Teaching Students With Learning Disabilities - A Step by Step Guide for Educators

Learning disabilities (LD) vary with each student, and teaching strategies for learners with LD must be responsive to individual differences.
 
 
Written in an easy-to-read format by experts in special education, this step-by-step guide presents a comprehensive look at learning disabilities, such as cognitive or memory deficits, social-emotional problems, and dyslexia, and discusses appropriate academic instruction, behavioral interventions, and classroom accommodations for learners with LD.
 
 
This resource also covers communicating with parents, the school's responsibilities in the special education process, and legal issues for educators and parents.


Teaching for Student Learning Becoming an Accomplished Teacher by Richard I Arends and Ann Kilcher

Teaching for Student Learning: Becoming an Accomplished Teacher shows teachers how to move from novice to expert status by integrating both research and the wisdom of practice into their teaching. It emphasizes how accomplished teachers gradually acquire and apply a broad repertoire of evidence-based teaching practices in the support of student learning.
 
 
 
The book’s content stems from three major fields of study:
1) theories and research on how people learn, including new insights from the cognitive and neurosciences;
2) research on classroom practices shown to have the greatest effect on student learning; and
3) research on effective schooling, defined as school-level factors that enhance student achievement and success. 
 


Teach Yourself - English Vocabulary

1-Teach Yourself - English Vocabulary

If you are learning English and want some extra help with vocabulary, this book is for you - it will give you the words you need to communicate with confidence. Each unit of the book starts with "Basics". Check that you know all these words. When you think you know the words, try "Test Your Basics".


Next is "Extension" - this will get you to learn more words and will help with problems such as difficult verbs before trying the exercises in the next section. Finally there is "Recap" which should help you check, remember and write down what you have done.


At the end of each unit you will find an answer key to check your work. There are British and American voices on the recordings, so you hear both British and American pronunciation, and the very few words which are different are listed in the book.

ROUTLEDGE The Pedagogy of Creativity by Anna Herbert

The Pedagogy of Creativity represents a groundbreaking study linking the pedagogy of classroom creativity with psychoanalytical theories.
 
 
Exploring the ideas of a number of psychological analysts including Jacques Lacan’s four discourses, concepts of ‘the other’ and the theories of Postructuralist thinkers including Levinas, Mead and Kristeva, Herbert explains how different theories can be used to develop creativity in the classroom and surmount obstacles preventing creative environments.
