Removing labels, grades K-12 : 40 techniques to disrupt negative expectations about students and schools / Dominique Smith, Douglas Fisher, and Nancy Frey.
In order to teach students, we need to first acknowledge the labels that come with them into the classroom - and we need to find ways to eradicate those labels by disrupting our implicit biases and assumptions, then working to build relationships with students. (In fact, John Hattie's research states that NOT labeling students has a positive effect size of .61.) This book presents 40 teaching techniques for disrupting the negative affects of labels and assumptions, with suggestions for individual actions, classroom actions, and schoolwide actions. Educators K-12 will appreciate the guidance offered here and will be able to implement these strategies immediately and over time.
