Key Features New! Emphasis on inquiry through assessment: Based on recent research on designs for teaching and learning, the role of teacher inquiry and how it is supported through formative assessment practices is addressed. Formative assessment's role in reflective teaching is discussed in Chapters 1 and 16. A new definition of formative assessment tied to both student and teacher learning anchors a new section in Chapter 14. New! Advances in social cognitive theory, particularly with respect to self-regulated learning: Chapter 9 includes extensive coverage of learning strategies and tactics, and how students can be taught to create and use them. Cited research on a program of self-regulation designed to strengthen writing skills shows how the principles of self-regulated learning can be applied in the classroom. New! Emphasis on diverse learners: To help teachers understand and cope with the wide range of student diversity they will almost certainly face, the book includes extensive treatment of this issue in Chapter 4, "Understanding Student Differences," and Chapter 5, "Addressing Cultural and Socioeconomic Diversity." Chapter 6, "Accommodating Student Variability," shows how principles of universal design for learning (UDL) are being employed via technology. Teaching ideas specific to diversity (e.g., emerging work on critical constructivism in Chapter 10) appear in other chapters as well. New! Emphasis on educational technology: Each chapter contains at least one section on how technology can be used to address the chapter's themes. Topics include the impact of Web 2.0 technologies and how they can be used to foster cognitive development, promote multicultural understanding, make learning easier for students with disabilities, boost motivation, help teachers manage classrooms, and aid in assessment. Current design research appears across chapters, including a major project on a multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) called Quest Atlantis.
