Book excerpt: Happiness is Up to Me provides teachers, and anyone who works with others, the tools to self-evaluate daily connections. Applying the ideas of Dr. William Glasser, this book provides insight into the ins and outs of choosing more effective behaviors both in and out of the classroom. A teacher's classroom reality is openly shared and evaluated. The 'uncommon sense' philosophy of Choice Theory provides the tools for focusing on what is effective, but at times the application becomes more akin to mountain climbing. The reader experiences a unique journey through the roles of the author as teacher, mother and spouse with happiness as the final outcome. Angela Ward, who is currently teaching in a classroom, actively participates in training teachers on how to apply Choice Theory which culminates in the realization of Lead Management. Her goal in writing this book is to encourage teachers to share their journeys and work together to embrace change in their professional lives in Brevard County, Florida, THE place to teach.

Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Student Centered Strategies in Online Adult Learning Environments written by Fitzgerald, Carlton J. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As traditional classroom settings are transitioning to online environments, teachers now face the challenge of using this medium to promote effective learning strategies, especially when teaching older age groups. Because adult learners bring a different set of understandings and skills to education than younger students, such as more job and life experiences, the one-size-fits-all approach to teaching does not work, thus pushing educators to create a student-centered approach for each learner. The Handbook of Research on Student-Centered Strategies in Online Adult Learning Environments is an important resource providing readers with multiple perspectives to approach issues often associated with adult learners in an online environment. This publication highlights current research on topics including, but not limited to, online competency-based education, nontraditional adult learners, virtual classrooms in public universities, and teacher training for online education. This book is a vital reference for online trainers, adult educators, university administrators, researchers, and other academic professionals looking for emerging information on utilizing online classrooms and environments in student-centered adult education.
