"Follow the science." How often have you picked up an education
book to read how, according to the authors, the system is broken,
failing, and flailing-but their ideas for fixing it will bring
about a miraculous transformation? That's not the approach of this
volume. Sure, the editors believe that our system of education
could achieve significantly better results. But they also recognize
that schools have gotten better over time. One explanation is the
progress schools have made in "following the science". Especially
in early reading and math instruction, scholars know more now about
what works than we did in the past, and more schools are putting
that knowledge into practice. Now, in the wake of a horrific
pandemic, even the best elementary schools are struggling to help
their students get their momentum back again. In this book, the
editors share high-quality syntheses of evidence and insights from
leading educators, academics, and other experts. And they
communicate those findings in user-friendly language, with an
understanding of the real-world complexities of schools and
classrooms.
Taking learning beyond the classroom, this comprehensive guide
explores every aspect of field trips--including how leaders can
establish and achieve sound learning goals, avoid headaches, and
thoughtfully prepare and follow up. Ideal for educators, group
leaders, and homeschoolers, this resource stresses the importance
of field trips as a means to develop lifelong learning skills,
increase personal responsibility, and expand world views. Short
field trips on school premises and in local neighborhoods are also
touted as excellent learning tools and solutions to dozens of
logistical issues such as safety, transportation, permissions,
chaperones, and meals are also presented.
