Book Description
Taking as its guiding principle that through peer coaching new teachers can offer each other valuable feedback as they try out teaching techniques in the classroom, this book reports on a longitudinal study in peer coaching. The book aims to give teacher educators a new method for encouraging reflective thinking and professional growth in preservice teachers. The study reported on in the book was conducted over two-and-a-half years with 135 preservice teachers at Towson State University in Maryland. The book recounts scenarios of student experiences in which peer coaching was used, describes the students involved and the ways in which they were trained to coach one another, furnishes the results of the study, and offers ways in which teacher educators can use this information in their teaching of teachers. The chapters in the book were written in "heteroglossic" form--that is, the text reflects both the individual and collective perspectives of the authors. Chapters in the book are as follows: (1) Facilitating Reflective Thinking in Preservice Teacher Education; (2) Rethinking the Making of Teachers; (3) Peer Coaching Scenarios; (4) Training for Coaching; and (5) Reflections on Preservice Peer Coaching. The book concludes with a peer coaching workbook and a 51-item bibliography divided into sections on active learning, coaching, and reflection. (NKA)

Book Description
A teacher presents a lesson, and at the end asks students if they understand the material. The students nod and say they get it. Later, the teacher is dismayed when many of the students fail a test on the material. Why aren’t students getting it? And, just as important, why didn’t the teacher recognize the problem? In Checking for Understanding, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey show how to increase students’ understanding with the help of creative formative assessments. When used regularly, formative assessments enable every teacher to determine what students know and what they still need to learn. Fisher and Frey explore a variety of engaging activities that check for and increase understanding, including interactive writing, portfolios, multimedia presentations, audience response systems, and much more. This new 2nd edition of Checking for Understanding has been updated to reflect the latest thinking in formative assessment and to show how the concepts apply in the context of Fisher and Frey’s work on gradual release of responsibility, guided instruction, formative assessment systems, data analysis, and quality instruction. Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey are the creators of the Framework for Intentional and Targeted (FIT) Teaching™. They are also the authors of numerous ASCD books, including The Formative Assessment Action Plan: Practical Steps to More Successful Teaching and Learning and the best-selling Enhancing RTI: How to Ensure Success with Effective Classroom Instruction and Intervention.

Book Description
This book provides insight into the importance and impacts that experiential learning has in geographic education by examining the experience, the methods of evaluation, and the encounters that students have shared about their experiences. It allows the reader to gain insight into what it really takes to prepare and lead students in such experiences both domestically and internationally. The book can be used as a guide to planning, but also demonstrates the use of experiential learning theory throughout these experiences and especially the importance of reflection by the students on what they are experiencing. The book is beneficial to students and faculty alike that are studying geography education.
