Synopsis

Wanted for the global workforce: thinkers (and those who can teach them)

Where K-12 instruction once centered on content and memorization, today’s educators want, most of all, to teach their students to think critically and perceptively. What better way than with project-based learning (PBL)? Author Todd Stanley provides a teacher-friendly, step-by-step approach to implementing PBL, showing readers how to:

• Use project and classroom management skills to create a positive, productive learning environment
• Develop curriculum around ten different project types
• Link projects with today’s standards
• Teach students how to effectively collaborate and bring out the best in each other

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Todd Stanley, a National Board Certified Teacher, has been in the classroom for 15 years. He spent the early years of his career compacting gifted curriculum in a junior high program called Horizons. He went on to work as a facilitator at the Christopher Program, a project-based, interdisciplinary program for juniors and seniors from around central Ohio. He then created the Ivy Program, a gifted pull-out program for third and fourth graders. He also traveled around Ohio presenting on the Literacy Curriculum Alignment Program, training school staff members how to write short-cycle assessments, align their curriculum, and enrich students′ learning experiences.

For the past 5 years, he has been teaching project-based learning to fifth and sixth grade gifted students and will open a new program next year involving fifth to eighth graders that includes vertical articulation, inquiry-based learning, and of course, project-based learning. He has taught at summer camps for gifted students, spending several years at the Summer Institute for the Gifted before moving on to his current position with the Ohio Wesleyan University Junior League. He received his master′s degree from The Ohio State University. He is currently a gifted intervention specialist with Reynoldsburg City Schools and lives in Pickerington, Ohio with his wife, Nicki and two daughters, Anna and Abby.
