Leveling Math Workstations In Grades K-2 : strategies for differentiated practice /

Newton, Nicki,


Introduction -- A deeper dive into the framework -- Keeping students accountable -- Counting workstations -- Number workstations -- Place value workstations -- Fluency workstations -- Word problem workstations -- Action planning. In this book from bestselling author Dr. Nicki Newton, you’ll learn how to level math workstations to engage K–2 students in meaningful, purposeful, rigorous practice. We know students don’t learn at the same pace, so how do we take into account where they are and differentiate instruction? Dr. Nicki has the answers, showing how leveled workstations are key in the formative years, how they help students operate in their zone of proximal development and how we can use them to help students progress to higher levels of math achievement. Topics include: Understanding the framework for leveled workstations Making sure workstations are rigorous and not just providing busy work Building your stations in key areas such as counting, numbers, place value, fluency and word problems Keeping students accountable, and knowing where they are in their learning trajectory Each chapter offers specific examples, activities and tools. There is also a clear, step-by-step action plan to help you implement the ideas immediately in your own classroom.

Grit : The Power of Passion and Perserverance /

Duckworth, Angela,


"In this must-read book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, athletes, students, and businesspeople--both seasoned and new--the secret to outstanding achievement. Drawing on her own powerful story as the daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of 'genius,' Duckworth, now a celebrated researcher and professor, describes her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience, which led to the hypothesis that what really drives success is not 'genius' or talent. Rather, it is a special blend of passion and persistence she call 'grit.' In 'Grit,' she takes readers into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she's learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers."--Page 4 of cover.

Fahrenheit 451

Bradbury, Ray


Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning ... along with the houses in which they were hidden. Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames... never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid. Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think... and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do! RL10.8.
