Why Are School Buses Always Yellow?: Teaching for Inquiry, K-8: Corwin Teaching Essentials

Autor John F. Barell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mai 2016
Using examples from real classrooms, the book shows teachers how to connect inquiry to required content while still moving students toward more control of their own learning. Teachers can learn to help all students, including those with special needs, to reform their initial playful, tangential, or shallow questions to deeper questions about content that will help them develop the thinking skills that they will continue to use throughout school and into adulthood.

Recenzii

"Why are School Buses Always Yellow? ignited a fire in our school.  With only small tweaks to our units, our teachers saw huge differences.  The students were so excited and eager to learn.  We have continued to build on that success with a focus on inquiry and Barell’s words of wisdom are often quoted during planning sessions."
"Educators often talk about developing lifelong learners - our team has had great success using Why Are School Buses Always Yellow? to catalyze professional conversations about how we can better cultivate curiosity through an inquiry approach.  I strongly recommend this book for those who are interested in unlocking the uniquely creative capacity of our youngest learners."
"John discusses simple ways to develop authentic student inquiries using real life examples from teachers around the world illustrating the power of  the curious mind in all of us. The new chapter on evaluating sources in the digital age is particularly pertinent for our students. John inspires educators to ensure inquiry drives student learning in the classroom and beyond."
"Questions give voice to wonderings and provide purpose to learn and broaden horizons. Superbly demonstrated within these covers is the understanding that inquiry is for all – no matter the interest or academic level. How is this possible and achievable? Open this book to discover ideas that can be easily adapted to any learning environment."
