Teaching Advanced Skills to At-risk Students: Views from Research and Practice (Jossey Bass Education Series) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This new book presents six concrete, realizable instructional models for teaching educationally disadvantaged students such advanced skills as reading comprehension, written composition, and mathematical reasoning. Using practical classroom approaches from the nation's leading researchers in advanced-skills instruction, the authors show how students from at-risk backgrounds, can become fully literate - acquiring the ability to use language and think and communicate at the highest level. The authors show why the current compensatory education programs, which teach only isolated lower-level skills, hinder rather than help the learning process of disadvantaged students. And they explain how to replace those programs with more integrated classroom instruction that builds on the strengths and intellectual accomplishments that all young children bring to school. By using instructional models and curricular ideas that have long been accepted as appropriate for teaching gifted, educationally advantaged, or older students, the authors show teachers, policymakers, and curriculum designers how to create new, more challenging educational experiences for all learners - advantaged and disadvantaged, young and old alike.
