For math, science, English language arts and social studies teachers, this book provides the guidance and tools to start integrating coding into classes to complement and strengthen existing instruction. Access to high-quality computer science instruction has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. Thanks to this movement, more students start middle school with some foundational knowledge of computer science and coding. This new set of creative skills empowers students to express themselves in powerful ways, but students still need opportunities and support to develop and hone those skills. Creative Coding provides the resources teachers need to help their students do just that.This book also includes: * Lessons and projects to help students apply computational thinking and coding skills in core academic classes. * Examples from classroom teachers in different content areas to support student learning. This book helps classroom teachers in several core content areas develop activities and projects to encourage computational thinking and coding skills, and to build bridges between those skills and practice. Audience: 6-8 educators

As a secondary mathematics teacher, you know that students are different and learn differently. And yet, when students enter your classroom, you somehow must teach these unique individuals deep mathematics content using rigorous standards. The curriculum is vast and the stakes are high. Is differentiation really the answer? How can you make it work? Nationally recognized math differentiation expert Nanci Smith debunks the myths, revealing what differentiation is and isn't. In this engaging book Smith reveals a practical approach to teaching for real learning differences. You'll gain insights into an achievable, daily differentiation process for ALL students. Theory-lite and practice-heavy, this book shows how to maintain order and sanity while helping your students know, understand, and even enjoy doing mathematics. Classroom videos, teacher vignettes, ready-to-go lesson ideas and rich mathematics examples help you build a manageable framework of engaging, sense-making math. Busy secondary mathematics teachers, coaches, and teacher teams will learn to • Provide practical structures for assessing how each of your students learns and processes mathematics concepts • Design, implement, manage, and formatively assess and respond to learning in a differentiated classroom • Plan specific, standards-aligned differentiated lessons, activities, and assessments • Adjust current instructional materials and program resources to better meet students' needs This book includes classroom videos, in-depth student work samples, student surveys, templates, before-and-after lesson demonstrations, examples of 5-day sequenced lessons, and a robust companion website with downloadables of all the tools in the books plus other resources for further planning. Every Math Learner, Grades 6-12 will help you know and understand your students as learners for daily differentiation that accelerates their mathematics comprehension. "This book is an excellent resource for teachers and administrators alike. It clearly explains key tenants of effective differentiation and through an interactive approach offers numerous practical examples of secondary mathematics differentiation. This book is a must read for any educator looking to reach all students." -Brad Weinhold, Ed.D., Assistant Principal, Overland High School.
