In "Shifting the Balance", Jan Burkins and Kari Yates give teachers the information, classroom examples, and tools to help you make the best possible decisions around six key shifts for instruction. After reviewing the misunderstandings, the science, and the needs of your students, you will be able to check your current practices (individually, in a PLC, or system-widw) to provide responsive and effective literacy learning for all your students.
