Growing Strong Teachers

Study Driven is truly an authentic approach to writing instruction. It will help you organize your literacy instruction in a way that makes perfect sense! The reading/writing connection will become very clear to kids as they use the inquiry process to study writing.  This resource has transformed the way Malinda views reading and writing.

Feeling like your own math knowledge and understanding could use a tune-up? Math Matters is the book to go to when you are feeling unsure of your own mathematical understanding. It will challenge you and cause you to re-think what it means to understand math.  It’s organized by content strands, which allows you to focus on one chapter at a time throughout the school year.  Well worth the challenging read!

These are Malinda’s “go-to” books for all around math instruction. Not only will they provide you with ideas and activities for the classroom, but they will help deepen your understanding of the math you teach. They are truly top notch resources for any K-8 teacher. Choose the copy that is just for you K-3, 3-5 or 5-8.  Your book will soon be dog-eared and you may even want two copies… one for home, and one for school!

A great daily resource to help develop your students mental math computation strategies.  The book includes a DVD to watch Number Talks in action across many grade levels.  Malinda loves this book!  Check out what else Malinda has to say on the Growing Strong Teachers FaceBook page.
