"4MAT ® has transformed my teachers from adequate to outstanding." —Robin Kvalo, Principal Rusch Elementary School, Portage, WI "Principals and teachers have continually requested 4MAT ® training as the ′basic core′ of knowledge for teachers in our 80,000-student district. We have trained literally hundreds of teachers over the past ten years to ′teach around the 4MAT ® wheel′ and meet the learning needs of all their students." —Patricia Shelton, Director of Certification and Professional Development Brevard County Schools, FL What we need to know about our students is not "How much?" intelligence, but "What kind?" Learning styles are linked to preferences in the ways people perceive and process experience. Bernice McCarthy′s unique 4MAT ® cycle is a brain-based teaching method that emphasizes diverse learning styles, honors learner individuality, teaches concepts as well as facts, and improves student thinking and performance on traditional as well as high-stakes assessments. With 25+ years of field testing and field use supporting its effectiveness, the 4MAT ® method uses a 4-quadrant cycle of learning that begins by engaging learners through direct experience, moving them toward - Reflective observation - Abstract conceptualizing - Active experimentation and problem-solving - Integration of new knowledge and skills Learning happens as we unite our experiences and their meaning with actions that test those meanings in the world. This exciting new resource offers schools a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning for students with all learning styles, backgrounds, and preferences.

The Common Core, an Uncommon Opportunity - Judith K. March - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Common Core, an Uncommon Opportunity - Judith K. March - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Because the Common Core requires bold action Why The Common Core, an Uncommon Opportunity? Why now? Because it tackles a largely overlooked component of successful implementation: how to redesign your instructional delivery system, K-12. And you’ll have to; if you don’t, you’ll be subject to the very same failure and frustration so many other districts and schools are experiencing. What’s more, March and Peters describe how to integrate 21st Century Skills at the very same time. What are the big benefits of this book? If you’re a district leader, it will help you - - Develop consistent and structured teaching and learning practices across content areas - - Ensure sustainable processes through continuous curriculum review and revision - - Strategically use data to monitor student performance goals - - Support and sustain enacted reforms through district-wide infrastructure adjustments - - Provide teachers with Common Core-aligned course tools, including sample curriculum maps, lessons, and specific teaching suggestions - There’s no need to start from scratch or attempt to reinvent the wheel. March and Peters have done much of the prep for you. Their processes and tools have already worked in numerous districts—and they can be custom-fit to yours. "[This] system helped us not only re-invent ourselves, but also build the internal capacity we needed to maintain our momentum. This book is a must for any district that is serious about taking advantage of the Common Core to re-invent itself." —Connie Hathorn, Ph.D., Superintendent Youngstown City School District "Few books offer such deep and specific information to assist the field in successful implementation of the Common Core and state learning standards. . . . This book is a gift to practitioners of all levels, and those practicing in any type of school or district." —Dr. Lynn Macan Cobleskill-Richmondville CSD
