Time to Learn: Curriculum & Instruction in the Block
By: Harvey F. Silver, Richard W. Strong, and Daniel R. Moirao
By reconfiguring time into longer, “learning-compatible” blocks, intensive scheduling has the power to improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment in our secondary schools. In many schools, however, these goals are not being met.
Time to Learn provides the crucial information educators will need to unlock the potential of their new scheduling practices including:
- How to implement research-based teaching strategies to engage students for extended time periods
- How to maximize learning by applying a brain-compatible approach to daily instruction
- How to move beyond content coverage by designing curriculum and assessments that will excite students and guide their inquiries into the disciplines
- How to use learning styles and multiple intelligences to respond effectively to individual students’ talents and needs
