Far too often, our students attain only a superficial level of
knowledge that fails to prepare them for deeper challenges in
school and beyond. In Teaching for Deeper Learning, renowned
educators and best-selling authors Jay McTighe and Harvey F. Silver
propose a solution: teaching students to make meaning for
themselves. Contending that the ability to ""earn"" understanding
will equip students to thrive in school, at work, and in life, the
authors highlight seven higher-order thinking skills that
facilitate students' acquisition of information for greater
retention, retrieval, and transfer. These skills, which cut across
content areas and grade levels and are deeply embedded in current
academic standards, separate high achievers from their
low-performing peers. Drawing on their deep well of research and
experience, the authors: Explore what kind of content is worth
having students make meaning about. Provide practical tools and
strategies to help teachers target each of the seven thinking
skills in the classroom. Explain how teachers can incorporate the
thinking skills and tools into lesson and unit design. Show how
teachers can build students' capacity to use the strategies
independently. If our goal is to prepare students to meet the
rigorous demands of school, college, and career, then we must
foster their ability to respond to such challenges. This
comprehensive, practical guide will enable teachers to engage
students in the kind of learning that yields enduring understanding
and valuable skills that they can use throughout their lives.
