Improve thinking skills and increase motivation to create a competitive modern classroom. This advanced teacher's guide offers a full range of strategies to differentiate instruction and build unique thinking and learning skills required of today's students. More than an introductory manual on differentiation, this book is a 'next step' instrument to help teachers: integrate resilient thinking, problem solving, and decision-making skills into any content area; build achievement motivation and student self-regulation; set new roles for learner and instructor that encourage learning autonomy; utilize new techniques for designing rigorous curriculum to inspire young people's passion and creativity; and, create a thriving 21st-century classroom.
