School libraries supporting students with hidden needs and talents : from ADHD to vision impairment / by Collins, Karla Bame,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.While school librarians are experts at collaborating with classroom teachers, too often they overlook the specialists in their buildings as key collaborative partners. Focusing on the many specialists who work with students, Karla Bame Collins provides information about their roles and responsibilities and discusses how school librarians can collaborate to improve learning for all students, including those with hidden disabilities that are not easily detected and may go undiagnosed. Because librarians work with every student, but may not always be informed about each student's particular needs, it's important for them to know whom in the school to turn to for information. Librarians will gain ideas for working with students to provide the best possible learning environment for each.This practical book looks at the whole school library environment--collection, instruction, space, and programming--and offers many ideas for librarians to collaborate with other educators and specialists for the good of all students.

Distracted : why students can't focus and what you can do about it / by Lang, James M.,author.(CARDINAL)674525;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-267) and index.Introduction: From distraction to attention -- Theories of distraction. A brief history of distraction ; Distracted in the classroom ; The tech ban debate -- Practices of attention. Communities of attention ; Curious attention ; Structured attention ; Signature attention activities ; Assessed attention ; Mindful attention -- Conclusion: The classroom as attention retreat."A decade ago, James Lang banned cell phones in his classroom. Frustrated by how easily they could sidetrack his students, Lang sought out a distraction-free environment, hoping it would help his students pay attention to his lessons. But after just a few years, Lang gave in. Not only was his no-cellphones policy ineffective (even his best students ignored it), he realized that he, like many of his fellow teachers, was missing an important point. The problem isn't phones. It's our antiquated notions of the brain. In Distracted, Lang makes the case for a new way of thinking about how to teach young minds based on the emerging neuroscience of attention. Although we have long prized the ability to focus, the most natural way of thinking is distraction. Our brains are designed to continually scan our environment, looking for new information, occasionally wandering off in different directions in search of new insights. This is not to say that iPhones are not good at distracting us, but that what they represent is in principle nothing new, because sustained periods of intense focus are not what humans are good at. Of course, we still do need to pay attention to learn. The problem is that we think of learning as a matter of managing distraction, when we should instead think of it as actively cultivating attention. This starts with letting go of technology bans, which are little more than a fig leaf applied to the objective difficulty of paying attention. But it involves more active ways of rethinking classroom conventions too. For example, rather than structuring lessons as 45 or 60-minute blocks of lecturing, teachers could segment their classes into a series of smaller lessons, with regular shifts in focus, appealing to the brain's interest in novelty. Simple changes can drastically improve students' performance, and in Distracted, Lang takes readers on a sprawling tour of how some of America's best teachers are improving student performance using concepts such as modular classrooms, flow states, and student-directed learning. Together, these insights offer a new way of thinking about how to not only more effectively teach a lesson plan, but to teach students the most important lesson of all: how to learn"--A decade ago Lang banned cell phones in his classroom, frustrated by how easily they could sidetrack his students.
