Visible Learning for Science, Grades K-12: What Works Best to Optimize Student L

Description: Visible Learning for Science, Grades K-12 by John T. Almarode, Nancy Frey, John Hattie, Douglas Fisher This book guides teachers to the right instructional approach to use at each learning phase so all students demonstrate more than a years worth of science learning per school year. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In Visible Learning for Science, the authors reveal that its not about which strategy to use, but when to use it, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Synthesizing state-of-the-art science instruction and assessment with over fifteen years of John Hatties cornerstone educational research, this framework for maximum learning spans the range of topics in the life and physical sciences. Employing classroom examples from all grade levels, the authors empower teachers to plan, develop, and implement high-impact instruction for each phase of the learning cycle. Author Biography Learn more about John Almarodes PD offeringsDr. John Almarode has worked with schools, classrooms, and teachers all over the world. John began his career in Augusta County, Virginia, teaching mathematics and science to a wide-range of students. Since then, he has presented locally, nationally, and internationally on the application of the science of learning to the classroom, school, and home environments. He has worked with hundreds of school districts and thousands of teachers across the world. The work of John and his colleagues has been presented to the United States Congress, The United States Department of Education, as well as the Office of Science and Technology Policy at The White House. John has authored multiple articles, reports, book chapters, and books. However, what really sustains John, and his greatest accomplishment is his family. John lives in Waynsboro, Virginia with his wife Danielle, a fellow educator, their two children, Tessa and Jackson, and Labrador retrievers, Angel and Forest.

I would definitely use this book in the classroom!" -- Dr. Rita Hagevik, Associate Professor and Graduate Director of Science Education, University of North Carolina at Pembroke "The authors have written a book with research to support that various learning techniques are effective at different times. Its lack of an all or nothing approach truly impresses. This book reminds teachers to make relevance obvious when teaching science standards and that mistakes are necessary for learning to occur. It is so relevant in todays school climate and is an easy read for busy teachers who are trying to do the best they can for their students." -- Mandy Frantti, Teacher, Munising Public Schools Review Quote "Visible Learning for Scienceis a great science methods text with its many, many great examples and excellent inclusion of research. I would definitely use this book in the classroom!"
