A complete phonics and spelling workbook for an entire elementary school year.

While academic interventions can be implemented in any grade, focusing on interventions in high school is critical because it is often a student's last chance to become ready for the academic demands of postsecondary education and careers. States across the country are implementing large-scale initiatives focused on delivering academic interventions in the high school grades. This self-study guide provides a template for data collection and guiding questions for discussion that may improve the implementation of high school academic interventions and increase the number of students meeting college and career readiness standards. This guide is intended to help district- and school-based practitioners conduct self-studies for planning and implementing high school academic interventions. Self-study is a process of using a guide with predetermined focus areas and questions to collect, share, and discuss data with stakeholders. The process can include teachers, instructional coaches, guidance counselors, school-based administrators, district administrators, and chief academic officers knowledgeable in high school academic interventions. It may help educators ensure strong implementation of interventions and document current practices in implementing a specific academic practice, multi-tiered system of support, or response to intervention policy. An ideal time for conducting a self-study of implementation of academic interventions is the beginning or end of the school year so that prior-year implementation can be considered and planning can occur for implementation for the next school year. States, districts, and schools that are implementing or planning to implement high school academic interventions may find this guide helpful as they consider which types of evidence to collect and which components of high school academic interventions are important for evaluating implementation. This "Self-Study Guide for Implementing High School Academic Interventions" consists of the "Scoring Guide," "Implementation Consensus Rating Form," and "Planning Next Steps Form." Support for "Scoring Guide" areas is appended.

A beautifully produced centenary edition of this classic story of an English childhood, with cover and illustrations from Mark Hearld and an introduction from Michael Morpurgo. "Summer was also the time of these: of sudden plenty, of slow hours and actions, of diamond haze and dust on the eyes; of jazzing wasps and dragonflies, haystooks and thistle-seeds, snows of white butterflies, skylark's eggs, bee-orchids, and frantic ants... All this, and the feeling that it would never end, that such days had come forever... All sights twice-brilliant and smells twice-sharp, all game-days twice as long... we used up the light to its last violet drop, and even then we couldn't go to bed." " Cider With Rosie "is the best and most vital kind of memoir, rich with colourful, sensuous impressions of life in an English village after the First World War. It overflows with stories and characters made fantastical by the writer's child-perspective, and it draws the reader irresistibly into the lost land of the past. With this beautiful special edition, Vintage Classics celebrates 100 years since the birth of the author, Laurie Lee, and salutes this remarkable, surprising and well-loved classic.
