Your single-best way to nurture higher-order thinking

With all the pressure to accelerate instruction, how can we possibly find the time to encourage students to do some serious thinking? With Facilitating Authentic Learning, Laura Thomas provides the answer: through constructivist, experiential teaching methods. Grade 6-12 teachers will learn how to:

  • Plan learning experiences that teach content and process at the same time
  • Assess students' development of 21st-century skills
  • Coach students to do the hard work of authentic learning while providing support
  • Teach reflection techniques that help students learn from experiences and mistakes

Laura Thomas is the current Director of the Antioch Center for School Renewal (http: //antiochne.edu/acsr), the service division of the Department of Education, Antioch University, New England. Her faculty webpage is: http: //www.antiochne.edu/directory/employee_detail.cfm?ID=7160136429.

She has been working in and with innovative schools since 1993, first as a speech and theatre educator and later as a coach and consultant. Laura′s expertise lies in the support of system-wide change, the building of learning communities for both adults and students, and facilitative instruction. She is affiliated with the Coalition of Essential Schools, the School Reform Initiative (http: //www.essentialschools.org) and is the Co-President of the New Hampshire affiliate of the National Staff Development Council.

The author has also been involved in the design and instruction of several online courses including Data Collection for Equity (a Case Study/ School Profile course for Principal′s Certification students) and Critical Friends Group Coaching (for the same cohort). She is currently designing two separate series of courses on tech integration and problem-based learning. Both series will have 5 3-credit courses leading to a certificate and/ or MEd in Curriculum and Instruction. Launch is anticipated in the spring of 2012.
