How to Teach so Students Remember »

Taking a cue from The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey, 1989), a professional development consultant explains her backward design approach for teachers to create accessible memories in their students. With examples, rubrics, ideas to reflect upon, some research, and minimal theory, Sprenger explains a seven-step process from goal-setting to designing instruction to match goals and assessments. She also presents an overview of the brain and visual memory aids. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
