Learners in today's classrooms face unique challenges that were unimagined even one generation ago.
Word & Deed Publishing is dedicated to providing resources for educators seeking to address challenges and inequities so that every learner can reach their full potential. We see schools as places where all children must receive equitable opportunities for success and where the status quo must be challenged.
Our focus on equity and social justice helps educators meet the needs of today's diverse school environments. Our resources can support all educators with making significant changes in the lives of students and their families.
In their original and creative style, Wander and Cheney engage us in meaningful reflections about teaching and learning by which we might gain useful insights into students' learning needs, concerns, interests, and aspirations. Aptly titled, Amplifying Our Practice, the authors demonstrate how conversations with a diversity of teaching colleagues, and sharing knowledge and experiences, might serve to "amplify" the teaching practices of elementary teachers. Indeed, who else is best able to provide meaningful insights and relevant advice about ways to construct culturally responsive learning materials, pedagogical approaches, and helpful assessment from which we can all (not just elementary teachers) learn? With useful examples, these award-winning teachers have produced a really inspiring resource for teachers and parents.
