book would serve as an excellent resource for study groups
researching "best practices" for their school.
Whatever the focus of your professional development, if
you need to review the most up-to-date research literature,
find successful classroom strategies and develop a plan
for implementation, Instructional Practices That Maximize
Student Achievement is where you start. With today's
culture of standards and accountability, educators need
proven tools to bring every student to high levels of achievement.
This book puts those tools right into teachers' hands—a
cost-effective resource for every classroom."
—Gail D. Rosengard, Assistant Superintendent for
Curriculum and Instruction, Lawrence Public Schools, Lawrence,
MA
"A
must read for all educators . . . . Finally, there is a
resource for teachers (by teachers), that provides a comprehensive,
practical approach to maximizing student achievement. This
book invites educators to examine current practice and prioritize
planning, instruction and assessment to increase student
engagement and attainment. Best practice thinking in the
areas of differentiated instruction, brain research, asssessment
and motivation are condensed into this one teacher-friendly
manual. Time is very valuable and in short supply. Educators
are looking for ways to work smarter in accomplishing instructional
goals. Reading this book is time well spent. I plan to share
it with every educator in my district!"
—Kristen E. Stringfellow, Assistant Superintendent
of Schools, Scituate School Department, Scituate, Rhode
Island
"Instructional
Practices That Maximize Student Achievement is a practical
"go to first" resource for new and experienced
educators. The book provides a summary of current educational
research. It serves as a quick reference for best practices
and will save teachers precious time and energy. Each chapter
is filled with many examples of "easy to implement"
strategies which enable teachers to put ideas from research
and best practice into use in their own classrooms. Many
examples can easily be used as printed, or with simple modifications,
can be applied to another grade level or subject area. If
you're looking for a book that effectively combines theory
and practice in one user friendly resource, then this is
the book for you."
—Rhonda Rueger, Principal, Oneida Castle Elementary
School, Oneida, New York

by William B. Ribas
|
Click
here for Table of Contents |
"Every
now and then a work is completed that is practical as much
as it is informative. William Ribas provides such a work
in his exceptional guide to teacher evaluation in Teacher
Evaluation That Works!! This research based book addresses
both the technical and the interpersonal aspects of teacher
evaluation that serve both the new as well as the experienced
supervisor by providing hands on materials and valuable
insights to the critical skill of teacher assessment. This
book is a must for your professional library."
—Dr. Arturo Delgado, Superintendent, San Bernardino
City (CA) Unified School District
"This
work by Dr. Ribas is a resource for anyone interested in
supervision and evaluation. Truly a tool for both administrators
and teachers intent upon improving their skills, Teacher
Evaluation That Works!! offers structured, thorough,
user-friendly methods for evaluating all educators. Both
teachers and administrators in our district feel that the
Teacher Evaluation That Works!! approach
has inspired positive change in the culture of teacher evaluation
in our district."
—Dr. Paul Dakin, Superintendent, Revere (MA) Public
Schools
"The
material contained in this book has been tried, tested and
refined as Dr. Ribas used the Teacher Evaluation That
Works!! program to train Brookline's teachers and administrators
in the art and science of supervision and evaluation. The
significantly improved consistency and quality of supervision
and evaluation throughout the district demonstrates the
effectiveness of his straightforward and practical approach
to this complex subject."
—Marcia Heist, Chair, Brookline (MA) School Committee
"Teacher
Evaluation That Works!! clearly and succintly explains
the steps that districts must take to develop and maintain
an effective program of teacher supervision and evaluation.
It is a must read for every school administrator."
—Dr. Christopher Martes, Executive Director, Massachusetts
Association of School Superintendents
"Dr.
Ribas's book is a must-read for school administrators. It
is the first book that successfully integrates current research
on teacher supervision and evaluation with the practical
knowledge of someone with 16 years experience as a supervisor
and evaluator. It is filled with practical suggestions for
supervising and evaluating low-performing, average-performing
and high-performing teachers."
—William Simmons, Principal, North Broadstreet
School, Oneida (NY) Public Schools

Teacher
Evaluation That Works!!
is a ready-to-use, hands-on guide that takes you through the most
important facets of being a teacher supervisor and evaluator: the
educational, legal, public relations (political), and standard and
processes concepts which enable districts to develop successful
professional development programs for evaluators. (E.L.P.S.) This
guide gives districts the tools to systematically—and cost
effectively—assess and revise their supervision and evaluation
programs so they successfully address the E.L.P.S. You learn from
real examples taken from actual teacher's evaluations, their evaluation
documents, sample evaluations, case studies, and teachers' evaluations
completed by administrators trained or supervised by the author.
The focus is on proven techniques that are being used effectively
in school districts today, coupled with sound theory and research.

Inducting
and Mentoring Teachers New to the District
by William
B. Ribas
Click
here for Table of Contents |
"It
is the first book for teachers and administrators that addresses
the needs of mentor teachers, newly hired teachers and principals
during the induction and mentoring process. Principals will
find the book's hiring tips, instructions for running district
orientation programs and guidelines for running a building
support team extremely helpful. Mentor teachers and newly
hired teachers will find it significantly increases the
effectiveness of their time together and their classroom
success. What I like most is that the mentor teachers, newly
hired teachers and the principal all are working from the
same book and the same information. It makes for the easy
coordination of an effective induction program."
—William
Simmons, Principal, North Broadstreet School, Oneida (NY)
Public Schools
"As
thousands of veteran teachers prepare to retire, how prepared
is your system for the teachers who will replace them? The
influx of large numbers of teachers into school systems,
coupled with the challenges of teaching in today's classrooms,
make strong induction programs a must. Dr. Ribas's book
arrives at the right time! It is an invaluable resource
that addresses all the key components of a comprehensive
induction program. District coordinators, building principals,
mentors and teachers new to a district will all find critically
important information in this complete resource."
— Karen DeRusha, Induction Program Coordinator,
Newton (MA) Public Schools
|
Order
the one book your newly hired teachers, mentors, principals, and
induction coordinators need for the effective hiring and induction
of teachers new to your district. Many newly hired teachers, mentor
teachers, superintendents, human resources administrators and induction
coordinators have attended Ribas's all day workshops. Now you can
order a copy of his new book on the topic of recruiting, hiring,
and inducting (with mentoring) new teachers to the district. It
is the only book that addresses all facets of your hiring and induction
process. It contains all the information districts need to hire
and retain the best teachers. Topics include hiring tips, instructions
for running district orientation programs and building support teams,
mentor training, and training for the teachers you hire in the three
areas practitioners find are the leading cause of failure for teachers
new to a district (parent–teacher communication, establishing
classroom routines, and effective planning).
