Strategies for Great Teaching: Maximize Learning Moments - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This exciting, practical guide offers teachers easy-to-implement strategies that help students draw personal meaning from the curriculum. Filled with great tips for engaging learners, this book is a must for any teacher. The authors show how a variety of strategies?cooperative learning, direct instruction, inquiry, reflective writing, and experimentation?can be used to help learners bond with the content.

Consider this a teacher-friendly guidebook for creating moments of genuine student understanding and comprehension. For example, this book offers lessons in which students:

• play the part of television reporters, interviewing other students about content they have learned;
• create visually complex pictures and graphs to represent information or concepts;
• use mathematical symbols to capture their understanding of relationship and events inherent in the content; and
• play a classroom version of the old television game show, "The $10,000 Pyramid," to identify patterns and seek meaning.
