This book is a practical guide for making the complexities of teaching diverse learners more visible--to others and to our selves--and for fostering rich professional conversations that are focused on improving the teaching of all students. </em>--Jeff Zwiers, Senior Researcher<br><br><em>I′m rarely impressed with books that claim to be practical guides because most use that title without sufficient understanding of the nuts-and-bolts details of implementation that are required to justify such a label. Your book is a delightful exception. Congratulations on outlining a wonderful resource for educators. </em>--Brad Ermeling, Principal Research Scientist<br><br><em>The writing, the depth, the flow, examples are all exciting and well done. Very appropriate for teachers. I recommend the book because of the detailed information, clear step-by-step process.</em>--Margarita Calderón, Professor Emerita<br><br><em>This book is a must read for principals, instructional coaches, teacher leaders and others charged with the task of providing meaningful professional development for teachers. As a how-to guide, the practical suggestions within this book provide a relevant framework for implementing classroom-based inquiry.</em>--Judy Brunner, Clinical Faculty<br><br><em>This exceptionally valuable book provides a clear process I can use to engage with my colleagues around learning. I appreciated the ideas and practical information that will ensure that my professional learning group focuses on student learning as evidenced in real lessons. The tools that Tonya Singer provides are useful and relevant, not to mention tried and true. </em> <p><em>To ramp up professional learning, this is the tool that will start your engine.</em></p>--Douglas Fisher, Professor<br><br><em>Tonya Singer has compiled a cornucopia of best practice and top research under one roof in the learning community. The text directs and explains a culture where teachers assist each other in collaboration assisting students in growth and readiness for an ever changing world.</em>--Lyndon Oswald, Principal<br><br><em>Tonya Ward Singer's, Opening Doors to Equity - A Practical Guide to Observation-Based Professional Learning is a rich text for administrators and teacher leaders concerned with supporting the growth of others. It combines practical ideas to build a strong learning culture with ideas to take full advantage of 'open doors' to move a compelling equity agenda forward. </em>--Beate Planche, Educational Consultant/Researcher<br><br><em>With all the changes taking place in education, this process of teachers working collaboratively together can both improve our instructional practice and open doors for us to support each other in ways we have not in the past. Both the improvement and support are vital in education at this time.</em>--Leslie Standerfer, Principal, Estrella Foothills High School, Goodyear, AZ<br><br><p></em>Opening Doors to Equity<em> is extremely practical, clear, and easy to understand and implement. Most importantly, the practice supports sustainable professional learning of any content area or strategy, especially relevant now as we are transitioning to Common Core State Standards and in need of examining the effectiveness of the many new practices we are implementing. </em></p>--Katherine Strach, Language and Literacy Consultant<br><br><p><em></em>Opening Doors to Equity<em> is</em><em> truly a facilitator's dream. I could take it and use it well with teachers to engage in professional learning. The process is definitely tried and true - it speaks well of the author's experiences in real schools with real educators. On the basis of the amount of yellow highlighting I did in each chapter, I would say this is an incredibly powerful book.</em></p>--Lois Brown Easton, Educational Consultant, Author<br><br><p><em>I recommend this book without hesitation. . . Gone are the days for teachers to be working 'behind closed doors' . . . Go forth and TEACH like the world works-- collaboratively with teams!</em></p> <p> </p>--Harriet Gould, Currently Adjunct Professor<br><br><p><em>The author is able to look at the challenges of learning for students and teachers in a way that is engaging so that everyone can feel accepted and encouraged. This book looks at literacy issues openly and realistically. All points of view can be valued if the suggestions are implemented as recommended. Learning for all is not only the goal but also can be the reality.</em></p>--Barb Keating, Educational Consultant<br><br>This book is a must read for principals, instructional coaches, teacher leaders and others charged with the task of providing meaningful professional development for teachers. As a how-to guide, the practical suggestions within this book provide a relevant framework for implementing classroom-based inquiry. The online videos are icing on the cake!</em>--Judy Brunner, Clinical Faculty<br><br>With all the changes taking place in education, this process of teachers working collaboratively together can both improve our instructional practice and open doors for us to support each other in ways we have not in the past. Both the improvement and support are vital in education at this time.</em>--Leslie Standerfer, Principal/Academic Associate<br><br>Our teachers' experience engaging in this book with Tonya Ward Singer was transformational. Effective scaffolding and engagement strategies for Academic English Learners have now become a consistent part of their routine for our experienced teachers. </p> --Pamela Carpenter, Director<br>
