How can we help students develop the thinking skills they need to be successful learners? How does this relate to deep learning of important concepts? How can we engage and support diverse learners in inclusive classrooms where they develop understanding and thinking skills? In this book, Faye and Leyton explore these questions and offer classroom examples to help busy teachers develop communities where all students learn.

The Language Experience Approach to Literacy for Children Learning English (LEALE) grew out of the many happy hours that the author spent working with children and their teachers over the years. The instructional framework presented in this book is intended to help teachers provide all young children, but especially English-language learners, with rich, meaningful, and interactive literacy instruction. Included are pictures and examples of classroom materials (chart stories and journals) from children in Belize and in urban centres in Alberta, Canada.

New For Music Teachers

The Ultimate Music Theory series is now available.

by Glory St. Germain

For Grades 5-12

Author Glory St. Germain is dedicated to providing the best quality educational materials related to the study of music theory. The Ultimate Music Theory series brings music theory education to students, teachers, and schools. The series covers both core theory concepts outlined in the syllabi of recognized examination boards and provincial music curricula. It blends the pleasure of learning with sound instruction that raises the awareness and understanding of the role music plays in overall education and quality of life.

The Ultimate Music Theory series includes 5 workbooks and 5 Answer Books. Each book in the series is clearly written and organized, so classroom teachers with very little (or no) training in music are able to teach the program.
