How can teachers design their classrooms and lessons to bring this vision to reality? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), \u003cem\u003eThe Unbound Classroom\u003c\/em\u003e strives to create a real-world experience for students by removing disciplinary boundaries and allowing for thematic learning to take the lead. Rather than focus on a singular driving question, units cover a wide variety of relevant questions and ideas centered on the real-world study of a theme. With this strategy, students find the mode that is most engaging for them, and then allow their curiosity to guide their focus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUDL helps teachers think about the varying ways students learn and address that variability before each and every lesson. Integrating the UDL guidelines with cross-disciplinary, thematic units, results in a classroom that is ready to support the growth, curiosity, and insight of every student. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy focusing on a central theme rather than a singular driving question, Miro's \u003cem\u003eUnbound Classroom\u003c\/em\u003e also becomes highly flexible. Teachers can develop a few lessons that integrate the disciplines and use the foundational approach or they can commit to an all-encompassing unit. The focus is on thinking outside the structures of the disciplines - math, science, English, history - and instead thinking about how to best learn all the facets of a particular topic, how to create rich, deep learning opportunities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this stimulating and thought-provoking book, Miro walks through each step of creating a robust thematic unit but also includes shorter lessons, activities and strategies that teachers can take to their classrooms immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 24, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42703717990463,"sku":"9781930583429","price":36.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ceec1601b1eba36735dd3f327428e41b.webp?v=1765030452","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/the-unbound-classroom-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
