Extreme Curriculum Makeover: A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy [Hardcover]

At a time where the tipping point for education seems to be a perpetually delayed expectation, despite widespread consensus and shared awareness to reform school practice for a completely new paradigm, change can actually be initiated in the real life school setting, by means of strategic curriculum interventions that target exposing students directly to the principles of the school of the future. Extreme Curriculum Makeover: A Hands-On Guide for a Learner-Centered Pedagogy explores how to develop a learner-centered pedagogy through specific strategies that can be implemented in any classroom, at any grade level, and that can transform the traditional learning environment into one where the students themselves acquire the tools, the skills, and, more importantly, the motivation to become lifelong learners.Gabriel Rshaid is an educator with almost 30 years of experience as a classroom teacher and administrator, during which he has been a joyous participant in the greatest time in history to be an educator. His passion for lifelong learning and technology have taken him in a journey all over the world sharing his insights on the future of schools and the impact of technology on learning, resulting in three published books on the topic, numerous contributions to other books as well as learning interactions with all types of audiences.

For many years, the development of technology has outpaced classroom applications of that technology. Gabriel Rshaids new book goes a long way in closing that gap. His recommendations for practical, hands-on uses of technology in classes provide teachers with timely and relevant strategies that will engage and challenge students. Jeff Stephens, Superintendent, Weber School District, former board member, ASCD
