Bring out daring readers with dynamic small groups! Like many educators in intermediate classrooms across the country, you may be using guided reading principles to teach reading. Whether you’re following targeted reading levels or sticking with your school’s established routines, chances are that guided reading has become synonymous with small group reading for you and your students. But . . . are your students getting the most out of small groups? Are readers of all ability levels experiencing the dynamic learning that can occur in small groups? Do you feel confident that the way you’re grouping kids is based on their wants and needs? Intermediate grade readers don’t need to be guided as much as they need to be engaged—and authors Julie Wright and Barry Hoonan have solutions for doing just that using small groups. What Are You Grouping For? offers the practical tools, classroom examples, and actionable steps essential for starting, sustaining, and mastering the management of small groups. This book explains the five teacher moves that work together to support students’ reading independence through small group learning—kidwatching, pivoting, assessing, curating, and planning—and provides examples to guide you and your students toward success. From must-have beginning-of-the-year strategies to step-by-step advice for implementation, this guide breaks down the processes that support small groups and help create effective instructional reading programs. Based on more than 45 years of combined experience in the classroom, this resource will empower you with tools to ensure that your readers are doing the reading, thinking, and doing—not you.

All the tips, ideas and advice given to, and requested by, MA students in Media and Communications, are brought together in an easy-to-use accessible guide to help students study most effectively. Based upon many years of teaching study skills and hundreds of lecture slides and handouts this introduction covers a range of general and generic skills that the author relates specifically towards media and communications studies. As well as the mechanics of writing and presentations, the book also shows how students can work on and engage with the critical and contemplative elements of their degrees whilst retaining motivation and refining timekeeping skills. Of course the nuts and bolts of reading, writing, listening, seminars and the dreaded dissertation and essays are covered too. In addition advice on referencing, citation and academic style is offered for those with concerns over English grammar and expression. Aimed primarily at postgraduate students, there is significant crossover with undergraduate work, so this book will also prove of use to upper level undergraduate readers whether using English as a first or second language.

Step-by-Step instructions for organizing and running a small group "As a participant and facilitator of this study for 8 years, I can honestly say that there has not ever been a more meaningful study of God's word for me. The study has made the both the Old and New Testament more immediately relevant to me and has encouraged me to seek greater truth about myself. I am so thankful for this process and look forward to sharing this continued journey of discovery with my brothers in Christ!" Randy, 52 WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE? It's all right here. Download the book now and start impacting your Bible study TODAY! Here is what men who have been in the study say about the impact it has had on their lives: "This process has allowed me to be emotionally vulnerable and still maintain self-control, to trust other men, to be honest with myself and before God. I've had, and seen other men have, large positive changes in their self-image, which translates directly into stronger relationships here on earth and with Heaven. There is no question in my mind that this is a program worth your time and involvement." Dave, 58 "What I discovered as a result of being a part of this study changed my life. I will use the techniques I gained for the rest of my life. I would strongly encourage every man to participate in this process. This is something that I have shared with others in my life and it NEVER fails to bring clarity. As disciples of Christ, we are all undergoing the process of sanctification. Many of things we pursue, hoping to experience a change, leave us wanting. It delivers. I am a better man, my walk with Christ is stronger than ever and I am a part of a band of brothers who truly sharpen one another." Tony, 53 "This men's group provided a safe outlet to understand why I felt the way I did, and to intentionally separate the data, judgments, and feelings that influenced my life. I have prayed for Gods knowledge, the strength to handle life's trials, and the self-control to trust God's plan and timing. The answers I prayed for were right before me and I needed to see and accept them to become a better Christian, father, and husband. My relationships with God, my brothers in Christ, wife, and kids are stronger as a result of the work I brought to men's group and implemented in my daily life. I wish I had access to this information when I was younger." Mike, 39
