It's all about thinking

This book is the third installment in the It's All About Thinking series and turns its attention to the middle years. Its authors, Nicole, Linda, and Leyton, move beyond theory to show how core principles can actually be applied in the classroom.

The book takes up three guiding questions. How can teachers build the competencies that help students become capable learners? What routes lead students toward deep understanding of key concepts? And how can classrooms engage and support learners with varied needs so that everyone belongs? Drawing on concrete classroom examples, the authors aim to help time-pressed teachers create communities where every student can learn, with a focus on the major ideas shaping middle years education today.
