Classroom-tested strategies to inspire true student learning Meet Every Learner's Needs delivers research-backed techniques to transform classrooms into dynamic learning environments in which all students are appropriately challenged--and appropriately supported--every day. Based on teacher and Modern Classrooms Project cofounder Robert Barnett's experience training thousands of teachers worldwide, this book provides a methodology for K-12 educators to design lessons and courses that respond to individual learners' unique needs and help every learner develop authentic understanding. This approach has empowered educators and students in all grade levels and content areas, everywhere from underperforming inner-city public schools to elite international schools, across all fifty states and over 150 countries. The book includes highly practical tips and templates, which busy teachers can use to provide better instruction immediately. Throughout the book, readers will learn how to: Make direct instruction accessible and engaging to all learners Develop strong personal relationships with and between learners Create efficient learning experiences that give learners ownership and autonomy Share this approach with their colleagues and communities Meet Every Learner's Needs will leave readers both inspired and empowered to redesign instruction in their classrooms and communities. It will help educators, administrators, and parents take immediate action to create learning experiences that help all students truly succeed.

A unique approach to a core topic in organic chemistry presented by an experienced teacher to students and professionalsHeterocyclic rings are present in the majority of known natural products, contributing to enormous structural diversity. In addition, they often possess significant biological activity. Medicinal chemists have embraced this last property in designing most of the small molecule drugs in use today. This book offers readers a fundamental understanding of the basics of heterocyclic chemistry and their occurrence in natural products such as amino acids, DNA, vitamins, and antibiotics. Based on class lectures that the author has developed over more than 40 years of teaching, it focuses on the chemistry of such heterocyclic substances and how they differ from carbocyclic systems.Introductory Heterocyclic Chemistry offers in-depth chapters covering naturally occurring heterocycles; properties of aromatic heterocycles; pi-deficient heterocycles; pi-excessive heterocycles; and ring transformations of heterocycles. It then offers an overview of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions before finishing up with a back-to-basics section on nitriles and amidines.* Presents a conversational approach to a fundamental topic in organic chemistry teaching* Offers a unique look at this core organic chemistry topic via important naturally occurring and/or biologically active heterocycles* Based on the author's many years of class lectures for teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level as well as pharmaceutical-industry courses* Clear, concise, and accessible for advanced students of chemistry to gain a fundamental understanding of the basics of heterocyclic chemistryIntroductory Heterocyclic Chemistry is an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate students as well as chemists in industrial environments in chemistry, pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, and biology.

Readers are guided step by step through numerous specific problems and challenges, covering all aspects of electrostatics with an emphasis on numerical procedures. The author focuses on practical examples, derives mathematical equations, and addresses common issues with algorithms.

This comprehensive guide helps health care professionals use genetics in managing patients at risk for, or already diagnosed with, common cancers. It offers health care professionals a framework for counseling patients, families, and colleagues about the availability, benefits, and limitations of the new technologies for genetic risk assessment.
