| Teaching students research strategies has always been challenging. With the expansion of information sources via the Internet, it has become even more critical to teach students viable research methods. Students need to know not only how to find the information, but also how to choose the best sources, organize the information, and synthesize what they learn into a product such as a report or project. Using the Internet, a video and some periodical articles you will be exploring the two models to see which emphasis best meets your need and the needs of your students. |

Notes: Karen Lea is the course author. |
| Includes the newest research, links to current learning standards, and a variety of multicultural stories and resources that have validated the importance of storytelling in education. Literacy is more effectively taught when the language arts, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing, and visually representing, are seen as connected and equally important. Storytelling is one of the best ways to teach all of these literacy skills. When children engage in stories, they gain command over language and increase their ability to understand detail and how stories hang together. If students are better at telling stories, they become better at writing and reading them. |

| Helps K-12 educators understand why it is both unfair and simplistic to generalize about what all boys need to learn better. Insights available from a wealth of current research tell us, in fact, that not all boys struggle, and that those who struggle do so for a variety of complex reasons. Thus, rather than seeking a one-size-fits-all-boys solution, this course focuses instead on a multifaceted approach for clarifying who these underachieving boys are, why they struggle, and how we can respond to their needs. |

| Differentiated instruction offers students and teachers responsive instruction-instruction that responds to students' needs. With increasing numbers of English Language learners, an expanding achievement gap for minority students, more inclusive classrooms, and public pressure to adequately prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century, knowing who students are-and how best to teach them-has become a critical issue for educators. If students are to master content, building relationships is essential. |

| This course utilizes cutting-edge neuroscience research to guide teaching. The first third of the book describes neuroscience, brain anatomy, and physiology. The middle part of the book discusses how the brain, encodes, manipulates and stores information. This information-processing model provides a first look at implications of research for practice-why meaning is essential for attention, how emotion can enhance or impede learning, and how different types of rehearsal are necessary for different types of learning, practical classroom applications and brain-compatible teaching strategies. The last third shows how to use simulations, projects, problem-based learning, graphic organizers, music, rhyme and rhythm, writing, active engagement, and mnemonics. Each chapter provides examples using brief scenarios from actual classroom practice, from the lower elementary grades to high school. |

| This course explains why some boys struggle in school, and how educators can effectively intervene without jeopardizing the achievement of other, more successful learners of both genders. Drawing from large-scale studies, contemporary insights on social and learning-style factors, lesson plans, and anecdotes from real teachers, the course equips educators with a flexible and practical framework for addressing the needs of struggling male students. The course focuses on the following: replacing underachieving boys' negative attitudes about learning; reconnecting boys to school, learning, and believing in being a competent learner; rebuilding learning skills that lead to success in school and in life; and reducing the need for unproductive and distracting behaviors as a means of self-protection. The author provides solutions that focus on academic success, contribute to positive school experience, enhance competence and persistence, and arranging the classroom to enhance success. |

| Substitute teaching is challenging. To be effective, an individual must have a special skill set and a passion for teaching. A successful substitute teacher understands that all students deserve good teaching regardless of whether their permanent teacher is present. This course investigates topics that go beyond the basics, including classroom management, teaching strategies, and suggested accomodations for special-needs students. These skills include: learning the difference between reactive and proactive discipline strategies; investigating instructional strategies, and identifying cognitive, affective, and organizational accommodations. |
