Learning That Sticks In far too many classrooms, the emphasis is on instructional strategies that teachers employ rather than on what students should be doing or thinking about as part of their learning. What's more, students' minds are something of a mysterious "black box" for most teachers, so when learning breaks down, they're not sure what went wrong or what to do differently to help students learn. It doesn't have to be this way. Learning That Sticks helps you look inside that black box. Bryan Goodwin and his coauthors unpack the cognitive science underlying research-supported learning strategies so you can sequence them into experiences that challenge, inspire, and engage your students. As a result, you'll learn to teach with more intentionality—understanding not just what to do but also when and why to do it. By way of an easy-to-use six-phase model of learning, this book
Learning may be complicated, but learning about learning doesn't have to be. And to that end, Learning That Sticks helps shine a light into all the black boxes in your classroom and make your practice the most powerful it can be.

Using Brain Science to Make Learning Stick The science of learning can give some rich insights into how teachers can design and deliver lessons that accelerate and deepen student learning. In this quick reference guide, Bryan Goodwin and Tonia Gibson use three tools to explain their six-phase model: * Insights from brain science Using Brain Science to Make Learning Stick provides classroom activities that are based in scientific research to help K–12 teachers plan learning experiences that mirror how students turn new information into memory and to make the entire process of learning more effective, engaging, and rewarding for all. |

The New Classroom Instruction That Works Built on a rigorous research base of hundreds of studies conducted in a wide array of classrooms, The New Classroom Instruction That Works explores 14 strategies for best first instruction (Tier 1) that promote deep, meaningful, and lasting learning for all students. Learn what each strategy is, and when, how, and why to use each one in the classroom for maximum impact:
These strategies—which can be applied in any grade level and subject area—are presented within a framework geared toward instructional planning and aligned with how the brain learns. For each strategy, you'll get the key research findings, the important principles of classroom practice, and recommended approaches for using the strategy with today's learners. Goodwin and Rouleau establish a well-rounded foundation for a teacher’s ability to support student engagement with higher-order thinking activities by supplying teachers with an intentional map of cognitive and metacognitive thinking strategies. …Any educator struggling with supporting their students’ ability to retain information would find the culturally responsive strategies shared in chapters Five through Seven helpful. - Sydney Carroll, American School Board Journal book review |
