroom instruction, but also as a starting point to encourage professional dialogue among teachers. As you observe teachers in a variety of classrooms, Marzano and a panel of teachers identify critical aspects of instruction that can help all teachers move their practice from good to great. The interplay between the lessons and the discussions will yield “aha” moments for teachers of all ages and subject areas. This is an essential tool for supervisors, administrators, coaches, and teacher leaders, and can also assist professional learning communities in their ongoing work.(ASCD DVD, 2012) One 55-minute DVD.

Turning High-Poverty Schools into High-Performing SchoolsWILLIAM H. PARRETT AND KATHLEEN M. BUDGE

If some schools can overcome the effects of poverty to become high performing, shouldn’t we be compelled to learn from those schools? Although schools alone will never systemically eliminate poverty, high-poverty, high-performing schools take control of what they can to disrupt the cycle of poverty and close achievement gaps. Based on these lessons and the insights into the complex influence poverty has on children, adolescents, and learning, the authors synthesize real-world practices to provide you with a Framework for Action that ensures your school builds leadership capacity, fosters a supportive school environment, and focuses intensely on learning.(ASCD book, 2012) 8” x 10”, 220 pages.

Teaching Boys Who Struggle in School: Strategies That Turn Underachievers into Successful LearnersKATHLEEN PALMER CLEVELAND

Why do some boys struggle in school, and how can you effectively intervene without jeopardizing the achievements of other, more successful, learners—boys and girls?
