Future-Focused Learning
10 Essential Shifts of Everyday Practice
Lee Watanabe-Crockett introduces a whole new methodology for embracing student-centered learning, transforming classrooms, building critical skills, and improving outcomes in the bestselling book Future-Focused Learning: 10 Essential Shifts of Everyday Practice. The product of over 10 years of work with global schools, Future-Focused Learning introduces 10 core shifts of practice you can apply to your teaching right now, no matter your curriculum or pedagogy.
In this book, you’ll explore over 50 specific examples of classroom activities called “micro-shifts” that make the larger shifts in practice simple to achieve on your own or as a collective group. In addition, you’ll learn how to connect the Essential Fluencies to these shifts of practice in order to develop students’ key 21st-century skills and higher-order thinking. If you’ve been looking for the best way to foster student-centered instruction in the classroom and support authentic modern learning outcomes, this is the only book you need.
At last, a book that bridges the gap between the realization that education must change and the real work of transforming it. Future-Focused Learning provides a clear guide for building teacher capacity.
