How do teachers and schools create meaningful learning experiences
for students with diverse skills, abilities, and cultures? How can
teachers authentically assess the learning of their students and
build on their strengths and interests in ways that enrich the
larger community? How can schools be turned into places where
everyone is learning from each other? These are the big questions
that guide the work of teachers at the well-known Mission Hill
School in Boston and that are addressed in this book. Teaching in
Themes will help schools incorporate a whole-school, theme-based
curriculum that engages students across grade levels K-8. The
authors provide detailed descriptions of four thematic units:
What's Baking in Kathy's Classroom?, The Impact of Nature and Play,
The Struggle for Justice: U.S. History Through the Eyes of
African-Americans, and Astronomical Inquiries. Readers will see how
teachers and students design "emergent inquiries" within the themes
and create artwork, music, presentations, and a variety of hands-on
learning experiences that support differentiated instruction across
the curriculum. Book Features: Examples of whole-school projects
designed to create a deep sense of immersion in a curricular theme
and to build a multi-age learning community. Details of how
teachers developed rich curriculum tailored to their unique
students. The insights of legendary educator Deborah Meier on how
whole-school thematic units were used to encourage collaboration
among teachers. An afterword by teachers (and film makers) about
the thinking behind their work featured in the widely-viewed film
series "A Year at Mission Hill."
