This richly detailed description and analysis of exemplary
teaching in the primary grades looks at how a teacher establishes
her classroom as a collaborative learning community, how she plans
curriculum and instruction that features powerful ideas and
applications to life outside of school, and how, working within
this context, she motivates her students to learn with a sense of
purpose and thoughtful self-regulation. The supporting analyses,
which ground the teacher s practice in principles from curriculum
and instruction, educational psychology, and related sources of
relevant theory and research, are designed to allow teacher-readers
to develop coherent understanding and appreciation of the
subtleties of her practice and how they can be applied to their own
practice.
Resulting from a lengthy collaboration among an educational
psychologist, a social studies educator, and a classroom teacher,
the aspects and principles of good teaching this book details are
widely applicable across elementary schools, across the curriculum,
and across the primary grade levels. To help readers understand the
principles and adapt them to their particular teaching situations,
an Appendix provides reflection questions and application
activities.
