Riassunto:

Dr. Katherine McKnight has a 100% success rate in achieving academic gains with her unique, centers-based approach. Elementary schools have long used learning centers (also known as “rotations”) but middle and high school teachers have unique challenges. So Dr. McKnight worked with teachers all over the country to develop collaborative learning centers designed specifically for grade 4-12 learners. In this book readers can explore the research that prompted the creation of the LLC model for big kids, and learn how to start using it in their own classrooms. Read about the four foundational centers that are integral to the model. Find out how to set up additional centers in order to customize the LLC model for any content-area classroom. Learn to create developmentally appropriate tasks that automatically align instruction to standards/skills based assessment, increase student engagement, and allow you to cover more content and skill-development in less time. Avoid discipline problems with self-directed activities that provide the independence students crave with the guidance they need. Resources, teacher tips, and sample book lists are included.

“I loved Katie’s Literacy & Learning Centers: Content Area Disciplinary Literacy Tools for Grades 4–12, Volume 1, and I am delighted that she now provides teachers with this updated version of the program. Her model is research-based but, more importantly, it's straightforward and easy to use in classrooms.”
-Danny Brassell, Ph.D., internationally-acclaimed speaker, bestselling author of 16 books and co-creator of ReadBETTERin67Steps.com

“The activities in this book are as much fun for the teachers as they are for the students, and help break down complex concepts into chunkable, age-appropriate pieces of learning that create a collaborative environment where true learning happens!”
-Alex Kajitani, Speaker, Author, and California Teacher of the Year

“Katherine McKnight has done a masterful job incorporating the why, the what and the how into her newly updated version of Literacy & Learning Centers for the Big Kids. In particular, McKnight has written this book so any educator can immediately incorporate these practical strategies into their classrooms. As educators continue to struggle with managing their own time, while still doing their best to meet the diverse needs of their learners, this book serves a perfect tool to take their learning and application around literacy and learning centers to the next level.”
-Garth Larson, Ed.D.,President and Consultant of FIRST Educational Resources
