"There are steps teachers and administrators can take--tweaks, if you will--that make a classroom or school a place that's safe for children, one where every student feels noticed and known, one that challenges kids and entices them with the intrinsic rewards of real work done well." --Nancie Atwell Since 1990, Nancie Atwell and the faculty of the K-8 Center for Teaching and Learning have charged themselves with a mission. "Our job is to innovate for the good of children," Nancie writes, "and then to pass along to other teachers the lessons we learn about instruction that makes a difference." Systems to Transform Your Classroom and School makes CTL's powerful innovations accessible to every teacher and administrator. Nancie and her colleagues have created a culture of engagement and excellence by combining smart practices and policies with rich, community-building traditions and rituals. Systems to Transform Your Classroom and School introduces essential practices such as CTL's: daily morning meetings student-generated bill of rights school-wide "You can't say you can't play" rule outreach to parents spiraling K-8 curriculum in science and history student--and teacher--self-assessment and goal-setting student-led evaluation conferences systems for school and classroom management workshop approaches to teaching math, reading, and writing--including warmups, mini-lessons, conferences, and rigorous yet kid-friendly expectations based on the research and experience of a faculty of master teachers. Nancie invites you to: reflect on your own practice and goals view CTL's systems at work on the accompanying DVD read about her school's solutions to common problems of teaching access resources--forms, guidelines, and protocols--developed by the CTL faculty. "If we want students to feel a sense of belonging to something that's bigger than they are," Nancie observes, "it's essential that their teachers feel that way, too." Join your own colleagues, along with long-distance colleagues at the Center for Teaching and Learning, to discover how Systems to Transform Your Classroom and School can help turn your teaching ideals into a practical, successful reality.
