Teaching in the Online Classroom
Summary
A timely guide to online teaching strategies from best-selling author Doug Lemov and the Teach like a Champion team School closures in response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic resulted in an immediate and universal pivot to online teaching. More than 3.7 million teachers in the US were suddenly asked to teach in an entirely new setting with little preparation and no advance notice. This has caused an unprecedented threat to children's education, giving rise to an urgent need for resources and guidance. The New Normal is a just-in-time response to educators' call for help. Teaching expert Doug Lemov and his colleagues spent weeks studying videos of online teaching and they now provide educators in the midst of this transition with a clear guide to engaging and educating their students online. Although the transition to online education is happening more abruptly than anyone anticipated, technology-supported teaching may be here to stay. This guide explores the challenges involved in online teaching and guides educators and administrators to identify and understand best practices. It is a valuable tool to help you and your students succeed in synchronous and asynchronous settings this school year and beyond.

Michel Thomas Beginner German, Lesson 4
Summary
What is the Michel Thomas Method? The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational language that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher Michel Thomas, and provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary. Lessons 1-7, the Beginner course: This course makes no assumption of knowledge of any language other than English and gives the beginner practical and functional use of the spoken language. It is also appropriate for anyone who has studied German before, but has forgotten much of it or does not have confidence in speaking. The Beginner course is designed to take you from complete beginner to intermediate level. Lessons 8-11, the Intermediate course: This course is for those with an intermediate-level foundation in German, or those who have completed lessons 1-7 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak German proficiently and easily. How does it work? Unlike most language courses that focus around topics or grammar forms, the Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the first 10 minutes of the course, you will be generating complete sentences on your own. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and "recycles" language taught in earlier lessons, allowing you to build ever-more complicated sentences. Because the Method is based on understanding, not memorisation, there is no set limit to the length of time that you should study each lesson. Once you feel you have a good grasp of the language taught in one lesson, you can move on to the next. In lesson 4 of the German Beginner course, you’ll learn how words like "weil" ("because") affect word order and how to use reflexive verbs with… Verbs: "to know", "to cost", "to ask", "to feel", "to wash", "to hurry" Adjectives and nouns: "tired", "question" Place expressions and negatives: "at home", "home" (= "to home"), "nothing" Words that send the first verb to the end of the sentence ("the weil situation") Question words: "how much" Social communications: "How's it going?", "How are you?", "I'm well", "many thanks" Adverbs: "much", "better" Reflexive verbs and pronouns: "I feel (myself) well", "to hurry (oneself)" In the next lesson you’ll be able to use the German words "man" ("one", "we") and "kein" ("not any"), the modal verbs "shall" and "should", and the conditional mood ("I would…").

We Got This: Equity, Access, and the Quest to Be Who Our Students Need Us to Be
Summary
"That's the problem with you, Minor" a student huffed. "You want to make everything about reading or math. It's not always about that. At school, you guys do everything except listen to me. Y'all want to use your essays and vocabulary words to save my future, but none of y'all know anything about saving my now." In We Got This, Cornelius Minor describes how this conversation moved him toward realizing that listening to children is one of the most powerful things a teacher can do. By listening carefully, Cornelius discovered something that kids find themselves having to communicate far too often. That "my lessons were not, at all, linked to that student's reality." While challenging the teacher as hero trope, We Got This shows how authentically listening to kids is the closest thing to a superpower that we have. What we hear can spark action that allows us to make powerful moves toward equity by broadening access to learning for all children. A lone teacher can't eliminate inequity, but Cornelius demonstrates that a lone teacher can confront the scholastic manifestations of racism, sexism, ableism, and classism by showing: Exactly how he plans and revises lessons to ensure access and equity Ways to look anew at explicit and tacit rules that consistently affect groups of students unequally Suggestions for leaning into classroom community when it feels like the kids are against you Ideas for using universal designs that make curriculum relevant and accessible Advocacy strategies for making classroom and school-wide changes that expand access to opportunity to your students "We cannot guarantee outcomes, but we can guarantee access" Cornelius writes. "We can ensure that everyone gets a shot. In this book we get to do that. Together. Consider this book a manual for how to begin that brilliantly messy work. We got this."

Education for Critical Consciousness
Summary
Famous for his advocacy of "critical pedagogy", Paulo Freire was Latin America's foremost educationalist, a thinker and writer whose work and ideas continue to exert enormous influence in education throughout the world today. Education for Critical Consciousness is the main statement of Freire's revolutionary method of education. It takes the life situation of the learner as its starting point and the raising of consciousness and the overcoming of obstacles as its goals. For Freire, man's striving for his own humanity requires the changing of structures that dehumanize both the oppressor and the oppressed.
