Editorial Review:

Research and experience show that writers need three things: ownership of the form and subject of their writing; feedback from other writers; and time to draft and revise. Yet the harsh and confusing reality of today's college-entrance and state-mandated examinations-or any test with an essay component-is that students, trained in writing workshops, go on the clock to compose a paper on an assigned topic, in a prescribed form, for which they will receive no feedback.

...And their future depends on it.

In Writing on Demand, you'll discover how to help your students gain the valuable skills they need to succeed on the essay portions of the SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement, and other exams and to help them develop as writers. Anne Ruggles Gere, Leila Christenbury, and Kelly Sassi take you through the entire testing process, offering insights on several key strategies for on-demand writing, including how to:
  • quickly decode writing prompts to uncover the goals and expectations of the assignment
  • organize thoughts swiftly and use the allotted time efficiently
  • understand how tests are scored
  • approach the scorers as an audience

Most importantly, they show you how integrate these strategies into a program of best practices instead of mere test prep.

In addition, a companion website offers more than 50 downloadable prompts, sample student essays, grading rubrics, and minilessons that give you a chance to aid your students in understanding this specialized genre and to use their composing skills in this artificially compressed version of the writing process.

Give your students the opportunity to develop the proficiency and confidence they need to succeed in on-demand writing situations without abandoning the principles behind your writing workshop. Read Writing on Demand and find out how students can not only beat the clock, but write well-even in the most trying conditions for writers.

Editorial Review:

Nurture the power of students' curiosity and improve achievement in science!

"An amazingly clear and broad synthesis of virtually every important topic associated with inquiry. Llewellyn’s ideas are sure to provide a unifying focus of discussion among all groups dedicated to improving science education."

-Richard H. Audet
Associate Professor
Roger Williams University

Praise for the First Edition:
"This book makes a distinct contribution with its completeness of coverage, easy-to-read style, and abundance of practical examples. Its suggestions are obviously based upon a wealth of personal experience, not just ‘book knowledge.’ The author is to be commended for writing a book aimed at practitioners, not theorists; it is sorely needed."
-Diane M. Holben, Coordinator of Academic Services
Saucon Valley High School
Hellertown, PA

"Llewellyn has included several clear comparisons of the inquiry method to what is currently happening in classrooms, as well as many examples from each level of teaching. The books’ well-organized material will be informative for both experienced teachers and student teachers just starting out."
-Joan Commons, Academic Coordinator
Teacher Education CREATE, University of California, San Diego

In this second edition, science educator Douglas Llewellyn combines clear-cut insights with practical suggestions for developing teaching competencies and strategies to implement inquiry-based instruction-a teaching strategy strongly endorsed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Research Council, and the National Science Teachers Association.

Aligned with NSES standards and written for educators seeking to cultivate learners' sense of discovery and critical thinking skills, Inquire Within, Second Edition, focuses on showing teachers how to implement inquiry activities using the three "R's"-restructuring, retooling, and reculturing. The author provides examples that match common curricular objectives and demonstrates how teachers can modify current lesson plans rather than creating new ones.

Offering ready-to-use inquiry lessons and teacher-friendly materials for students in grades 3–8, this edition’s updates include:

  • Three aspects of inquiry-promoting content knowledge, science process skills, and positive attitudes or dispositions
  • A new chapter of suggested investigations with teacher notes
  • Strategies for using inquiry methods with English Language Learners and special education students
  • Activities that incorporate technology

This comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for practitioners at every level-including elementary and middle school science teachers, principals, science teacher leaders and specialists, staff development planners, curriculum supervisors, and college professors.

Editorial Review:

A short primer on each of the major math content areas that preservice and inservice elementary and middle school teachers are required to know. This book is an invaluable resource for the classroom teacher who needs both an overview for planning and help in answering student questions. Based broadly on the national standards, it gives the teacher general scientific information to cover most state's standards and to help prepare them for teacher certification exams. It also provides a strong overview of mathematical knowledge to allow the teacher to find information on important concepts, to see where significant moments in mathematical history fit chronologically, and to improve the teacher's understanding of mathematical ideas and concepts. Moreover, it saves professors from having to re-teach mathematics content so they can remain focused on the methods.

Models of Teaching is a great asset for beginning teachers as they integrate their pre-service training with the standards-based curricula in schools.”

-Amany Saleh, Arkansas State University

“Rarely have I read a text from cover to cover...however, your text provided an abundance of effective teaching strategies in ways that better informed my own teaching...I was compelled to read through the entire test! Great job!”

-Carolyn Andrews, Student at University of Nevada, Reno 

“This is a practical text that focuses on current practices in education and demonstrates how various models of teaching can address national standards.”

-Marsha Zenanko, Jacksonville State University

Models of Teaching provides excellent case studies that will enable students to ‘see’ models of teaching in practice in the classroom.”

-Margaret M. Ferrara, University of Nevada, Reno

Models of Teaching: Connecting Student Learning With Standards features classic and contemporary models of teaching appropriate to elementary and secondary settings. Authors Jeanine M. Dell’Olio and Tony Donk use detailed case studies to discuss 10 models of teaching and demonstrate how the models can incorporate state content standards and benchmarks, as well as technology standards. This book provides students with a theoretical and practical understanding of how to use models of teaching to both meet and exceed the growing expectations for research-based instructional practices and student achievement.

Key Features

  • Shows how each model looks and sounds in classrooms at all levels: Each model is illustrated with two detailed case studies (elementary and secondary) and post-lesson reflections. 
  • Offers detailed descriptions of the phases of each model: Each model is accompanied by a detailed chart and discussion of the steps of the model. 
  • Applies technology standards and performance indicators: Each chapter addresses how the particular model can be implemented to meet technology standards and performance indicators. 
  • Connects philosophies of curriculum and instruction: This book connects each model to a philosophy of curriculum and instruction that undergirds that model so teachers understand both how to teach and why. 
  • Promotes student interaction with the text: Exercises at the end of each chapter provide the opportunity for beginning teachers to work directly with core curricula from their own state, and/or local school district curricula.
Each model is illustrated with two detailed case studies (elementary and secondary) and post-lesson reflections.
