Rigor, thought, diversity, authenticity: The only four standards that matter

SKU: TWMM01 Category:

Description

Drawing from academic research and the collective experience of educators, Teaching What Matters Most offers four guiding standards to help all students meet the challenges of 21st century learning:

  • Rigor: helping students make sense of challenging texts and ideas
  • Thought: helping students become adept users of powerful learning disciplines
  • Diversity: helping students understand themselves and others
  • Authenticity: helping students apply what they learn to the real world

Each standard is supported by school-based examples, research-based teaching strategies, and assessment practices that allow schools and teachers to respond thoughtfully to the diversity of students’ needs.

Finally, a book that helps educators put the standards movement to work instead of the other way around. This book is packed with sound advice and practical ideas for making sense of education standards. This book cuts across grade levels, disciplines, and abilities.

This book is a breath of fresh air, both progressive and traditional in the same breath . . . This book will influence my presentations as well as my thinking.
