This year I am lucky enough to be presenting at Illinois' Raising Student Achievement Conference once again. My topic this year is how to teach without using a textbook. In the presentation below, I offer a rationale for walking away from textbooks and give ideas for how instruction can be based around learning thinking skills using content as a vehicle. Feel free to roam around the presentation and, if you have any questions or comments, leave me that feedback in the comments. (Trouble viewing it below? Click here. )

The Dan Meyer video is very interesting. Some definite food for thought here. Thanks for sharing.

That is one of my favorite videos. Really gets the point across that textbooks don't really help students learn if they are set up to take the thinking out of learning. Comments are closed.
