immediately. Included are field-tested and standards-based
strategies that: Focus on parallel themes in literacy, science,
mathematics, and social studies Help students deepen knowledge,
think metaphorically, solve problems, and identify with subject
matter Challenge all learners according to their interests and
abilities Create authentic, joyful, and active student involvement
All students should have the opportunity to benefit from
multi-faceted learning experiences and this inspiring book gives
educators the methods to make it happen. The text is rich with
vignettes, visuals, samples, reproducibles, and assessment tools.
The possibilities are unlimited!
