Making the Difference
The authors argue persuasively that differentiation provides diverse learners with access to the curriculum and an invitation to learn. The first four chapters describe the foundations of effective teacher differentiation: knowing each student as a learner, knowing one's curriculum, developing a repertoire of research-based instructional strategies, and learning the skills of professional collaboration. Embedded in each chapter are practical strategies that teachers can use in their classrooms. Later chapters deal with special issues in differentiation, such as assessment, teacher cultural sensitivity, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and the use of classroom technology. The authors write from their perspective as career international educators.
The Anarchist Cookbook
The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.

Teacher Self-Supervision: Why Teacher Evaluation Has Failed and What We Can Do About it
Many, perhaps even most schools, are not reaching their potential to be places of collective learning. The authors believe that one of the greatest impediments to realizing this vision is the deleterious effect of traditional systems of teacher evaluation. Rather than infantilizing teachers, we need to empower them. Traditional forms of teacher evaluation have failed. They are riddled with negative expectations about teachers and what motivates them. Taken together, these underlying assumptions form a pernicious cloud of counterproductive expectations that many teachers will "live down to". Inadvertently, the traditional system of teacher evaluation has created a vicious cycle of "self-sealing logic." It is now time for teachers to reclaim their profession, the process of which involves a relentless focus on adult learning: professional learning that is self-directed. The more dynamic and stimulating the culture of adult learning, the more dynamic and stimulating student learning will be.
