Books by Nancy Frey

With the right planning and support, dynamic collaborative learning can thrive everywhere. In this book, educators Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Almarode explain how to create and sustain student learning communities.

A teacher presents a lesson, and at the end asks students if they understand the material. The students nod and say they get it. Later, the teacher is dismayed when many of the students fail a test on the material. Why aren't students getting it? And, just as important, why didn't the teacher recognise the problem?

This book shows how teachers can help students develop stronger learning skills by ensuring that their literacy moves from modeling and guided practice to collaborative learning, and independent tasks

This book gives teachers an understanding of the research behind visual literacy, and ideas for putting it into practice in their classrooms. It is ideal for any teacher wanting to incorporate film, comics, internet, or any other visual media into their teaching.
