DOWNLOAD EBOOKTeaching during the Jurassic: Wit and Wisdom from an Old Hippie Teacher is a memoir in the vein of Bill Bryson's A Walk in the Woods. Instead of the Appalachian Trail, we follow all the twists and turns of Martin Settle's teaching career from his first approach to teaching as a hippie subversive to his eventual triumph as a self-actualized person. Part memoir, part teaching guide, this book charts the "Jurassic" period of teaching - no personal computers, no cell phones, no internet, and the introduction of new social movements in the classroom (women's rights, civil rights, and gay rights). Settle addresses some of the universals of the profession - how to deal with administrators, behavioral problems in the classroom, the outsider student, the psychologically dangerous student, and more. "Perfect for the reader who is an aspiring, current or retired educator, the book is also a must read for those who enjoy exploring the intersection between all domains of knowledge and long for hopeful possibilities for the future." - Robert Corbin, PhD, Educational Consultant, International, Discovery Education "In a year that's shown us just how essential good teachers are, Martin Settle's book Teaching During the Jurassic will leave you with a newfound respect for this noble profession." -Taylor Bowler, lifestyle editor at Charlotte magazine "There is wisdom in this book about not only enduring the teaching experience but prevailing as a self-actualized person. This memoir is a must read for all in the education profession." -Jackie Fishman, National Teacher Leadership Team, Facing History and Ourselves

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy you need a writing revolution in your classroom and how to lead it The Writing Revolution (TWR) provides a clear method of instruction that you can use no matter what subject or grade level you teach. The model, also known as The Hochman Method, has demonstrated, over and over, that it can turn weak writers into strong communicators by focusing on specific techniques that match their needs and by providing them with targeted feedback. Insurmountable as the challenges faced by many students may seem, The Writing Revolution can make a dramatic difference. And the method does more than improve writing skills. It also helps: Boost reading comprehension Improve organizational and study skills Enhance speaking abilities Develop analytical capabilities The Writing Revolution is as much a method of teaching content as it is a method of teaching writing. There's no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt the TWR strategies and activities to their current curriculum and weave them into their content instruction. But perhaps what's most revolutionary about the TWR method is that it takes the mystery out of learning to write well. It breaks the writing process down into manageable chunks and then has students practice the chunks they need, repeatedly, while also learning content.
