Description
Teaching for Deeper Learning: Tools to Engage Students in Meaning Making offers practical strategies for educators to foster students' ability to respond to challenges. Jay McTighe and Harvey F. Silver propose teaching students to make meaning for themselves, equipping them with the skills to thrive in school, at work, and in life. The authors highlight seven higher-order thinking skills that facilitate students' acquisition of information, providing tools and strategies to help teachers target each skill in the classroom. This comprehensive guide explains how to incorporate these skills into lesson and unit design, as well as build students' capacity to use them independently. By engaging students in deeper learning, educators can prepare them for the rigorous demands of school, college, and career, yielding enduring understanding and valuable skills that last a lifetime.
