Description
Learning That Transfers: A Practical Guide to Curriculum Design for a Changing World This comprehensive guide empowers teachers and curriculum designers to harness traditional disciplines' critical concepts while equipping students with the skills to navigate, interpret, and apply their learning in novel situations. By using a backwards design approach, educators can create curricula that facilitate transferable learning, enabling students to tackle complex modern problems. The book provides practical strategies for immediate action in the classroom, as well as templates, planning guides, and flexible options for adapting current curriculum documents. With its focus on transferable learning, this guide offers a valuable framework for teachers seeking to keep pace with our rapidly changing world without exhausting themselves. A companion website hosts additional resources, including case studies, discipline-specific examples, and podcast interviews with educators, further supporting the practical application of the concepts presented in Learning That Transfers.
