In the early 21st Century, a new vision for classroom practice emerged that looks very different from the teaching that existed previously. This new teaching is a synthesis of effective curriculum, big ideas, nurturing relationships, differentiated instruction, appropriate assessment, teaching to standards, use of technology, and solid understanding of the content being taught.
Six core principles emerge from the new educational theory that have the power to define and organize this new vision for classroom practice and to transform teaching itself. Navigating the New Pedagogy: Six Principles that Transform Teaching provides this vital map of education's "new landscape" of the current best practices and philosophies. Teachers, administrators, and education professors will find ideas that will help transform classrooms into positive, productive learning environments.Author Biography
