Rigor Redefined: Ten Teaching Habits for Surface, Deep, and Transfer Learning (Enables Students to Take Ownership of Their Learning Process)

High-quality teaching balances knowing, connecting, and applying core knowledge. This enables students to take ownership of their learning process. Using ten learning habits paired with practical tools and relevant templates, teachers can implement rigorous instruction in small and doable ways that drive student learning and create a lasting impact. Discover how to connect the dots between surface learning, deep learning, and transfer learning.

This book will help K-12 teachers:

• Create a schedule for habits to ensure routines are employed often and at optimal times
• Understand the connections among surface learning, deep learning, and transfer learning with elementary and secondary examples
• Learn various routines for each of the ten habits--the four learner quality habits and the six learning process habits
• Distinguish between declarative, procedural, and contextual knowledge
