Getting to Excellent is for everyone - educators, parents, civic leaders - who want students to think sharply, like learning, and have the high literacy skills that will open the path to success in school, work, and life. Using data from her groundbreaking study of diverse middle and high schools, Judith Langer shows us what makes the difference between highly effective schools and typical, business-as-usual schools. This very accessible volume: Provides research-based guidance from schools in California, Florida, New York, and Texas, four states with diverse students and different testing demands. Features many examples of schools in action, identifying particular features that are present in effective schools but don't exist in others. Examines the extent to which teachers and administrators are affected by the larger environment, leading to professional growth or malaise. Includes models for providing rich and exciting learning environments that undergird success for all students. Includes self-inspection checklists to help administrators, teachers, and others place their own school, on the continuum from "typical" to "excellent," and identify areas that need improvement.

This updated text argues that literature fosters ways of thinking that go far beyond understanding the conventions of genre and text. It involves literate thinking that takes students beyond improved performance on high-stakes tests and prepares them for their future in the 21st century. This revision of Judith Langer’s classic bestseller builds on more than 15 years of research and development projects in elementary, middle, and high schools, in inner-city as well as suburban and rural communities: 
<ul>
<li> New examples to show the kinds of critical, creative, and innovative thinking that are needed for success in the digital-age classroom. </li>
<li> A fifth stance added to the Envisionment-building framework toward higher-level understanding, integration, and the building of new concepts. </li>
</ul>
Filled with examples from across the grades and the voices of students and teachers, this book continues to be a practical and influential resource for the English Language Arts classroom.

Envisioning Knowledge: Building Literacy in the Academic Disciplines (Language and Literacy Series)

This book by Judith Langer ―internationally known scholar in literacy learning―examines how learners gain knowledge and become academically literate in the core subjects of English, mathematics, science, and social studies/history. Based on extensive research, it offers a new framework for conceptualizing knowledge development (rather than information collection), and explores how one becomes literate in ways that mark “knowing” in a field. Langer identifies key principles for practice and demonstrates how the framework and the principles together can undergird highly successful instruction across the curriculum. With many examples from middle and high schools, this resource will help educators to plan and implement engaging, exciting, and academically successful programs. Essential reading for pre- and inservice teachers and curriculum developers, this book: <ul>
<li> Offers a new framework on content-area literacy, building on a decade of research and responding to the implications of high-stakes testing.</li> <li> Connects to current concerns about adolescent literacy, offering ways for educators to understand essential distinctions between knowledge and information. </li> <li> Treats new literacies in the digital-age classroom as an essential context for teaching and learning.</li> <li> Includes examples of instructional activities that will engage students in critical and creative thinking.</li>
