Your single-best way to nurture higher-order thinking
With all the pressure to accelerate instruction, how can we possibly find the time to encourage students to do some serious thinking? With Facilitating Authentic Learning, Laura Thomas provides the answer: through constructivist, experiential teaching methods. Grade 6—12 teachers will learn how to:
• Plan learning experiences that teach content and process at the same time
• Assess students' development of 21st-century skills
• Coach students to do the hard work of authentic learning while providing support
• Teach reflection techniques that help students learn from experiences and mistakes
