Extreme Curriculum Makeover: A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy

Autor Gabriel F. Rshaid
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 noi 2016
At a time where the tipping point for education seems to be a perpetually delayed expectation, despite widespread consensus and shared awareness to reform school practice for a completely new paradigm, change can actually be initiated in the real life school setting, by means of strategic curriculum interventions that target exposing students directly to the principles of the school of the future. Extreme Curriculum Makeover: A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy explores how to develop a learner-centered pedagogy through specific strategies that can be implemented in any classroom, at any grade level, and that can transform the traditional learning environment into one where the students themselves acquire the tools, the skills, and, more importantly, the motivation to become lifelong learners.

Recenzii

For many years, the development of technology has outpaced classroom applications of that technology. Gabriel Rshaid's new book goes a long way in closing that gap. His recommendations for practical, hands-on uses of technology in classes provide teachers with timely and relevant strategies that will engage and challenge students.
Deeply grounded in theory, but extremely practical, educator Gabriel Rshaid provides a roadmap to the future of learner-centered pedagogy.
The thread of technology is woven throughout the book as it lends support to inquiry, research, and product creation. I especially appreciated the methodological process for each topic with objectives, age levels, and procedures. This will be most helpful as teachers shift toward the new learning paradigm as described in Extreme Curriculum Makeover.
Reading this guide should heighten awareness of the instructional leader/teacher to the need for students to be able to imagine, create, and embrace real-world, real-time work. Rshaid made me reflect on why curriculum must change for the benefit of students.

In this compelling and timely book, Gabriel Rshaid offers a riveting demonstration of how educators and non-educators, working together, can create schools of the future now by organically changing school pedagogy and practice.
Gabriel Rshaid has taken his passion of using technology in the classroom to another dimension. His latest work expands the possibilities of the present school model and implores educators to rethink the current paradigm of schooling. He makes a powerful case that our current model of educating children needs a revolution and backs it up with practical, creative, and usable examples that all teachers and principals can implement immediately. His extensive knowledge of use of technology, its potential, and leading edge web references that extend the classroom to endless possibilities is just the stimulus our schools need to overcome the inertia we are currently experiencing. Clearly a look to a possible future for real school change.
Whether you're completely autonomous when it comes to educational decision-making in your classroom or limited by rules and programs, you're sure to find practical ideas that you can use in your classroom tomorrow within Extreme Curriculum Makeover! Gabriel Rshaid masterfully demystifies many of the pedagogical shifts happening today in education and provides progressive ideas that aim to address each shift.
Extreme Curriculum Makeover: A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy is a brilliant book designed to inspire educators to make critical changes in their current practices in order to truly prepare students to meet the demands of the future. Rshaid insightfully states, "Schools should just be the prelude to a life of learning." Through his keen insights and doable suggestions, Rshaid paints a clear picture of a new curriculum that will fire students' creativity and stimulate their love of learning. This pivotal guide succinctly and convincingly captures the transformative shifts in theory and practice that all educators must make.
Gabriel Rshaid recognizes and demonstrates in Extreme Curriculum Makeover that the technological changes taking place are at a rapid pace. He provides an opportunity for educators to understand, synthesize, construct and apply learner-centered pedagogy for the 21st century.
