Help students move from surface-level learning to the transfer of
understanding. How do social studies teachers maximize instruction
to ensure students are prepared for an informed civic life? VISIBLE
LEARNING (R) for Social Studies, Grades K-12 shows how the field is
more than simply memorizing dates and facts-it encapsulates the
skillful ability to conduct investigations, analyze sources, place
events in historical context, and synthesize divergent points of
view. The Visible Learning framework demonstrates that learning is
not an event, but rather a process in which students move from
surface-level learning to deep learning, and then onto the transfer
of concepts, skills, and strategies. Encouraging learners to
explore different facets of society, history, geography, and more,
best practices for applying visible learning to social studies
curriculum are presented through: * A scaffolded approach,
including surface-level learning, deep learning, and transfer of
learning * Examples of strategies, lessons, and activities best
suited for each level of learning * Planning tools, rubrics, and
templates to guide instruction Teachers must understand the impact
they have on students and select approaches to maximize that
impact. This book will guide you through the process of identifying
the right strategy for the right time to successfully move students
through surface, deep, and transfer learning.
"It is a pleasure to have a full length treatise on this most
important topic, and may this focus on transfer become much more
debated, taught, and valued in our schools." - John Hattie Teach
students to use their learning to unlock new situations. How do you

you do it without exhausting yourself? Teachers need a framework
that allows them to keep pace with our rapidly changing world

establishing assessment targets, and planning curriculum and

challenging situations. Key features include Thinking prompts to
spur reflection and inform curricular planning and design. Next-day
strategies that offer tips for practical, immediate action in the
classroom. Design steps that outline critical moments in creating
curriculum for learning that transfers. Links to case studies,

educators. A companion website that hosts templates, planning
guides, and flexible options for adapting current curriculum
documents. Using a framework that combines standards and the best
available research on how we learn, design curriculum and
instruction that prepares your students to meet the challenges of

Teaching overly-factual content to young students is misguided: it
is developmentally inappropriate, and ignores what we know about
how children naturally learn. We can and should view all children
as thinking beings, creating ideal environments for them to make
sense of the world while being very careful to protect their
inherent love of learning. This book teaches a concept-based
curriculum in a way that respects the developmental stages of
childhood with intellectual rigour. Infants rapidly develop their
understanding of concepts such as hot and cold, happy and sad, in
and out, and at three years old, they begin their characteristic,
persistent questioning: "Why? Why? Why?" By following this natural
tendency, the book's approach cultivates their conceptual
understanding in a gentle manner that honours their innate
curiosity.
This book serves as a road map for Concept-Based teaching. Teachers
will discover how to help students uncover conceptual relationships
and transfer them to new situations. This includes strategies for
introducing conceptual learning to students, how to assess
conceptual understanding and how to differentiate concept-based
instruction. For deep learning and innovative thinking, this book
is the place to start.
