"This book is comprehensive, rich and engaging. Quality teaching
follows from quality planning, and this is the resource you need
for cutting-edge curriculum design." -Lynn Erickson, Curriculum
Consultant Mill Creek, WA "I am delighted to incorporate this book
into my graduate courses as I train teachers to design instruction
that guides students through rigorous and authentic learning."
-Thomas P. Hebert, Professor Department of Educational Psychology,
University of Georgia, Athens, GA A powerful model for linking
student learning to the world How would classrooms be different if
curriculum could be qualitatively differentiated so that learners
not only accumulate information, but also experience the power of
knowledge? The empirically based Parallel Curriculum Model shows
teachers how to create a meaningful, emotive, and engaging
curriculum that helps children apply what they learn to their
lives. Each chapter offers specific unit and lesson plans created
by master elementary teachers that can be put into practice
immediately. Included are field-tested and standards-based
strategies that: Focus on parallel themes in literacy, science,
mathematics, and social studies Help students deepen knowledge,
think metaphorically, solve problems, and identify with subject
matter Challenge all learners according to their interests and
abilities Create authentic, joyful, and active student involvement
All students should have the opportunity to benefit from
multi-faceted learning experiences and this inspiring book gives
educators the methods to make it happen. The text is rich with
vignettes, visuals, samples, reproducibles, and assessment tools.
