Stenhouse Tuesday Quick Tips

I have come to look forward to Quick Tip Tuesday on Stenhouse's blog. Just this weekend I was looking back on some of their older posts since I only recently started following the blog. Today they did a post that they are looking for feedback on how teachers utilize their tips. I was thrilled to see that they are even going to give the first 5 commenters who tell how they used one of their tips will win a free Stenhouse book of their choice!

Which Stenhouse book would you choose if you were able to pick any?

It would be hard for me to choose. This year I have bought six new Stenhouse resources, and I loved them all (I am still in the process of reading the sixth). There are many others on my wish list or that catch my eye. Below are some of them.

I am excited to see this upcoming resource and the blog tour that will accompany the release.


Since I loved Gallagher's Readicide, I am sure that I would get a lot out of Deeper Reading and Teaching Adolescent Writers.



When I was visiting schools to look for good fits for my first teaching job out of college, one of my friends and I visited a classroom using socratic seminars. I always wanted to know more, but I have never read a resource specifically about the process, so one of the archive tips on the subject caught my attention this weekend. I am sure that I would learn a lot from Copeland's resource. (A teacher also mentioned use of the seminars on the recent current events discussion.)


When I saw Teamwork featured on the blog, I instantly added it to my wish list.
