Future wise : educating our children for a changing world
\"How to teach big understandings and the ideas that matter most. Everyone has an opinion about education, and teachers face pressures from Common Core content standards, high-stakes testing, and countless other directions. But how do we know what today's learners will really need to know in the future? Future Wise: Educating Our Children for a Changing World is a toolkit for approaching that question with new insight. There is no one answer to the question of what's worth teaching, but with the tools in this book, you'll be one step closer to constructing a curriculum that prepares students for whatever situations they might face in the future. K-12 teachers and administrators play a crucial role in building a thriving society. David Perkins, founding member and co-director of Project Zero at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, argues that curriculum is one of the most important elements of making students ready for the world of tomorrow. In Future Wise, you'll learn concepts, curriculum criteria, and techniques for prioritizing content so you can guide students toward the big understandings that matter. Understand how learners use knowledge in life after graduation Learn strategies for teaching critical thinking and addressing big questions Identify top priorities when it comes to disciplines and content areas Gain curriculum design skills that make the most of learning across the years of education Future Wise presents a brand new framework for thinking about education. Curriculum can be one of the hardest things for teachers and administrators to change, but David Perkins shows that only by reimagining what we teach can we lead students down the road to functional knowledge. Future Wise is the practical guidebook you need to embark on this important quest\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Mind's Best Work
Over the years, tales about the creative process have flourished-tales of sudden insight and superior intelligence and personal eccentricity. Coleridge claimed that he wrote \"Kubla Khan\" in one sitting after an opium-induced dream. Poe declared that his \"Raven\" was worked out \"with the precision and rigid consequence of a mathematical problem.\" D. N. Perkins discusses the creative episodes of Beethoven, Mozart, Picasso, and others in this exploration of the creative process in the arts, sciences, and everyday life. Table of Contents:
A Parable 1. Witnesses to Invention 2. Creative Moments 3. Ways of the Mind 4. Critical Moments 5. Searching For 6. Plans Down Deep 7. Plans Up Front 8. Lives of Inquiry 9. Having It 10. The Shape of Making

Dimensions of Causal Understanding: the Role of Complex Causal Models in Students' Understanding of Science
This article argues that an important source of the difficulties posed by particular concepts and theories is the narrow range of \"types of causal models\" with which most learners are familiar. Most learners are familiar with relatively simple styles of causal models, but many concepts and theories in science depend on styles substantially more complex. The authors offer an analysis of four dimensions of complex causality and argue that the increasingly complex styles along the dimensions present challenges that help to explain students' difficulties in mastering science concepts. Two types of evidence are offered: (1) analyses of students' understanding of several challenging science concepts based on the extant literature and research; and (2) two intervention studies are reviewed, involving teaching interventions where cultivating greater complexity in students' causal models led to better understanding. The interventions involve context-situated, inquiry-centered learning experiences that draw students' attention to how they are modelling the causality involved in particular phenomena and encourage more sophisticated causal modelling, embedded in their science learning. (Contains 3 tables and 3 figures.)
