How to Integrate the Curricula

By: Robin J. Fogarty,Brian M. Pete

This book should make educators stop and consider exactly what they mean when they discuss curriculum integration." —Julie Prescott, Assessment Coordinator Vallivue High School, Caldwell, ID "The biggest strength of Fogarty′s work is its clear, concise organization centered on the guiding questions of each chapter." —John C. Baker, Eighth-Grade Social Studies Teacher Salem Middle School, Apex, NC Strategies for moving students towards more holistic and authentic types of learning! For both students and teachers, the mission is essential: to connect ideas, discern themes, and thread skills of various content areas into a cohesive whole. Yet, the question remains: "What does integrating the curricula really mean?" The answers are provided in this updated resource that helps teachers create brain-compatible, learner-centered classrooms and better prepare students for lifelong learning. Based on a four-pronged rationale for using an integrated curriculum—including findings from brain-based research, parental concerns, practitioner challenges, and student perspectives—Robin Fogarty offers ten models that allow teams of teachers to work together to group elements from various content areas into a coherent curriculum that effectively meets standards. The discussion of each model includes: A description of the model How the model can be applied in the classroom Benefits and challenges of the model for teaching and learning Guidelines for when and how to implement the model in the classroom A wealth of reproducibles to aid implementation How to Integrate the Curricula offers the support educators need to integrate concepts, skills, and attitudes and immerse students in content through self-selected, personally relevant learning experiences.

From Staff Room to Classroom II

The One-Minute Professional Development Planner

By: Brian M. Pete,Robin J. Fogarty

Now, in their companion to From Staff Room to Classroom, they present 144 strategies for leading staff development workshops, professional learning communities, and staff meetings. These proven, easy-to-use activities are organized into four "morphological grids", with columns corresponding to the three principles for successful presentations: Openers, capture the audience's attention; Meat of the Matter, captivate with the information; Closers, close with keepers. Using different strategies from each column of a morphological grid, presenters can create a different presentation format every time.

The Road to Tuam

The Road to Tuam

By: Brian Fleming

For Glasgow-based Gordon O'Brien, attending the Irish Galway Festival was a chance to showcase his vast musical repertoire and revisit Tuam, the old village that had nurtured a long line of past O'Briens before him. The last thing on his mind, however, was that his visit would trigger the events that would see him finally uncover the answer to the eternal problem of human existence. With old band partner, Pete, and newfound friends, Mavis and Sadie, in tow, Gordon played his way through the old and new charms of Galway. Amid all these, the Irish Republicans cast an eye on the potential of a new recruit, while the ancient enemy, the Brits, wheel about biding their time to ensnare new foes. Who will get the upper hand? The Road to Tuam, by Brian Fleming, presents a lively take on deeply held spiritual tenets, blues and folk music, and the general effects of enduring bitter political conflict in the region.

The Hunt for Billy Jack

By: Brian Oeffner

Jim is an army veteran who has only been retired for six months when he receives a shocking call from Samuel Littlebear, the father of one of his former combat team members. Samuel’s son, Billy, is two weeks late returning from a Canadian fishing trip and he asks Jim’s help in finding him. Without the name of the camp ground or the lake where Billy might be fishing, Jim contacts seven former team members to assist with the monumental task of tracking down Billy somewhere within Canada’s thousands of miles of vast wilderness. Customs shows that Billy entered Canada, but never returned back into the United States. After Canadian officials fail to locate Billy or his vehicle, Jim and his team gather as much information as they can and leave for Canada. With instructions from Billy’s father to bring him home dead or alive, the men know their mission will be difficult. As they head north and pledge not to leave Canada until they find their military brother, none of the men have any idea they are about to uncover a dark plot that will change everything. In this gripping mystery, a retired elite army combat team travels into Canada to search for a former team member after he goes missing during a fishing trip.
