Publisher's summary

Two teachers. Two classrooms.
One school year.

180 Days represents the collaboration of two master teachers - Kelly Gallagher and Penny Kittle - over an entire school year: planning, teaching, and reflecting within their own and each other's classrooms in California and New Hampshire. Inspired by a teacher's question, "How do you fit it all in?" they identified and prioritized the daily, essential, belief-based practices that are worth spending time on. They asked, "Who will these students be as readers and writers after a year under our care?"

What we make time for matters: what we plan, how we revise our plans while teaching, and how we reflect and decide what's next. The decision-making in the moment is the most essential work of teaching, and it's the ongoing study of the adolescents in front of us that has the greatest impact on our thinking.

With both the demands of time and the complexity of diverse students in mind, Kelly and Penny mapped out a year of engaging literacy practices aligned to their core beliefs about what matters most. They share their insights on managing time and tasks and offer teaching strategies for engaging students in both whole class and independent work.

180 Days. Make every moment matter. Teach fearlessly. Empower all students to live literate lives.

Required Reading for Humanities Educators

Gallagher and Kittle show readers how to implement inquiry into their lessons and whole school planning.
Relevancy. Well written. Packed with power. This book’s ideas and wisdom are valued at 3-5 credits. A wonderful book that delivers way above its value.

Annoyed

I usually buy audiobooks to accompany the books I have to read for school. I bought this particular audiobook to use alongside my reading. However, that's not feasible. Strangely, the creators decided to structure the audio in a way that it jumps between different sections of the book. For instance, after listening to Chapter 1, it suddenly skips to the middle of Chapter 4. The audio doesn't provide any indication of this. If your plan is to read along with the book, I would advise against purchasing this audiobook.
