Book Description
A result of an investigative report by tenacious University of Oregon journalism students, Classroom 15 tells the story of how the dreams of fourth-grade students at the Riverside School, Roseburg, in rural Oregon timber country, were crushed by the prevailing Red Scare, McCarthyism, state and societal censorship, and J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. The teacher of Classroom 15, known fondly as Mr. McFetridge, assigned a pen pal project in an effort to take geography lessons outside of the classroom. Imagining a place as far from Oregon as they possibly could, the students wrote letters to nine- and ten-year-old counterparts in the Soviet Union. Janice Boyle, the class secretary, reached out to Oregon’s Congressional representative, Charles O. Porter, seeking assistance connecting with peers in Russia. Representative Porter forwarded the letter to the Secretary of State Christian Herter, and a week later the students received the shocking and disheartening news that their benign request had been needlessly denied. In the wake of McCarthyism, the Eisenhower administration subverted the assignment, fearing Communist propaganda would infect the innocent minds of eager Oregon schoolchildren. The students’ plight quickly gained national attention with stories running from the Roseburg News-Review to the New York Times. The publicity didn’t miss the attention of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. His agents investigated. They traveled to Roseburg, collected evidence, and took it back to the Bureau’s regional headquarters in Portland. The public reaction was swift and unrelenting. The teacher and the Congressman were attacked by outraged Roseburg citizens, the school board, and enraged Americans across the country. Classroom 15 is all the above and a page-turning adventure story told with the voices of the empowered, tenacious University of Oregon journalism students who took the nascent story and demonstrated their unwavering devotion to the journalistic process by telling the tale.

Book Description
Say goodbye to worrying about low engagement and ineffective learning: this guide has everything you need to level up your classroom management. Do you ever feel like you're not quite the teacher you dreamed you could be? Maybe you've experienced minimal engagement from your students during class, or you've been overwhelmed by low assessment scores. Perhaps you've experienced the awful sinking feeling of being unable to resolve a class conflict. Being a teacher, especially for the first time, can be a challenge. There's nothing easy about managing a group of young children who are all learning how to navigate their emotions and learn new things each day. Some educators, despite years of having worked in schools, still find difficulty in successfully managing their classes. In fact, the University of Phoenix has found that a total of 77% of teachers have reported feeling stressed, and 75% have reported feeling anxious. There are some that might just resort to thinking that "kids will always be kids," and opt to leave their classroom as it is for the sake of a quiet life. But what if you learned that it's possible to manage your classroom, ensure consistent learning, and create a positive environment? In Classroom Management for Elementary Teachers, here's a fraction of what you will discover: ● The preparations you can make from Day 1 -- to the practices you can implement until the end of the year-- to make learning fun ● What personality traits can help a teacher create a positive classroom environment (and how you can find yours) ● How you can link learning material to real-life lessons, and give students the motivation to keep learning ● Why communication matters inside a classroom setting (and how you can inspire your students to be more responsible about it) ● How you can introduce and enforce class policies -- while getting your students to respect, understand, and participate in them ● A fool-proof guide to recognizing and managing difficult behavior ● What empathy and conflict resolution skills can do to improve relationships between you and your students -- and how to use them And much more. Avoid low engagement, ineffective learning, and low-quality relationships inside your classroom by preparing for the differing needs of your students. Worried about experimenting with something as sensitive as classroom management? Don't fret -- this guide has everything you need to safely and successfully experiment with the different techniques that can create a positive classroom environment for you and your students.

Book Description
A vision of the future of education in which the classroom experience is distributed across space and time without compromising learning. What if there were a model for learning in which the classroom experience was distributed across space and time--and students could still have the benefits of the traditional classroom, even if they can't be present physically or learn synchronously? In this book, two experts in online learning envision a future in which education from kindergarten through graduate school need not be tethered to a single physical classroom. The distributed classroom would neither sacrifice students' social learning experience nor require massive development resources. It goes beyond hybrid learning, so ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic, and MOOCs, so trendy a few years ago, to reimagine the classroom itself. David Joyner and Charles Isbell, both of Georgia Tech, explain how recent developments, including distance learning and learning management systems, have paved the way for the distributed classroom. They propose that we dispense with the dichotomy between online and traditional education, and the assumption that online learning is necessarily inferior. They describe the distributed classroom's various delivery modes for in-person students, remote synchronous students, and remote asynchronous students; the goal would be a symmetry of experiences, with both students and teachers able to move from one mode to another. With The Distributed Classroom, Joyner and Isbell offer an optimistic, learner-centric view of the future of education, in which every person on earth is turned into a potential learner as barriers of cost, geography, and synchronicity disappear.
