Five Teaching and Learning Myths-Debunked: A Guide for Teachers - Paperback

by Adam M. Brown (Author), Althea Need Kaminske (Author)

Drawing from research in developmental and educational psychology, cognitive science, and the learning sciences, Five Teaching and Learning Myths-Debunked addresses some of the most commonly misunderstood educational and cognitive concerns in teaching and learning. Multitasking, problem-solving, attention, testing, and learning styles are all integral to student achievement but, in practice, are often muddled by pervasive myths. In a straightforward, easily digestible format, this book unpacks the evidence for or against each myth, explains the issues concisely and with credible evidence, and provides busy K-12 teachers with actionable strategies for their classrooms and lesson plans.
