Book Overview
Finally-- a roadmap for growing students' confidence and competence in learning.
We strive to empower our students to lead their own inquiry, discover knowledge, and construct approaches to solving real-life challenges. Often, though, we make the mistake of designing learning experiences that burden students with the unrealistic expectation of expertise that hasn't yet been developed. The solution: proper scaffolding for surface, deep, and transfer learning.
Building upon the groundwork from Michael McDowell's book Rigorous PBL by Design, this new resource provides practices that strategically support students as they move from novices to experts in core academics. You'll learn high-impact strategies that ensure students develop ownership and confidence in their learning, plus essential tools to build your own efficacy and support your colleagues in building collective expertise. Chock full of mission-critical guidance, this book
