If the three r's define education's past, there are five
i's-information, images, interaction, inquiry, and innovation-that
forecast its future, one in which students think for themselves,
actively self-assess, and enthusiastically use technology to
further their learning and contribute to the world. What students
need, but too often do not get, is deliberate instruction in the
critical and creative thinking skills that make this vision
possible. The i5 approach provides a way to develop these skills in
the context of content-focused and technology-powered lessons that
give students the opportunity to: Seek and acquire new information.
Use visual images and nonlinguistic representations to add meaning.
Interact with others to obtain and provide feedback and enhance
understanding. Engage in inquiry-use and develop a thinking skill
that will expand and extend knowledge. Generate innovative insights
and products related to the lesson goals. Jane E. Pollock and Susan
Hensley explain the i5 approach's foundations in brain research and
its links to proven instructional principles and planning models.
They provide step-by-step procedures for teaching 12 key thinking
skills and share lesson examples from teachers who have
successfully "i5'ed" their instruction. With practical guidance on
how to revamp existing lessons, The i5 Approach is an indispensable
resource for any teacher who wants to help students gain deeper and
broader content understanding and become stronger and more
innovative thinkers.
Rebecca loves her white Maltese, Dallas, so much, and she spoils
the little dog like crazy. His favorite thing is sleeping in
Rebecca's big, comfortable bed. Dallas is a smart pup who can do
lots of tricks. One day, he gets bored and leaves Rebecca to go on
adventure to the nearby fire station. There, he tries to get a new
job as a firedog, even though he isn't a Dalmatian. Dallas can
master ?most? of the steps of the job. A little disappointed, he
heads home where he discovers Rebecca missed him as much as he
missed her. He's also happy to get to sleep in her big comfy bed
again.
