Title: One of the "Best Resources for New teachers"
Review: As a mentor with Baltimore County Public Schools, I highly recommend this book for it's resources. There are several grouping strategies, such as clock buddies,book buddies, color wheel buddies etc. I especially like the ones on page 250 where students find their alternative partner such as salt & pepper, Beauty and the Beast and so on. The talking tokens mentioned on pg. 256 are a great way to allow student participation amongst a group as well as a way to "structure" the type of responses that the teacher desires in the group. This book also comes with a CD, so that various forms such asthe "Unit Planning form"," Peer Observation Form", and the"Active Learning Form" can be downloaded and printed off easily for teacher use. Once again, "Paula Rutherford knows her stuff."Gail HarperBaltimore County Publc Schools
