This book provides the research and resources educators need to help students take ownership of their learning. It fosters students curiosity about their environment and it allows them to explore and become life-long learners.
This book gives a nice overview of how to plan for and implement Concept-Based learning into the elementary classroom. Additionally, it provides practical examples and ideas that any educator can take and implement into his or her classroom immediately.
The practical strategies and examples supported by manageable theoretical information is exactly what teachers need to begin to take the steps that feel so difficult for many teachers who cant visualize what it would look like in their classrooms.
This is an important book for all teachers. We need to be honoring our students as thinkers who deserve developmentally appropriate intellectual rigor in the classroom. We will not achieve this in our traditional coverage-based classroom. I am so inspired and cant wait to start this journey (making mistakes and learning along the way!).
This is the book that teachers who have been trying to implement Concept-Based teaching and learning have been waiting for. The research-based lesson frameworks create a clear and doable plan for teachers at any grade or content level. This book is a must for any instructional coach or curriculum writer.
