Based on current brain-imaging information, Layered Curriculum is a completely student-centered teaching method, which uses a triangular-shaped model of 3 layers, each requiring a higher level of understanding. Finally a real solution for teaching in mixed abiltiy classrooms! A "must-have" for all new and experienced teachers. A great resource for parents trying to make a better fit between your child's style of learning and the diverse teaching styles at school.
Pheonominal Theory that I was able to put into practice in my classroom to make an impact on the engagement of my students. This book encompasses theories of knowledge including bloom's taxonomy and Mark Prenski's theories on student engagement and makes diffentiated instruction a feasible option for a classroom teacher. I loved the read, implemented the theory in my clasroom and had the result. If you are an educator interested in engagement of students, please read and consider implementing in your classroom.
I would recommend this book to any teacher or anyone who wants to become a teacher. I feel that I got more inspiration and insight from this book than I EVER got in my education block at the university. I can't wait until the new school year begins to put this puppy into practice. Nunley is brilliant!
I highly recommend this to teachers. Kathy is an incredible presenter with solid curriculum ideas based on her experience in the classroom and as a brain researcher.
This book is a phenomenal resource for teachers. The instructions are clear and well backed up with evidence. I look forward to implementing the Layered Curriculum in my own classroom this year!
