Synopsis

This practical book is designed to assist teachers in structuring their learning practice. The framework of four basic and proven steps -- Preparation, Learning Sequence, Authentic Application, and New Thinking -- can be used at any level, for any subject, and for learning applications from lessons to unit plans. Combining the best research on how we learn with practical lesson exemplars, the PLAN process encourages and supports goal setting, student engagement, and transformational learning.
