About Good Reading Second Hand Books Victoria, Australia

Specialising in: Theology
Biblio member since 2008

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including a large selection of books in French and German, most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.

Terms of Sale:

30 day return guarantee, with full refund including original shipping costs for up to 30 days after delivery if an item arrives misdescribed or damaged.

From the publisher

Since the publication of the first edition, the use of protocols has spread from conferences and workshops to everyday school and university settings. Responding to educators' ongoing needs, this new edition features seven totally new protocols. This teaching and professional development tool is essential for anyone working with collaborative groups of teachers on everything from school improvement to curriculum development to teacher education at all levels. Featuring a diverse selection of protocols, this book includes:

  • Step-by-step descriptions of how educators can use protocols to study together, work on problems of practice, teach well, and explore students' work.
  • Explanations of the particular purpose for each protocol, discussions of the value that educators have found in using them, and helpful tips for facilitators.
  • A free supplement on the Teachers College Press website with "Abbreviated Protocols" that can be downloaded and customized to suit each facilitator's needs.

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITON!

"The Power of Protocols embeds powerful, inquiry-oriented professional learning tools within a high-performance workplace to enable schools to successfully teach all students to high standards."

--Dennis Sparks, Executive Director, National Staff Development Council

"This book offers creative yet practical paths to professional growth that can improve the practice of teachers and the collaborative growth of a whole faculty."

-- Robert Evans, author of The Human Side of School Change

"I found the idea of protocols and their suggested application to be well conceived and articulated by the authors." -- NASSP Bulletin

"I deeply appreciate the way this guide helped to enlarge my understanding of protocols and deepen my sense of their efficiency in teaching practice."

--Horace, Quarterly Journal of CES

"I was persuaded by colleagues to give the protocols at least a chance. And what a revelation they proved to be!"

-- Harris Sarney, High School Principal

"Using provocative texts and a variety of protocols is one way to hold ourselves accountable to each other and accountable for the success of our students."

-- Camilla Greene, Professional Developer

"Using a simple protocol, students speak in turn, first describing the work and then offering interpretive observations. The benefits of using the protocol are immediately evident."

--Eric Baylin, Teacher
