“What if school wasn’t like real life? What if it was real
life?”
~Chris Lehmann, SLA Principal
Teachers seek and value their
students’ point of view.
Classroom activities challenge
students’ suppositions.
Teachers pose problems of
emerging relevance.
Teachers build lessons around
primary concepts and “Big Ideas”.
Teachers assess student learning in
the context of daily teaching.
(Brooks and Brooks 1999)
Classroomthe teacher searches for students’
understandings of concepts, and then structures opportunities for students to refine or revise by posing contradictions,
presenting new information, asking questions, encouraging research, and/or
engaging students in inquiries designed to challenge current concepts.
(brooks and brooks 1999)
