"This is a conversational book with the author around big ideas in literacy and their impact on democracy. The author explores powerful ideas from the 'writing renaissance', 1975-1987; the founders and their philosophies, and the impact those ideas have had on teaching and learning. He examines the legacy of those founders through their own works, explains the concept, argues for its importance, and draws on his own teaching practice/observations This intent is to include interviews from the next generation - both teachers and scholars - who have embraced and built upon those ideas. Given the current climate of restricted choice, formula writing, shifts in media, the author expresses a sense of urgency on how the decline of engagement, creativity, innovation, writing as voice have a negative impact on future generations"--

What are the problems of rural food supply in southern Africa today, and how have they arisen historically? This major study of household production, gender, and nutrition traces detailed changes in the agricultural system of Zambia's Northern Province over a period of one hundred years. The authors combine historical, anthropological, and developmental approaches to the study of a rural society undergoing rapid change, and provide a critical reassessment of Audrey Richards' classic work, Land, Labour and Diet: An Economic Study of the Bemba Tribe. The authors assess the ecological, social, and political changes affecting the region, and provide one of the first studies to integrate contemporary development initiatives with long-run interventions. Drawing on their extensive research experience in Africa, Henrietta L. Moore and Megan Vaughan have produced a detailed examination of the changing nature of gender relations and household production. They also draw on recent theoretical developments in anthropology and cultural history to explore the construction of colonial and postcolonial identities in the region. Cutting Down Trees is about local responses to global processes of change. It will be of special interest to anthropologists, historians, and social scientists, as well as those in the fields of development studies, economics, and environmental management.

Science is everywhere, in everything we do, see, and read. Books--all books--offer possibilities for talk about science in the illustrations and text once you know how to look for them.

Trauma and adversity are increasingly common experiences for students and educators, with growing poverty, income inequality, social injustice, institutional inequity, and the global pandemic worsening the situation. Now more children are attending school while experiencing significant chronic and acute stressors. What can educators do to support students, help them learn, and ensure they reach their full potential? Trauma-informed schools are lauded as one way to address this challenge, but trauma-informed pedagogy can be hard to define and, consequently, difficult for teachers and schools to implement. Trauma-Responsive Pedagogy explores the research and practices around trauma-informed education in an easy-to-digest, actionable text that elevates the healing and wellness of both the children and the adults in our classrooms. It describes the challenges of a classroom that does not attend to adversity and trauma, then presents the research on trauma-responsive classrooms, and finally provides an inclusive framework that supports educators in centering the whole child in their classrooms--offering a recipe for what to do next period, next week, and next school year. Pedagogy that is trauma-responsive invites us to heal alongside our students while explicitly elevating evidence-informed teaching methods and practices and facilitating the necessary inner work to bring our whole being to the profession in healthy ways. Our students' challenges are not a deterrent to their learning. Together, we can turn wounds into wisdom.

"A friendly guide to using interactive writing to support beginning writers"--

Have you ever thought about what literacy might look like outside of the classroom? It's everywhere! Think about it: the first word a young child may learn to read is STOP, and playing with chalk on a driveway or sidewalk is often a child's first experience with drawing and writing. What if we take reading and writing out of the classroom and see how it is used, authentically, in the real world? Why is outdoor learning important? There are many proven benefits to nature-based education! Research shows that it can boost academic performance as well as supporting physical, mental, and emotional health. When you provide outdoor and indoor learning experiences, students can expand their knowledge and apply concepts to the real world. Inviting students to connect with nature offers them a chance to use their senses to explore, and they are often more engaged and able to focus better. And let's not forget the benefits of getting kids outside and moving around during the school day! How do you get started teaching literacy outdoors? Literacy Moves Outdoors provides the rationale, resources, and information to help you get started, all organized to help maximize learning and connect what you do outside to what you teach inside. Each chapter takes a deep dive into a specific approach to literacy that you can move outdoors, including Literacy to Go, Word Gardens, StoryWalks(R), Interpretive Signage, and Literacy Trails. Discover practical strategies and experiences for supporting literacy development outside of the traditional classroom environment, as well as varied entry points, logistics for implementation, literacy connections, resources, and relevant book lists.Outdoors can mean a variety of things--a blacktop playground, a small park, sidewalks, or perhaps a patch of woods--and your school setting will shape how you approach outdoor learning. Literacy Moves Outdoors offers suggestions to adapt to just about any environment, including indoor hallways and communal spaces when you just can't get outside. You will also find some beginning guidelines related to universal design, including efforts to make learning experiences accessible to all students, enabling them to be independent and participate in a variety of ways while helping you consider space, safety, and strategies to support a wide range of literacy and language skills. Explore and adopt practices that engage students, meet their interests and needs, and give them the tools to communicate and discover themselves and the world around them. Pick one thing that will work for you, and start moving literacy outdoors!

"In The Literacy Studio, the author reconsiders our most basic assumptions about the "traditional" reader's and writer's workshop approach and structure. The author proposes an alternative workshop structure, one teachers can adjust, amend, tinker with. A literacy block that is flexible enough to allow teachers to be directly responsive to your kids' needs. She addresses planning, scheduling, conferring, differentiating, record keeping, and reflecting so that students can build their knowledge of reading by writing and vice versa. She discusses how to maximize students' choice in how they spend their time and engagement as independent readers and writers. The Literacy Studio takes teachers and children beyond the workshop structures that we've used for many years by maximizing time for active learning because reading and writing instruction is integrated"--
