“It is a pleasure to have a full length treatise on this most important topic, and may this focus on transfer become much more debated, taught, and valued in our schools.”
Teach students to use their learning to unlock new situations.
How do you prepare your students for a future that you can’t see? And how do you do it without exhausting yourself? Teachers need a framework that allows them to keep pace with our rapidly changing world without having to overhaul everything they do.
Learning That Transfers empowers teachers and curriculum designers alike to harness the critical concepts of traditional disciplines while building students’ capacity to navigate, interpret, and transfer their learning to solve novel and complex modern problems. Using a backwards design approach, this hands-on guide walks teachers step-by-step through the process of identifying curricular goals, establishing assessment targets, and planning curriculum and instruction that facilitates the transfer of learning to new and challenging situations.
Conceptual Understanding & Learning Transfer
Every field, hobby, or complex skill can be viewed through this model of fundamental elements, called concepts, and the ways in which those elements interact. We can increase retention, hone our skills, and transfer our understanding to new situations by wiring our brains to learn how to grasp the organizational structures of our world. Using these structures as our guide, we can make sense of complex systems, create innovative solutions, and design a better future.
