"This book will establish a common vision for teaching with clarity in early childhood and a common language for talking about what the Visible Learning research looks like and sounds like in practice. Through interactions and language, this intuitive knowledge becomes explicit: Young children can describe what they are learning, why they are learning it, and how they will know when they are successful. Aligned with what we know from the Visible Learning research, young children's learning moves through three phases: surface, deep, and transfer. In both play and non-play-based learning, early childhood educators can support children's movement through these phases of learning by selecting the right strategy at the right time. Through authentic examples that depict early childhood settings in three countries, this book will walk readers through experiences and teaching practices in the areas of math, literacy, art and music, and social and emotional learning"--Provided by publisher.

Long-time educator John Taylor Gatto shares ideas with the Tuttle family from his Book "The Underground history of American Education". As they soon learn, education works best when we have the freedom to discover our interests and develop our abilities, rather than being shaped into what somebody else wants."--Back cover.

"[This book] is a . . . model of professional learning that focuses on student outcomes. Unlike more traditional teacher-centered approaches that carry an implicit assumption of fixing broken teachers, student-centered coaches partner with teachers to design learning that is based on a specific objective for student learning. Teachers and coaches use data and student work to analyze progress and collaborate to make informed decisions about instruction that is differentiated and needs-based. By shifting coaching conversations from what the teacher is doing to how students are progressing in relation to a stated goal, coaching becomes both more respectful of teachers and results-based"--Provided by publisher.
