Product Description
Deficit thinking refers to the notion that students, particularly low income minority students, fail in school because they and their families experience deficiencies that obstruct the leaning process (e.g. limited intelligence, lack of motivation, inadequate home socialization). Tracing the evolution of deficit thinking, the authors debunk the pseudo-science and offer more plausible explanations of why students fail. ... Read more

BECOMING A MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER IN TEXAS helps students master the competencies that will be tested on the new Pedagogy and Professsional Responsibilities (PPR) Texas Examination of Educator Standards (TExES), but it is more than just a test preparation guide: it provides a comprehensive introduction to the core topics that every Texas middle school and high school teacher must be familiar with, including adolescent development, how to meet the needs of a culturally-diverse population, planning, learning theory, technology, classroom management and assessment. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent prep book for the PPR 4-8, 8-12 exam
In preparing for the TEXES PPR, I used a couple of prep books, and of all of them, this was the most comprehensive in terms of information. It is also well-organized and addresses all four domains. Under each domain, the competencies are addressed, e.g.:
Domain I (Designing Instruction and Assessment to Promote Student Learning):
Competency 1
Competency 2
Competency 3
Competency 4

Domain II (Establishing a Positive Classroom Climate)
Competency 5
Competency 6

Domain III (Implementing Effective, Responsive Instruction and Assessment)
Competency 7
Competency 8
Competency 9
Competency 10

Domain IV (Fulfilling Professional Roles and Responsibilities)
Competency 11
Competency 12
Competency 13

Each chapter provides an in-depth discussion of key terms correlating with the domains and competencies. For example, Chapter 1 discusses the theories of growth and development as relating to middle school and high school students. Each chapter also ends with a summary of main ideas, a glossary, suggested activities, practice PPR questions, web links, and references. The theories and core competencies covered are extremely detailed, making this a must-have resource in preparing for the 4-8 and 8-12 PPR exam. I would advise allocating between 1-2 months in order to gain the maximum benefit from this book and in preparing for the PPR exam. The book can also be used as an invaluable resource for beginning middle school/ high school teachers and educators in general.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not just about the test but also teaching methods, laws etc.
If you are serious about becoming a great teacher, then you should read this book.It is not just a study prep but a great book on pedagogy, laws related to teaching, testing theories, development theories, discipline techniques....and so much more.

I just finished a Master's degree in Education and I'm still learning so much from this book.It has complete and in-depth chapters on each of the 13 competencies and also a final chapter on test taking skills for the 4-8, 8-12 PPR test.

This is the kind of reference you can use even after you pass the test!

5-0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!
If you are in an alternative certification program, this is a MUST have to start your career as a teacher. Wong's book is a must-have, as is this one. My first year of teaching, I used this book so frequently, it's become a bible to me.

5-0 out of 5 stars One -stop detailed review.
This book gives the most comprehensive preparatory review that I have seen.I am getting ready for TEXES, and I bought just about everything Amazon has on the subject.Most of the books provide a very brief summary of the competencies and go straight to the practice exams.Not this one!In fact, there is no practice exam anywhere in the book, but each chapter (organized based on competencies) has review questions at the end.Each competency is explained with application to middle and high school students. The book has definitions, examples, extensive bibliography at the end of each chapter and suggested activities that you can do in order to master the concepts.I can't say enough good things about this book.I have been out of school for years, and I was looking to something that would give me a nice refresher course in Pedagogy.But I also wanted to have more in-depth, detailed explanation of terms and concepts, and I got it here.

Start with this book if you are getting ready for your TEXES, and then move on to the other study guides.This is your textbook!

4-0 out of 5 stars Becoming a Middle School Teacher - Made a Little Easier
This book is one of a very few that gives valuable information about the PPR TExES test for middle and high school teachers.It specifically deals with each of the 13 competencies and provides lots of samples and review questions.It's definitely worth the investment, something I can't say about most test-prep books.This one actually has information about good teaching, not just test info. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A book that goes beyond test prep
If you're looking for a quick way to pass the ExCET, this isn't the book for you. If you're willing to put in some time and really read, analyze, and discuss the passages in this book, then you may be on the right track. "Becoming a Teaching in Texas" isn't going to pass the ExCET for you, but it will give you an excellent structure in which to think about the way you've handled classroom situations in the past and the way you will teach in the future. I received this book as part of the $3000+ Project PACE program in Region One. This book was worth more than all of the workshops and Blackboard courses combined. ... Read more

"LeClercq can be read generally for an education or consulted specifically for an answer. In either case, her short and readable articles are practical aids to maintaining your intelligibility and, frankly, your credibility."--Lynn N. Hughes, United States District Judge"Drop what you're doing and get a copy of Terri LeClercq's book. Read it, absorb it, and use it daily. Your writing and your thinking will improve. Ms. LeClercq will rid you of the dense, hidebound jargon you were taught in law school, and introduce you to the wonderful world of clarity and brevity."--Mark Weiss, Senior Administrative Law JudgeFor ten years, Terri LeClercq's "Legal Writing" column in the Texas Bar Journal has helped polish the prose of lawyers and law students, judges and clerks, paralegals, writing instructors, and legal secretaries. This book collects all the advice she has given in her columns into one authoritative guide for expert legal writing. LeClercq covers everything a legal writer needs to know, from the mechanics of grammar and punctuation to the finer points of style, organization, and clarity of meaning. With her practical, readable, and often humorous advice, those who prepare legal documents can rid their prose of mind-numbing "legalese" and write with the clarity and precision that characterize the very best legal writing. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars This is the book for you if you practice law!
"Expert Legal Writing" is exactly what the cover proclaims; a book to help you become the best legal writer you can become. Every lawyer could use the author's advice to improve their own writing and to helpmentor associates or colleagues.The book covers the basics:1) writinglike a lawyer, 2) overcoming writer's block, 3) managing sentencestructure(s), 4) handling punctuation (including common myths), and 5)othervaluable foundational writing tools.This book also offers extremelyhelpful advice on legal organizations and deductive reasoning.Short (191pages), this book can provide the quick assistance you need when you arepuzzled (overwhelmed or just stuck) on how to write the very best legalargument.

4-0 out of 5 stars How to write Law the correct way
"Expert Legal Writing" is a fairly rounded yet in depth guide on how to write legal documents. It has all the key elements which would be expected in such a book; such as how to do it, how long should the documentbe etc. It lends itself to being a little boring but the tutorial typemanner of the book is a hard aspect to make entertaining. I enjoyed thebook not so much for what it told me about law but more so for the fact itshowed me how to prepare my very own legal documents. This is a great bookfor people interested in preparing quality homemade legal documents. Thereason I gave it such a generous 4/5 stars was because in my case it taughtme a lot of valuable information on a subject I was fairly interested in(Law and Legal Documentation). I myself have a few other books followingthe same line but "Expert Legal Writing" is definitely the mostinformative and intuitive book. Overall an excellent book if you have anyinterest in learning the know how's of legal document writing. ... Read more

Product Description
In the famous Brown v. the Board of Education decisions of 1954 and 1955, the United States Supreme Court ruled that "separate but equal" schools for black and white students were unconstitutional. Yet history records that it took more than a decade of legal battles, civil rights protests, and, tragically, violent confrontations before black students gained full access to previously white schools. Mansfield, Texas, a small community southeast of Fort Worth, was the scene of an early school integration attempt. In this book, Robyn Duff Ladino draws on interviews with surviving participants, media reports, and archival research to provide the first full account of the Mansfield school integration crisis of 1956. Ladino explores how power politics at the local, state, and federal levels ultimately prevented the integration of Mansfield High School in 1956. Her research sheds new light on the actions of Governor Allan Shivers--who, in the eyes of the segregationists, actually validated their cause by his political actions--and it underscores President Dwight Eisenhower's public passivity toward civil rights during his first term of office. Despite the short-term failure, however, the Mansfield school integration crisis helped pave the way for the successful integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1957. Thus, it deserves a permanent place in the history of the civil rights movement, which this book amply provides. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Primer for Taking the Teacher's Test in Texas...
Hate to say I knew it all, but this title didn't help me. But, it's not to say that it wouldn't help someone else trying to be a teacher in Texas.

5-0 out of 5 stars BEST EC-4 PPR BOOK EVER!!
I took that EC-4 PPR on 4/4/2009 and passed with a 279!I am by no means a "test taker" (meaning, that test taking does NOT come naturally for me, I am one of those people that absolutely have to do A LOT of studying to pass a test). This book had a lot of great practice questions. It is 400 pages which is a lot to read because the pages are a little bigger than regular pages. It took me about 1 1/2 months to go through the whole book, I am pretty sure that it may take others less, but 1 month is the average study time frame you should take when studying for the PPR, especially with this book (since its 400 pages).But let's not forget that I studied every single day...no seriously, every day!Another tool that I used, that also helped was a EC-4 PPR software by Certify Teacher (go to www.certifyteacher.com) I used this software along with reading the book "Becoming and EC-4 Teacher in Texas" and it really helped!Good luck!
