What’s the difference? gives new and experienced teachers a comprehensive approach to supporting the needs of autistic students while improving the learning experience for all. It provides teachers with informed background and classroom strategies to meet the unique needs of every student.

In this book, Lauren Porosoff explains how PD curators: structure teachers’ schedules to make time for in-house professional learning; select content and create a process for how people interact with it; fit the often disparate pieces together into a meaningful whole; and discover whether the event has been successful. The practical tools and protocols in each chapter will help you plan professional learning that taps into the expertise and interests of a diverse staff. Canned sessions that don’t connect with teachers’ actual needs will be a thing of the past. Instead, you’ll discover ways to support teachers in sharing ideas and trying out new practices that advance student learning. In doing so, you’ll empower teachers and students alike.

In How to look at student work to uncover student thinking, assessment expert Susan M Brookhart and instructional coach Alice Oakley walk teachers through a better and more illuminating way to approach student work across grade levels and content areas.

• infer what students are thinking
• provide effective feedback
• decide on next instructional moves
• grow as an individual.
