    POWER OF 2, THE (THIRD EDITION)

    The third edition of the Power of 2 preserves the fundamental concepts, the classic six classroom approaches-that still have validity after two decades of scrutiny-while at the same time updating the examples that reflect co-teaching's evolution, such as, an examination of services provided by teachers of students who are English language learners.

    Updates to the third edition include in-depth understanding of how to provide specialized education services by utilizing the skills of both general education and special education (or other specialized) personnel in the general education classroom. Featured teachers discuss how they use data to specially design instruction, plus we focus attention on co-teacher's roles in the provision of specially designed instruction for students with disabilities. Featured teachers also discuss in detail how they use data to group students, design instruction, and monitor progress.

    The Power of 2 will assist educators-early career teachers as well as those with many years of experience-to collaborate and share their knowledge and skills in order to ensure students maximize their potential.

    REFLECTIVE EDUCATOR, THE: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO BUILDING TEACHERS' CAPACITY

    The Reflective Educator: A Collaborative Approach DVD profiles teachers working with administrators and coaches to take charge of their professional growth and move along the path to excellence by becoming reflective practitioners.

    Capacity building is the focus of Pete Hall and Alisa Simeral's work, and their strategies are becoming the model for instructional coaching in schools across the country.

    This video takes an in-depth look at a school where three teachers are taking steps to grow as reflective practitioners with the help of Hall and Simeral's strategies. We see them working in partnership with their administrator and instructional coach to make use of Hall and Simeral's Reflective Cycle and the Continuum of Self-Reflection tools. Each teacher is at a different stage on the Continuum and by observing their practice, we'll learn about the specific strategies for growth that each stage calls for.

    We'll also observe the key role administrators and coaches play in building teachers' capacity for success. We'll see them identifying and nurturing their teachers' strengths to help them reach new levels of professional success and satisfaction.

    The Reflective Educator: A Collaborative Approach shows that teachers are a school's most essential strength. As their capacity for success increases, so does their ability to positively affect the students they guide.

    CREDIT RECOVERY: RE-ENGAGING STUDENTS TO GRADUATE

    By Leonard Burrello

    More and more students need to make up credits to stay on course toward graduation. The failure to accumulate the credits, especially early in one's academic career, provides the best picture of a potential dropout. And we all know what lacking a high school diploma means in terms of job opportunities and earning power. We found a credit recovery program at Crown Point High School in Indiana that goes beyond the obvious. Here the program is also about redemption. Such programs offer a second chance for the school - and its teachers - to re-engage students who have lost their bond with their classmates, coursework, and mentors, but most importantly, their own future. This program is about discipline. It's about character. It's about persistence. And it's about directing students down a path toward post-school success. Forum director Leonard Burrello spent a day with CRL director Jonathan Haas discussing Crown Point's program philosophy and student orientation process. With a rock solid, technology-driven virtual curriculum covering five subject areas, Haas describes how the CRL carries out its mission from interventions and the referral process, to data collection and student monitoring and counseling. And Haas reviews the software applications that allow CRL programs to flourish.

    CHRONIC BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS

    By Dave Stott

    This Chronic Behaviour Problems DVD demonstrates how to:

  • Reduce incidents of chronic misbehaviour in the classroom
  • Encourage students to make good decisions about behaviour and return to "on task" behaviour
  • De-escalate, rather than escalate, the situation
  • Demonstrate a hierarchy of intervention.

  • The DVD starts by identifying chronic behaviour problems, those constantly re-occurring problems that are difficult to stop and wear you down as a teacher, challenging your professionalism. Such problems include fidgeting and lack of attention (disruptive and non-disruptive), agitated movement, rudeness, not bringing the right equipment, wearing the wrong uniform, calling out, leaving their seat, interrupting the learning of others by chatting or making physical contact and refusal to comply with clear instructions.

    The DVD then continues by exploring a hierarchy of teacher responses - to use the least intrusive intervention in the shortest time. These responses include the look, secret signal, physical proximity (move in/move out) praise proximity, hurdle help, warnings, comply time, antiseptic bouncing, self-calming, timed reminders, rewards and consequences.

    Dave also gives the teacher personal tips on being a positive person and explains how that will consequently then get a more positive result from the students. Such tips include positive body language, eye contact, sincerity, voice matching and intonation, verbal language, response style and empathy.

    The DVD continues with looking at a problem-solving model and coming up with five different solutions then testing those solutions as to whether in a classroom situation they work, are safe, feel good and are fair.

    Next Dave explores the benefits of one-to-one meetings: meeting the student and describing the problem and working with them to find a way forward.

    Then finally the DVD concludes with a question and answer session with teachers in the audience, giving them suggested strategies for their own personal experiences of chronic behaviour problems.
