Download or read book Small Teaching written by James M. Lang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-03-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employ cognitive theory in the classroom every day Research into how we learn has opened the door for utilizing cognitive theory to facilitate better student learning. But that's easier said than done. Many books about cognitive theory introduce radical but impractical theories, failing to make the connection to the classroom. In Small Teaching, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful changes that make a big difference—many of which can be put into practice in a single class period. These strategies are designed to bridge the chasm between primary research and the classroom environment in a way that can be implemented by any faculty in any discipline, and even integrated into pre-existing teaching techniques. Learn, for example: How does one become good at retrieving knowledge from memory? How does making predictions now help us learn in the future? How do instructors instill fixed or growth mindsets in their students? Each chapter introduces a basic concept in cognitive theory, explains when and how it should be employed, and provides firm examples of how the intervention has been or could be used in a variety of disciplines. Small teaching techniques include brief classroom or online learning activities, one-time interventions, and small modifications in course design or communication with students.

Download or read book Teach Yourself How to Learn written by Saundra Yancy McGuire and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following up on her acclaimed Teach Students How to Learn, that describes teaching strategies to facilitate dramatic improvements in student learning and success, Saundra McGuire here presents these "secrets" direct to students. Her message is that "Any student can use simple, straightforward strategies to start making A’s in their courses and enjoy a lifetime of deep, effective learning." Beginning with explaining how expectations about learning, and the study efforts required, differ between college and secondary school, the author introduces her readers, through the concept of metacognition, to the importance and powerful consequences of understanding themselves as learners. This framework and the recommended strategies that support it are useful for anyone moving on to a more advanced stage of education, so this book also has an intended audience of students preparing to go to high school, graduate school, or professional school. In a conversational tone, and liberally illustrated by anecdotes of past students, the author combines introducing readers to concepts like Bloom’s Taxonomy (to illuminate the difference between studying and learning), fixed and growth mindsets, as well as to what brain science has to tell us about rest, nutrition and exercise, together with such highly specific learning strategies as how to read a textbook, manage their time and take tests. With engaging exercises and thought-provoking reflections, this book is an ideal motivational and practical text for study skills and first year experience courses.

Download or read book Education 101 a Teacher s Guide written by Charles O. King, Sr. and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a Special Education Teacher with over 20 years of experience ranging from elementary school to adult education. I started as a substitute teacher and 2 years later became an ESE Teacher. After my first day as a substitute teacher I knew I was in the right place. I never sought a career or job in any other field. God is good. To this day everything I ever leaned and still learning I use in the classroom to reach and teach my students. This is a book for all educators. I do not believe it takes 500 or more pages to say what needs to be said. Nor do I want to bore you by spelling out and defining everything. In these 20 plus years of my experience I cover what I have learned from the college classroom to elementary education, and engaging students in the classroom. What I want to do is to share with you what I have learned from my experience as a teacher in a truthful to-the-point manner. I want this book to serve as a guide and help-manual to give insight into educating our children. As I state in this book it takes a combination of things and creativity to reach and teach our children. Prayerfully this book will help everyone who reads it to be more committed and inspired to go the extra mile and learn what lies beyond, and and never give up. I say this to everyone from Home Schooling Parents to Primary Teachers to College Professors, and everyone who plays a leadership role in the lives of our children. Remember it takes a village to raise a child and that village must raise its children to be as independent, self sufficient, and socially responsible in love. This is what "Education 101 A Teacher's Guide" is about.
