Reconsider the relevancy of what you teach and discover how to get students to develop "real-world" problem-solving skills!
Through first-hand experience, author and educator Ted McCain concisely lays out the argument for preparing students for their world, guiding them to become independent and successful critical thinkers. Teaching for Tomorrow brings everyday life encounters and situations as text to the classroom, challenging students to engage more deeply in their learning and teachers in their teaching. By eliminating the typical stand and deliver approach, McCain hopes educators will now focus on using instruction that allows students to create knowledge for themselves.
Major components of the book include:
- Role-playing scenarios
- Mapping out 6 changes to teaching that enable teachers to use problem-solving, project- based instruction effectively
- Outline of the 4 D’s (Define, Design, Do, and Debrief), a step-by-step process for student work and for problem solving applicable to virtually any field
