Description
Learning That Lasts offers a new vision for classroom instruction that sharpens and deepens the quality of lessons in all subject areas. This practical guide presents a model of instruction that honors teachers as creative and expert planners of learning experiences, and who wish to continuously grow in their instructional and content knowledge.
The book is based on research from some of the nation's most successful public schools, which are beating the odds to create remarkable achievement in urban and rural low-income communities. Through case studies and examples of powerful learning at all grade levels and in all disciplines, Learning That Lasts provides a guide to creating classrooms that promote deeper understanding, higher order thinking, and student independence.
Readers will gain insight into inspiring classrooms where students go beyond basics to become innovators, collaborators, and creators. The book embraces a three-dimensional view of student achievement that includes mastery of knowledge and skills, character, and high-quality work, making it a valuable resource for teachers who wish to make learning more meaningful, memorable, and connected to life.
