Responding to the diversity that exists in today's classrooms, Kellough attempts to enhance the teaching (and therefore learning) of individual disciplines by connecting them to both the entire curriculum and the real world. The book begins by covering fundamentals important to all teachers of Grades 4-9, then provides examples, methods and activities for integrating the instruction of mathematics and science.

Solidly grounded in current recommendations of the National Science Education Standards, this book offers teaching guidance and strategies for physical, biological, and earth science courses for middle school, junior high, and high school. The Authors' extensive curriculum development experience fills the book with a practical focus. Their collective knowledge of the field balances coverage of the theory and research behind the strategies they present. Also, inherent in the text is a description of the role of constructivism in science teaching and the connection between science and society including how technological development is driven by societal needs. A seven-part organization includes an introduction, historical perspectives and contemporary trends, goals and objectives, curriculum perspectives, planning for instruction and assessment, understanding and working with students, and induction and professional development. For middle through secondary school science teachers.

Some contend that the value of science education has declined and our goal of scientific literacy is an unrealized and unrealizable myth. And others simply declare that our efforts to reform have failed. Rodger Bybee, one of the nation's foremost science educators, responds to these charges, offering new insights into the issues surrounding contemporary reform. Achieving Scientific Literacy offers a broad vision for improving science education that is at times historical and philosophical and also concrete and practical. It extends and elaborates on several themes, including: <ul>
<li>a clarification of scientific literacy </li> <li>a systemic perspective on reform </li> <li>a standards-based approach to improving science education</li> <li>an emphasis on science teaching and student learning </li> </ul>
Bybee maintains that although the rhetoric of reform is national, the actual reform must occur at state and local levels. His book addresses the critical challenge of transforming issues from national standards to state and local practices, and ultimately to the classroom, with the aim of developing greater coherence and consistency in science education. Achieving Scientific Literacy is a book anyone concerned about the future of science education should own. It will help classroom teachers, science supervisors, and administrators with both the larger perspective of reform and the practical issues of improving their programs and practices. Undergraduates who are entering the profession, scientists and engineers who support and influence school science programs, and teachers and policymakers who identify and address critical issues of educational reform will find the book just as valuable.

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, because of its tremendous significance for understanding how humans develop, has special relevance for educators who wish to become better teachers. Moving from the theoretical to the practical, this volume aims to address, through narrative and example, the specific needs of educators by showing the usefulness of Piagetan theory when making educational decisions about children, curriculum, and instructional strategies. Chapters include guest editorials highlighting aspects of Piaget's theory not already covered. In addition, each chapter includes references, questions, and interview tasks designed to help readers extend and apply their understanding of Piaget's ideas. Short self-evaluations covering the content of the chapters are also included. This book represents an effort both to present Piaget's theory and to make the theory practical for educators. Every attempt has been made to demonstrate and provide examples in order to answer the education questions--how do I apply Piaget's theory to the education of students?

Teaching Science is Phenomenal provides science educators with insights into using science phenomena and engineering challenges to develop meaningful, three-dimensional classroom experiences for students. 
The book integrates the GRC and 5E models creating a systematic process to develop lessons that engage students in authentic science performances. A major focus of the book is to support educators as they align teaching and learning to standards consistent with the Framework and NGSS. Educators are introduced to the use of “analogous phenomena” to extend student learning. This book provides insights and strategies for eff ectively using the accompanying online lesson resources at #Going3Dw/GRC, which has standards-based lessons for every grade level and science discipline.

In response to these unconventional and uncertain years, veteran educator Rodger W. Bybee has written a book that s as thought-provoking as it is constructive. Now more than ever, he writes, America needs reminders of both the themes that made it great in the first place and STEM s contributions to its citizens. Science educators must address STEM issues at local, national, and global levels. And teachers should help students tackle today s problems with new approaches to STEM learning that complement traditional single-discipline programs. STEM Education Now More Than Ever addresses these themes through four wide-ranging sections. Parts of the book are what you might expect from a longtime thought leader in science education. In light of the 2016 election and recent assaults on science s validity, Bybee strongly asserts the need for a new case for STEM education. Other parts may not seem typical for a book on STEM. He writes about the Enlightenment, the U.S. Constitution, democracy, and citizenship as reminders of the effects of STEM disciplines on America s foundational ideas and values. In the end, Bybee ties it all together with positive, practical recommendations. A major one involves newer, faster ways to help teachers develop STEM units that address contemporary challenges in their classes. Another involves the importance of strong leadership from teachers and the STEM education community leadership Bybee believes we need now more than ever.

"Science education's two-fold challenge is clear: Schools need to (1) align their curricula with contemporary state standards and (2) meet the growing demand for STEM education. What's not as clear: how to meet the challenge if your school doesn't have the right instructional materials. STEM, Standards, and Strategies for High-Quality Units is designed to address both these needs. Thought leader and curriculum expert Rodger W. Bybee has assembled a guide to creating coherent, high-quality classroom materials that support the standards and STEM. The book provides practical background information and activities that can be adapted by individual teachers, professional learning communities, and professional developers. It starts with a section on making foundational decisions about your STEM unit's development. Later sections discuss getting started with preliminary designs, improving the designs with new knowledge and skills, developing the unit, and then teaching and further improving the unit as needed. Throughout, Bybee integrates contemporary educational strategies such as the 5E Instructional Model, backward design, and lesson study. "Because most states have new science standards, it only makes sense to incorporate various aspects of those standards in STEM activities," he writes. STEM, Standards, and Strategies for High-Quality Units is the book to help you do this. It's useful whether your school is developing a new STEM program, adapting current instructional materials, or creating new materials of its own"--
