Classroom Strategies for Interactive Learning
Educators across all content areas have turned to Classroom Strategies for Interactive Learning for almost two decades. The fourth edition delivers rich, practical, and research-based strategies that readers have found invaluable in today's classrooms. Author Doug Buehl has written all-new chapters that focus on the instructional shifts taking place as the Common Core State Standards are implemented across the United States. These introductory chapters will help you do the following:
- Understand research based comprehension strategies for content classrooms
- Tap into students' background knowledge to build upon and enhance comprehension of complex texts
- Teach students how to question a text
- Teach reading and thinking through a disciplinary lens
At the heart of this edition are more than 40 classroom strategies with variations and strategy indexes that identify the instructional focus of each strategy, pinpoint the text frames in play as students read and learn, and correlate students' comprehension processes. In addition, each strategy is cross-referenced with the Common Core's reading, writing, speaking/listening, and language standards.
Doug Buehl was a teacher in the Madison Metropolitan School District in Madison, Wisconsin, USA, for 33 years and is currently a teacher, professional development leader, and adolescent literacy consultant.
