Learn how to enact curricular, pedagogical, and policy shifts that nourish students' linguistic repertoires, redefine teaching and learning as reciprocal endeavors, promote student-to-student interactions that help newcomers feel less isolated, and create opportunities for students to experiment with language in both academic and informal settings. Drawing on their experience working with hundreds of educators and thousands of students in linguistically diverse school settings (grades 7-12), the authors challenge readers to engage in critical, collective action as they transform their approach to languaging, agency, and authority in the classroom. Ideas and strategies come alive through classroom vignettes, student stories, and samples of student poetry, prose, and art--as well as examples of linguistically affirming approaches to online teaching. The book is an enlightening professional conversation that represents the importance and impact of multicultural and culturally responsive education that ultimately leads to linguistically inclusive education for newcomers and other language learners. Book Features: Draws from classroom-based research in linguistically diverse school districts in Southern California that use an arts-based, multiliteracy enrichment program designed for newcomer and emergent bilingual students. Examines the ideological, curricular, pedagogical, and political factors that shape the daily experiences of students who are new to the United States and in the process of incorporating English into their linguistic repertoires. Shows examples of how educators create classrooms where newcomer and emergent bilingual students' identities, languaging, and humanity are invited, affirmed, and amplified. Features the voices of students who courageously explore their identities, experiment with their voices, and share their vision of what a radically inclusive community can be.

Literacy is the foundation for all learning and must be accessible to all students. This fundamental truth is where Kimberly Parker begins to explore how culturally relevant teaching can help students work toward justice. Her goal is to make the literacy classroom a place where students can safely talk about key issues, move to dismantle inequities, and collaborate with one another. Introducing diverse texts is an essential part of the journey, but teachers must also be equipped with culturally relevant pedagogy to improve literacy instruction for all.In Literacy Is Liberation, Parker gives teachers the tools to build culturally relevant intentional literacy communities (CRILCs) with students. Through CRILCs, teachers can better shape their literacy instruction by* Reflecting on the connections between behaviors, beliefs, and racial identity. * Identifying the characteristics of culturally relevant literacy instruction and grounding their practice within a strengths-based framework. * Curating a culturally inclusive library of core texts, choice reading, and personal reading, and teaching inclusive texts with confidence. * Developing strategies to respond to roadblocks for students, administrators, and teachers. * Building curriculum that can foster critical conversations between students about difficult subjects--including race.In a culturally relevant classroom, it is important for students and teachers to get to know one another, be vulnerable, heal, and do the hard work to help everyone become a literacy high achiever. Through the practices in this book, teachers can create the more inclusive, representative, and equitable classroom environment that all students deserve. Author: Kimberly N.

Transformative Leadership: A Primer both delivers a complete and engaging overview of transformative leadership and also clearly distinguishes it from other popular approaches to leadership. Hence, this will be the text of choice for many graduate courses in educational leadership. Carolyn M. Shields shows how the tenets of transformative leadership interact with one another, and how they provide a lens for leadership that offers an excellent, inclusive, equitable, and socially just education for all students. Using anecdotes and narratives drawn from empirical research, as well as current data, Dr. Shields establishes how transformative leadership comprises a comprehensive approach to leadership in highly diverse contexts, and how it can empower students who are traditionally marginalized due to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, home language, or religion. Accepting a mandate for educational change, reconstructing knowledge frameworks, and redistributing power in more equitable ways are starting points for transformative leaders. Changing the structures, cultures, curricula, and pedagogies of the school to be more democratic and emancipatory; acknowledging our interconnectedness and interdependence with global neighbors; and accepting responsibility for promoting both public and private good are processes that implement the transformation. Taken together, these changes cannot be accomplished without considerable collaboration, conversation, and moral courage. No leader wanting to promote excellence and equity for all should be without this primer that offers a new way of thinking about all aspects of schooling, from facilities and fiscal issues to academic programs and school policy. Transformative leadership offers a promising and robust theory of change for all situations and contexts.

These short vowel CVC decodable readers are a kid-tested, teacher-approved way to systematically introduce reading to your students based on the science of reading. With the short vowel CVC decodable readers, including word mapping and independent work, students have multiple opportunities to practice specific phonics skills, building upon those they have already learned. These Short Vowels Science of Reading Decodable Booklets & Readers are great for improving reading comprehension in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade students! These booklets/readers can be used in place of reading passages! Do your students struggle to read words with short vowel CVC words? Is word mapping a challenge? Do you find yourself with decodable readers that are less science of reading and more predictable text? Are your decodable readers lacking a story?  Do they use words/patterns your students haven’t learned yet, making it more challenging for your students than it needs to be? Are you unsure of how to incorporate science of reading principles into your classroom? Wondering about how a science of reading-aligned small group looks? Do you find yourself needing more reading and skill practice for your students? Do you want your students to see themselves in their classroom materials, regardless of who they are? Let us prep your small groups for you - and give you an easy-to-follow, simply-explained, diverse and inclusive, complete set for science of reading-aligned small groups and independent work! Unlike some of those other decodable readers, ours only use words that fit the skills that have been introduced in our scope and sequence so far. We use high-frequency words that fit the phonics skill (or previous skills) and minimize those “tricky” words. Our decodable readers offer an actual storyline to practice fluency right alongside the decoding practice and three levels of comprehension questions to meet your readers, no matter where they’re at. And for your older students who struggle with phonics? Our stories are high-interest, but easier readability for those students who need it. We’ve even included a set of higher-level thinking questions for those students who don’t need the extra reminder that they’re below level. Perfect for primary teachers, our decodable readers provide you with everything you need to teach small groups and extend the learning into centers with independent work and word mapping activities. Each phonics skill comes with two readers, one set of word cards, one word mapping mat, and one no prep independent skill practice worksheet. Not only that, but we’ve included an easy to follow routine that fits every book - with a four-step phonological awareness warm-up, a set of decodable and high frequency words to map prior to reading, and a 7-page reader.  Follow that with the at-their-level comprehension page of your choice (select one of three) to ensure that your students are thinking about the story while they are reading and you have a complete small group lesson plan - at your fingertips. And don’t even worry about your literacy centers - once your students understand word mapping, they can do this as a buddy center with the included mapping mats and word cards that follow each phonics skill.  Introduce the repeated independent activities that will spiral throughout the larger series and your students will have another engaging, easy-to-use, no prep activity for literacy centers. What’s Included? 11 Short Vowel Fiction Decodable Readers - 7-page stories Short Aa - Sam and Dad, Dan and the Cat Short Ii - The Big Rig, Pip and the Kid Short Oo - Dot on a Log, Tom the Dog Short Uu - Gus and the Hut, The Fun Run Short Ee - The Red Hen, The Ten Pets Review - The Dog and the Pup Phonics routine for your small group instruction Comprehension Check (3 levels of difficulty, 1 additional page of book) Phonological Awareness Activities (1 additional page of book) Word Mapping Mats Word Mapping Cards - 1 set of 8 cards per phonics skill No-Prep Independent Work - 1 activity per phonics skill, each skill has a different style of activity including word sorts, mazes, I Spy, substitution and replacement, roll and read, cut and paste, word mapping, secret code words, word ladders, and more! Phonics Scope and Sequence Teachers like you said… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These decodables are a definite must-have! It's like having a complete lesson within one little booklet. The font is easy to read with plenty of room on the edge for staples. My favorite component is the phonological awareness page. I can choose to use it at the beginning of the lesson or at the end. These decodables fit perfectly into my small group routine.” This will be part of a year-long series. Other phonics skills will include, but are not limited to: Beginning and Ending Blends Double Consonants Digraphs (Includes Nasals) CVCe & Open Syllables Hard/Soft C&G Word Endings (sounds of -ed, -es, -ing) Vowel Teams R-Controlled Vowels Diphthongs & Other Vowels Schwa & Silent Letters Like this resource?
