Description
This timely and accessible resource reveals how rethinking school curriculum and teaching for deep understanding can help students take control of their own learning. Organized in five parts, this text systematically uncovers how to: Advance student learning with research on powerful forms of instruction; foster metacognition in students and encourage them to take control of their own learning; extend learning from academic thinking to real-world application; learn how to instill a culture of deep understanding among students while still meeting specific achievement standards. Based on collaborative study and synergy between researchers and school practitioners--Teaching for Deep Understanding offers their combined advice on rethinking curriculum, specifically how to "teach for deep understanding."
