by Emily Aierstok: "If you're like me you've tried everything from setting timers to creating carefully crafted rubrics to cut down on grading time. No matter the grading method, my school back full of student writing still glares at me from the corner of the kitchen every weekend, taunting me with the hours upon hours of work I have yet to conquer. However, I recently found the answer to my grading woes in an unexpected place: a standards-based learning conference presented by the guru himself, Rick Wormeli."

ILA Children's Choices 2017 Reading Lists
International Reading Association CHILDREN’S CHOICES 2017 Reading List
"When it comes to engaging students with reading, we know the importance of choice. We know that when students can select the books they want to read, with topics in which they are truly interested, they are more likely not only to read them, but also to understand and to reflect upon them. With that in mind, we are delighted to bring to you the 2017 Choices Reading Lists—Children’s Choices, Teachers’ Choices, and Young Adults’ Choices. These highly anticipated lists come just in time, whether you’re looking to squeeze in some summer reading of your own or with your children, to build up your classroom library for the fall, or to add new favorites to your curriculum. The best part is these annual lists are chosen by students and educators themselves, so you know they will please children from our youngest readers to our most selective teenagers. We know this because choice matters—and it can make all the difference."
