Developing Creativity in the Classroom

Learning and Innovation for 21st-Century Schools

By: Todd Kettler,Kristen N. Lamb,Dianna R. Mullet

Developing Creativity in the Classroom applies the most current theory and research on creativity to support the design of teaching and learning. Creative thinking and problem solving are at the heart of learning and application as students prepare for innovation-driven careers. This text debunks myths about creativity and teaching and, instead, illustrates productive conceptions of creative thinking and innovation, including a constructivist learning approach in which creative thinking enhances and strengthens conceptual understanding of the curriculum. Through models of teaching that support creativity and problem solving, this book extends the idea of a creative pedagogy to the four core curriculum domains. Developing Creativity in the Classroom focuses on explanations and examples of how creative thinking and deep learning merge to support engaging learning environments, rising to the challenge of developing 21st-century competencies.

A Teacher's Guide to Using the Common Core State Standards With Gifted and Advanced Learners in the English/Language Arts

By: National Assoc For Gifted Children,Todd Kettler,Elizabeth Shaunessy-Dedrick

A Teacher's Guide to Using the Common Core State Standards With Gifted and Advanced Learners in the English/Language Arts provides teachers and administrators a blueprint for differentiating the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts for gifted and advanced students through the use of acceleration, depth, complexity, and creativity within and across grade levels. It illustrates the differences between learning experiences for typical and advanced students based on the same standard and provides an array of examples across five of the information text and literary text standards while integrating the other aspects of language arts teaching and learning. The book highlights implementation features, such as classroom management and assessment of student work, that allow teachers to make data-based decisions about instruction for particular students. It also offers guidance to teachers on reading selections for advanced learners at all grade levels.

Personalized Learning in Gifted Education

Differentiated Instruction That Maximizes Students' Potential

By: Todd Kettler,Cheryl Taliaferro

Gifted students can exhibit extreme variance in both their abilities and their interests, yet they are often treated within schools as one homogeneous, specialized population. Personalized Learning in Gifted Education helps educators strengthen their differentiation of both instruction and services for advanced students. This book: • helps educators develop the specific gifts and talents of the gifted students they serve • demonstrates how educators can utilize the wealth of data they have at their disposal • provides a rationale and blueprint for a stronger, more personalized approach to gifted education • offers suggestions for both elementary and secondary schools. Recommendations center around five features of personalized learning: personalized learning plans, project- or problem- based learning, competency-based progression through the curriculum, criterion-referenced assessments, and multi-year mentoring.

Fully Human in Christ

The Incarnation as the End of Christian Ethics

Fully Human in Christ

The Incarnation as the End of Christian Ethics

By: Todd Speidell

Thomas F. Torrance's theology included a thoroughgoing, albeit implicit, ethic of reconciliation. It focused on the personalizing and humanizing mediation of Christ in all realms of life--including not only a supposed private dimension of human life but also the social, historical, and political structures of human society and even of the cosmos itself. This book builds upon that vision of a Christian ethic radically rooted in God's grace, which encompasses, sustains, and transforms the entire human and created order. A trinitarian-incarnational social ethic does not begin with our human causes, projects, and agendas, however noble they might be, but with witness to the reconciling person and work of Jesus Christ for us.

From Conduct to Character, 4th Edition

A Primer in Ethical Theory

By: Todd H. Speidell

From Conduct to Character should be a wonderful teaching tool, especially for beginning ethics students. The case studies used in this book do not merely encourage students to make up their own minds. Rather, they draw students into a deeper consideration of their character and of the communities that make their character possible. Stanley Hauerwas, Gilbert T. Rowe Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina Ethical theory and contemporary ethical crises find a unique marriage in this very useful introduction to ethics by Todd Speidell. Brief enough to use for an introductory ethics course, Speidell's book uses intriguing case studies to flesh out the perennial challenges of both classical and contemporary ethical theories. Never has an introductory ethics text included so much in a slim, affordable volume. Christian D. Kettler, Prof. of Theology and Philosophy, Friends University, Wichita, Kansas From Conduct to Character is a concise and articulate introduction to ethical decision-making from the perspective of key ethical traditions. First and foremost, this is a teaching text, written to provide structure and meaning to conversations about difficult moral choices. It is also an insightful guide and starting point for addressing questions of values, virtue, and moral obligation. Keith A. Evans, Head of School, Collegiate School, Richmond, Virginia

Abandoned

The Story of the Greely Arctic Expedition, 1881-1884

By: A. L. Todd

Alden L. Todd’s Abandoned has been called “A model account of perhaps the most ill-fated and certainly the most grimly fascinating episode in the annals of Arctic exploration....” Working extensively with primary sources—official correspondence, diaries, letters, notes by the expedition’s participants and those left at home and in the nation’s capital—Alden Todd presents an evenhanded, elegantly written account of the greatest tragedy in the history of American arctic exploration: the Greely expedition of 1881-1884. Launched as part of the United States’ participation in the first International Polar Year, the expedition sent twenty-five volunteers to what is now Ellesmere Island in the Canadian High Arctic, off the northwest coast of Greenland, commanded by Adolphus Washington Greely, a thirty-seven-year-old lieutenant in the U.S. Army’s Signal Corps. The ship sent to resupply them in the summer of 1882 was forced to turn back before reaching the station, and the men were left to endure short rations and unbroken isolation at their icy base. When the second relief ship, sent in 1883, was crushed in the ice, Greely led his men south, following a prearranged plan. The crew spent a third and increasingly more wretched winter camped at Cape Sabine. Supplies ran out, the hunting failed, and men began to die of starvation. Abandoned is a gripping account of men battling for survival as they are pitted against the elements and each other. It is also the most complete and authentic account of the controversial Greely Expedition ever published, an exemplar of the best in chronicles of polar exploration.

Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic, 2nd Edition

Acknowledging the Mystery and Manner of God

By: Todd H. Speidell

Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic is therapeutic in the best sense: it rehabilitates bad theological vision! Dr. Speidell's little text takes a major step in helping us overcome the narcissism that burdens contemporary religious life and theology. I plan to give this book to seminarians beginning their education and to church leaders engaged in educating laity. Both groups will greatly benefit from Speidell's wisdom. Willie James Jennings, Academic Dean Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina Exploring literature, film, case study material, and philosophical and religious texts, Confessions of a Lapsed Skeptic makes the fundamental questions of humanity's relationship to God accessible to skeptics and believers alike. Todd Speidell's approach is refreshing and authentic, challenging both the heart and the intellect to probe beyond simple answers to the mystery of faith. Confessions is a rich source of stimulating ideas, perfectly suited for both the seminar and the nightstand. Keith A. Evans, Head of School Collegiate School, Richmond, Virginia Confessions Of a Lapsed Skeptic provides thought-provoking reading, even for a confessed skeptic like myself, about the human struggle for an understanding of the nature of God. By using case studies from wide-ranging sources, such as Woody Allen and C. S. Lewis, Todd Speidell manages to make this difficult and potentially abstract topic very concrete and relevant. You cannot read this book without all the time feeling wonderfully engaged in virtual discussions with the author about the wisdom that can be deduced from the case studies. Confessions deserves to be read and discussed by everybody trying to understand their position on the Big Questions in life. Soren P. Sorensen, Professor and Head Department of Physics, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee Using a Kierkegaardian scalpel to expose the passion of the faith that underlies skepticism and Woody Allen's perceptive humor to reveal the irony of belief in an underachieving God, Todd Speidell depicts the plausibility of a faith that, although unprovable, remains compellingly true. 'The human heart can go the lengths of God, ' writes the English playwright Christopher Fry. 'Affairs are now soul-size. The enterprise is exploration into God.' This little book is 'soul-size.' It sketches the contours of the human quest for God by using the artist's palette of philosophy, literature and theology with creative insight and lucid prose. Ray S. Anderson, Prof. of Theology and Ministry Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, Californi

Examiner's Manual

By: Gail R. Ryser,Kathleen McConnell,Laila Y. Sanguras

Scales for Identifying Gifted Students,ÄîSecond Edition (SIGS-2) is an observational instrument available for identifying gifted students ages 5 through 13. The "SIGS-2" consists of two rating scales (a Home Rating Scale and a School Rating Scale) that can be used together or independently. The "SIGS-2" is composed of seven scales: (1) general intellectual ability, (2) language arts, (3) mathematics, (4) science, (5) social studies, (6) creativity, and (7) leadership. Each scale contains 10 items that are rated using a Likert-type scale. The items were chosen from a thorough review of the research concerning the characteristics of gifted students. Because the "SIGS-2" offers the most advanced statistical support of any observational identification instrument in the field, it should be a part of every school's comprehensive approach to identifying gifted children. This manual contains specific instructions for using the "SIGS-2.
