Focus on Thinking - Engaging Educators in Higher-Order Thinking (Paperback): Paul A. Wagner, Daphne Johnson, Frank Fair, Daniel... Focus on Thinking - Engaging Educators in Higher-Order Thinking (Paperback)
Paul A. Wagner, Daphne Johnson, Frank Fair, Daniel Fasko
R632 Discovery Miles 6 320 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In the wake of initiatives such as No Child Left Behind and the use of high-stakes testing, the emphasis in schools has been on drill and practice for the test. Genuine understanding and critical thinking have been increasingly shortchanged. As a result, students have fewer opportunities to advance their insight into cognitive and emotional challenges, even though both teachers and parents recognize the importance of developing deliberative and reflective thinking skills. This book uniquely combines two things. First, it provides resources for classroom teachers in middle and secondary school that make it possible to, at a moment's notice, take advantage of a teachable moment by drawing students into productive intellectual discussions. Second, it gives the reader an overview of the rationale and the research base for engaging students in educational activities that are truly intellectual and that are not limited to training for testing success.

Family and School: Daphne Johnson, Elizabeth Ransom Family and School

R2,739 Discovery Miles 27 390 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Originally published in 1983, this book offers a perspective on the secondary school years from the standpoint at home. In the early 1980s as now, there was no shortage of advice to parents on how they should bring up their children, and what their relationship should be with the schools their children attended. More rarely heard was the parent’s voice of experience on the stages of family life and how the children’s school life is seen from the family point of view. The purpose of this book was to urge reconsideration of taken-for-granted assumptions about the appropriate relationship between home and secondary school. It can be read today in its historical context.
