Check out these brand new books by Dr. Scott Mandel:

JUST RELEASED...FOR THOSE DEALING WITH TEACHING IN THE AGE OF NCLB...

IMPROVING TEST SCORES:

A PRACTICAL APPROACH FOR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS

This book deals with the conflict that teachers and administrators face with trying to raise their school's test scores, while at the same time, teaching the way they want to teach. Subjects covered include:

  • What is the best way to cover the material on which the students will be tested without "teaching to the test" or compromising daily instruction?
  • How can students be motivated to perform at their best without adding undue stress?
  • How can teachers improve students' critical thinkiing and test-taking skills?
  • How do administrators motivate and support their staff before and during test season?

THE NEW TEACHER TOOLBOX:PROVEN TIPS AND STRATEGIES FOR A GREAT FIRST YEAR

This book is made especially for brand new teachers. It provides suggestions on the "real" stuff of classroom survival: how to grade, conduct parent conferences, how to teach 5 hours of material in only 3 hours, and much, much more. Many of the ideas come from the pages of Teachers Helping Teachers over the past 10 years.

COOPERATIVE WORK GROUPS: PREPARING STUDENTS FOR THE REAL WORLD

This book takes cooperative learning to the next level. The cooperative work group concept combines advenced cooperative learning, brain research (the Multiple Intelligences) and the newest technology (the Internet) in creating a learning environment where we produce students who are ready to enter the 21st century work place.
