School "Rules"! -- Ten Activities for Establishing Classroom Rules
Starting the school year on the right foot includes establishing classroom rules that will last the whole year through. Many teachers involve students in establishing their classroom rules. (Surprisingly, student-created rules are often much the same as -- or even tougher than -- rules a teacher might create. After all, students want to attend school in a safe environment, and they want to know the boundaries when it comes to classroom behavior.) Included: Ten activities for involving students in creating classroom rules.

Each week, Education World spotlights books of interest to educators. This week, read a brief summary of two more of our "top 50 books for educators."

Young Investigators: The Project Approach in the Early Years
This book from Teachers College Press applies the project approach to teaching, which has traditionally been associated with the middle grades, to early childhood education. This can not only energize and focus early childhood lessons, but also lay a foundation for inquisitive thought that students can benefit from for the rest of their school years, even for the rest of their lives.

Teaching Science for Understanding: A Practical Guide for Middle and High School Teachers
We all know that the United States has to "play catch-up" with science and math teaching, compared to other countries, and this book is a serious attempt to contribute positively to that effort. Science may be especially susceptible to passive, direct-instruction styles, and this author instead advocates active, inquiry-based learning. A unique feature of this book is a set of excerpts from popular science textbooks along with suggestions for making the content contained in those books come alive for students.

Pete Hall's Always Strive To Be a Better You!
The Attack
In education today -- with the advent of the No Child Left Behind Act, with higher standards and expectations for all children, with growing pressure for preparing our children for global competition, with the increasing need to address the issues and development of the whole child -- educators need to respond. On behalf of roughly 50 million children in the American public school system, I ask you to join me in “The Attack”…

Paul Young’s Young @ Heart
Have You Got Enough Love to Be a Mentor Principal?
“Just as first-year teachers survive under the guidance of a caring mentor, so too principals need someone to act as a sounding board when things get tough. Without that support, new principals can feel disconnected. That isolation can lead to a loss of confidence, productivity, and hope.” Included: Paul offers tips for finding a mentor or becoming one.

BRAVO Principals... Rekindle the Spirit
“Every day the newspaper is full of discouraging news about our schools. Headlines highlight our shortcomings. Editorials decry our faults. While all good principals know there is always room for improvement, we also know that many wonderful successes happen on our campuses each day. That is why we must be cheerleaders who encourage teachers, students, and the larger school community…”

Where Does Looping End?

Morgan, a student in Mrs. Bumphrey's first-grade class, needed constant prodding to get her work done. The following year, when Mrs. Bumphrey moved with her students to second grade, Morgan's work habits had not improved. And Mrs. Bumphrey kept after Morgan.

One day when Morgan was especially far behind, Mrs. Bumphrey told her, "If you don't get that page done before recess, you won't be able to go out and play."

Morgan started to write, then looked up and asked her, "Do you teach third grade too?"
