About this title

Synopsis

This book supports teachers and educational leaders in their efforts to navigate the diverse opportunities and challenges of current reform initiatives. Leading educational change for a 21st century world involves a focus on three important shifts involving nine core ideas:

Shift #1: reorient the foundational beliefs about teaching and learning from the mindset of a discovery or didactic classroom to that of a thinking classroom.
Shift #2: refocus attention on more enriched versions of the three traditional educational goals, moving from fostering knowledge to deep understanding, from skills to real-life competencies and from attitudes to genuine commitments.
Shift #3: align teaching practices with five key principles of 21st century learning. These guiding principles are to engage students, sustain inquiry, nurture self-regulated learners, create assessment-rich learning and enhance learning through digital technology.
