Saxon Math 65 Student Edition Grade 5 by Stephen Hake and John Saxon

The pedagogy used in Saxon Math is unique, effective, and research based. The authors of the Saxon Math series, John Saxon and Stephen Hake, recognized that smaller pieces of information are both easier to deliver and easier to learn.


Rather than grouping topics into chapters, they separated complex concepts into increments and distributed them throughout each grade level. The result is a distributed approach in which instruction, practice, and assessment of concepts recur continually over the course of the program. Foundational research has shown that the distributed approach produces significantly higher levels of student learning than massed presentation.


Saxon Math is the only major mathematics program on the market today that systematically distributes instruction and practice and assessment throughout the year, ensuring that students gain and retain critical math skills.

Redefining Teacher Development by Jonathan Neufeld -Teachers Teaching and Learning

Has any occupational group been the subject of as much research as elementary or primary school teachers? Written by a former elementary school teacher, this intensive study considers how the foundations of the ongoing teacher reform movement have appealed to researchers through its successive stages.


By tracing these ideas back to their historical roots, Jonathan Neufeld illustrates how they actually descend from the physical and biological sciences rather than from student/teacher relationships.


Neufeld’s in-depth analysis of economic trends during the 20th century shows how economic and educational reforms are closely related. He demonstrates how the century-long movement to develop teachers became obsessed with turning them into soldiers of a failing economy.

OXFORD Young Learners by Sarah Phillips

Young Learners is based on the principle that primary teachers of English have a much wider responsibility than the simple teaching of the language system. The English class is not only a place where children learn English; it also forms part of their whole education.
 
 
 
This book provides teachers with a rich source of ideas for English lessons. It contains ideas and materials for activities such as making posters, books, and cards, making and playing with board games and puppets, as well as drama, songs, and stories. It includes helpful hints for teachers new to young learners, for instance on the use of English in the classroom, and feedback from learners.

Lectures on Language As Particularly Connected with English Grammar by W M S Balch

Designed for the use of teachers and advanced learners by William Stevens Balch (1806-1887)
He does not pretend to give a system of exposition in this work suited to the capacities of small children.
 
 
It is designed for advanced scholars, and is introductory to a system of grammar which he has in preparation, which it is humbly hoped will be of some service in rendering easy and correct the study of our vernacular language.
 
 
But this book, it is thought, may be successfully employed in the instruction of the higher classes in our schools, and will be found an efficient aid to teachers in inculcating the sublime principles of which it treats.

LECTURE I. GENERAL VIEW OF LANGUAGE.
LECTURE II. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF LANGUAGE.
LECTURE III. WRITTEN AND SPOKEN LANGUAGE.
LECTURE IV. ON NOUNS.

How Languages Are Learned by Lightbrown and Spada - Oxford Handbooks for Language Teachers

From the back cover: "This book provides a comprehensive and readable introduction to first and second language acquisition. By understanding how languages are learned, teachers will be better able to judge the merits of different teaching methodologies and textbooks, and to make the most of the time they spend with learners.
 
 
The book presents the main theories of language acquisition, and considers the implications of these for language teaching. It discusses the effects of factors such as intelligence, personality, and age on language learning. The authors present the results of recent research in an accessible way, and discuss the implications for classroom practice.

Handbook of Trust Research by Reinhard Bachmann

In recent times, research on trust has become a major field in the domain of management and in the social sciences as a whole. 
 
 
The Handbook of Trust Research presents a timely and comprehensive account of the most important work undertaken in this lively and emerging field over the past ten to fifteen years. Presenting a broad range of approaches to issues on trust, the Handbook features 22 articles from a variety of disciplines on the study of trust in both organizational and societal contexts.
 
 
With contributions from some of the most eminent names in the field of trust research, this international collaboration is an imaginative and informative reference tool to aid research in this engaging area for years to come. 
 
 
The Handbook contributes to an area of key importance to almost every aspect of business and society and, in particular, it will appeal to students and scholars of organization theory, strategy and organizational psychology.
