Produktinformationen zu „Schools for All Kinds of Minds (ePub)“
This book shows how schools can--and must--develop expertise
in "learning variation" (understanding how different kinds of minds
learn) and apply this knowledge to classroom instruction in order
to address the chronic learning challenges and achievement gap
faced by millions of students. Barringer shows how using what we
know about learning variation with a focus on discovering learning
strengths, not just deficits, can help schools create plans
for success for those students who often find it elusive. The book
specifically addresses how school leaders can incorporate this
knowledge into instructional practice and school-level policy
through various professional development strategies.
Schools for All Kinds of Minds:
* Provides a readable synthesis of the latest research from
neuroscience, cognitive science, and child and adolescent
development as it relates to understanding learning and its many
variations.
* Links this information to strategies for understanding
struggling learners and adapting school practices to accommodate a
wider array of learning differences in a classroom.
* Demonstrates how this understanding of learning variation can
change the way teachers and others help students succeed in various
academic and content areas and acquire necessary 21st century
skills.
* Includes discussion questions and facilitator guidelines for
staff developers and teacher education programs; downloadable forms
that accompany exercises from within the book; an action plan for
schools to implement the ideas found in the book; and more.
