商品簡介
In the first four chapters of this book, editor Jacobs, a curriculum consultant who teaches at Columbia University's Teachers College, offers short-term and long-term recommendations for updating and upgrading the K-12 curriculum and specific content areas, focusing on four areas that need to be changed: schedules, the grouping patterns of learners, the configurations of professional personnel, and the use of physical and virtual space. The rest of the book's nine chapters look at socio-technology trends impacting learning and teaching, such as digital portfolios and sustainability education. Contributors include school principals, a journalist who develops curriculum tools for teaching media literacy, and developers of educational technology.
