"This might well be THE contemporary manual for effective education
reform. In a world where the future is now, schools are falling
behind. It is a lag we can no longer afford." -Sean M. Nosek,
Principal Westview Secondary School, Maple Ridge, BC, Canada "This
is the most important book about high schools since Breaking Ranks
for school facilities planners." -David E. Anstrand, Principal,
Education Environment Planning Consultants Board Member, Council of
Educational Facility Planners International Discover options for
instruction and school design that reflect the needs of
21st-century students! Preparing students to meet the demands of a
constantly changing, technology-driven environment presents today's
educators with unique challenges. This innovative resource
demonstrates how traditional, industrial-type high schools have
become outdated and helps school leaders plan facilities and
curriculum in ways that benefit students' academic development and
performance. Teaching the Digital Generation examines how educators
can address the learning needs of secondary students immersed in a
digital world by designing and implementing new instructional
models and technology infrastructure. The authors explore ten
alternative high school models that address 21st-century skills
such as critical thinking, problem solving, and digital literacy,
and pose five critical considerations: What should instruction and
learning look like in a 21st-century school? How can technology
foster this kind of learning? What noninstructional components are
required? How can time be used differently to support our vision?
How can new facility design turn this vision into reality?
Incorporating issues of facility design with curriculum and
instructional planning, the authors offer educational leaders a new
vision for schools.
