Description
Imagine students who not only know where they are going in their learning but also are able to choose the right tools to arrive at their destination.
The Teacher’s Guide to Becoming a Visible Learner, Grades 6–12 walks you through the process of using the Learner’s Notebook (one for every student) to teach students how to do just that: become their own teachers, as they learn to identify for themselves the strategies they need to keep moving forward in their learning.
The Learner’s Notebook puts foundational metacognitive skills within reach of all your students, leading the way for them to understand what they’re learning, why they’re learning it, and the strategies they’ll be using along the way. The result? Students become more motivated and focused.
Designed for fast and easy implementation, and structured to support an entire school year’s worth of learning, this ready resource offers you a clear framework for bringing Visible Learning success to every student in your classroom.
