Classrooms are systems, schools are systems, and schooling in the
United States is a big system. Changing any of those systems
requires an awareness of how they work; what they produce; and
where to apply time, energy, and resources. Current systems could
be much better in meeting students' current and future needs.
Student Relevance Matters: Why Do I Have to Know this Stuff? aims
to clarify the most intrinsic reasons to learn, thereby bridging
the gap between content and meeting student needs. This allows for
compelling visions, and visions are the seed of learning. This book
describes current classrooms, students, and the relationships
between them through systems viewpoints one positive and the other
skeptical that they are working as effectively as they might. Each
content area is viewed through a lens of deep purpose and how that
meets students' needs in timeframes that work best for students.
Using those purposes as lenses, knowledge areas are redefined and
skills provided to help make those purposes a reality in classrooms
today.
