A framework for weaving common threads into an artful solution
Rather than buying individual books about professional learning
communities (PLCs), differentiated instruction (DI), and Response
to Intervention (RTI), invest wisely in one resource that
synthesizes all three. The text uses a tapestry analogy to weave
these critical topics together to form a comprehensive framework
for achieving continuous school improvement. The result is a
stronger foundation for administrators' leadership direction and
teachers' instructional decisions based on: - Utilizing PLCs as the
framework for sharing new strategies and understandings -
Discussing data collected through assessments - Evaluating data
against benchmarks Included are walk-through checklists,
learning-style surveys, examples, and vignettes that illustrate
practical strategies for integrating DI and RTI and collaborating
with colleagues to assess student learning and adapt instruction
and interventions. This timely resource efficiently provides all
the information you need to optimize instruction for outstanding
results.
"The authors are sensitive to the constraints that operate on
teachers even as they are open to ways in which teachers can
refashion their classes and curricula to reach more children in
more effective ways. This book will help teachers enliven and
enrich their classrooms and forge new connections across concepts
and curricula." -From the Foreword by Howard Gardner "On the one
hand, teachers and other curriculum workers are held accountable
for understanding, organizing, implementing, and designing
instruction and assessing standards-based outcomes. On the other
hand, they are also being admonished to teach for understanding,
thinking skills, enduring learning, cooperative learning, multiple
intelligences, individual differences, and developmental levels.
This book provides a wealth of delightful, creative, and compelling
strategies, lessons, and techniques for making sense of these many
diverse theories." -Arthur L. Costa, Professor Emeritus California
State University, Sacramento Develop powerful instructional tools
that target diverse learning needs! In this unique and practical
book, authors Robin Fogarty and Judy Stoehr demonstrate an approach
for creating integrated curricula that develop higher-order
thinking, mindful decision making, and productive problem-solving
skills in all students. This second edition provides planning
methods for interactive lessons and strategies for implementing
"big ideas" or themes. Offering voices from academia and the
classroom, this research-based volume: Provides strategies for
building collaborative teacher teams Presents a six-step process
for developing thematic learning units Highlights ways to thread
life skills throughout the curriculum Describes types of
assessments for integrated curricula This insightful handbook
emphasizes a learner-centered, interdisciplinary approach and
holistic, experiential learning that leads to lifelong skills and
equal opportunities for all children to succeed.
Integrating Curricula With Multiple Intelligences combines
Gardner's nine multiple intelligences (verbal, logical, musical,
visual, bodily, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, and
existentialist) with Fogarty's ten curriculum integration models
(fragmented, connected, nested, sequenced, shared, webbed,
threaded, integrated, immersed, and networked). The authors offer
strategies for building teams and professional learning
communities, exploring how to put power into themes, and ways to
thread life skills through the subject matter content. This unique
and practical book includes cooperative structures for interactive
lessons, strategies for developing relevant integrated units, ideas
for webbing themes to the intelligences, methods that infuse rigor
into thematic units, and much more.
Formerly a SkyLight publication.Written by leading voices in the
field, these carefully selected articles offer a deeper
understanding of the multifaceted concept of curricular
integration.
