Quatrième de couverture :

This book is focused on helping educators design effective instruction that successfully addresses the individual and shared learning needs of the diverse population of students in today’s dynamic, fast-paced, technology-driven, global society. In it the authors show when and how to use the unprecendented variety of powerful teaching resources available, and how to coordinate their use to best prepare students for the education and workforce demands in their futures.

 

The authors emphasize the teacher’s role as an educational designer who approaches instructional planning with intention, uses knowledge of specialized systematic processes to identify and frame instructional challenges related to learners and content, and competently addresses those challenges by skillfully applying a broad repertoire of instructional models, strategies, and technologies.

• Part I explains the ways in which functioning as an educational designer leads to more successful teaching.
• Part II presents 10 powerful, proven models of teaching and demonstrates how they can be transformed for new relevance in the digital era and used to address the challenges of 21 st century teaching.

From the Foreword by Carol Ann Tomlinson….

"A book like this one creates in me a sense of longing to begin my work as a teacher again armed with its insights… How much more purposeful might my instructional choices have been… How many more students might I have reached if someone had illustrated for me how to attend to students’ learning differences as I planned lessons?  And how much more motivating might the learning opportunities I created for my students have been had there also been opportunity and guidance for using contemporary technologies to engage my students’ thinking, and my own? I’d sign up in an instant to go back to that first year and begin again if I could take that sort of knowledge with me."
