Nancy Frey – författare

Vad kännetecknar rika matematikuppgifter? Hur arbetar vi med problemlösning, frågor, bedömning och begreppskunskap? Hur undervisar vi för ett långsiktigt, metakognitivt lärande? Med utgångspunkt i den allra senaste pedagogiska och psykologiska forskningen behandlar och exemplifierar denna matematikdidaktiska grundbok de absolut centrala delarna av matematikundervisningen i relation till effektstorlekar.

Men … för läraren handlar effektiv matematikundervisning inte bara om att välja och använda rätt metod, utan framför allt om att veta när vilken metod ska användas beroende på var eleverna befinner sig i sin kunskapsutveckling. Kapitel för kapitel, kompletterade med videoklipp, planeringsverktyg och mallar, får du som lärare undervisningsstrategier att använda inom elevernas olika inlärningsfaser.

Boken pendlar mellan evidensbaserad teori och praktik på ett medvetet och balanserat sätt. Här får du som lärare – från förskoleklass till gymnasiet – en sammanfattning av övergripande strategier och modeller som med precision balanserar undervisning mot ytinlärning, djupinlärning och lärande som kan omsättas.

I boken, som är trevligt skriven och lättläst med ett utmärkt figurmaterial, förekommer rikligt med exempel. Den kan rekommenderas till alla matematiklärare och lärarstuderande.

The Path to Truly Impactful Practice in Education Starts with Visible Learning

It may seem obvious, but learning should never be implied or assumed. Learning must be explicit, evaluated and monitored; the impact of teaching on student learning should be visible. But how can we be sure?

Armed with years of research that includes more than 2,100 meta-analyses, and 130,000 studies that include more than 300 million students—plus decades of experience as educators —bestselling authors John Hattie, Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Almarode have collaborated to create this accessible guide to what works best to accelerate students' learning. Packed with everything you need to evaluate your impact, the Illustrated Guide to Visible Learning includes:

To have the greatest impact on student learning, we must know what practices work best.  With this illustrated go-to guide to Visible Learning in hand, your path is set for truly impactful practice in education.

Engage, Empower, Educate: Unleash the Potential of Multilingual Learners

What's your "why" for being a teacher? Unlike other professionals, teachers often have strong reasons for why they teach and a clear sense of purpose. Acknowledging and understanding this purpose helps educators to not just do what they do but do it well.

This illustrated guide was designed for all classroom teachers to emphasize the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in multilingual learner education. Using Simon Sinek's Golden Circle theory to understand and elevate that sense of purpose, the book is organized into three parts: the why, the how, and the what of teaching multilingual learners. You will learn

With a clear understanding of the research-based tools, techniques, and instructional strategies described and illustrated in the book, a solid sense of purpose, and a dash of grace for you and your multilingual learners, you will be well on your way to creating productive and positive learning opportunities that meet the best interests of all students, families, educators, and the community.

Effective teaching is effective teaching, no matter where it occurs

The pandemic teaching of mid-2020 was not really distance learning, but rather crisis teaching. But starting now, teachers have the opportunity to prepare for distance learning with purpose and intent—using what works best to accelerate students’ learning all the while maintaining an indelible focus on equity.

Harnessing the insights and experience of renowned educators Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie, The Distance Learning Playbook applies the wisdom and evidence of VISIBLE LEARNING® research to understand what works best with distance learning. Spanning topics from teacher-student relationships, teacher credibility and clarity, instructional design, assessments, and grading, this comprehensive playbook details the research- and evidence-based strategies teachers can mobilize to deliver high- impact learning in an online, virtual, and distributed environment.

This powerful guide includes:

·         Learning Intentions and Success Criteria for each module to track your own learning and model evidence-based teacher practices for meaningful learning

·         A diversity of instructional approaches, including direct instruction, peer learning, and independent work that foster student self-regulation and move learning to deep and transfer levels

·         Discussion of equity challenges associated with distance learning, along with examples of how teachers can work to ensure that equity gains that have been realized are not lost.

·         Special guidance for teachers of young children who are learning from a distance

·         Videos of the authors and teachers discussing a wide variety of distance learning topics

·         Space to write and reflect on current practices and plan future instruction

The Distance Learning Playbook is the essential hands-on guide to preparing and delivering distance learning experiences that are truly effective and impactful. 

First, let’s commend ourselves: how in the midst of a pandemic we faculty stepped up at record speed to teach in such a foreign learning environment. Try we did, adapt we did, and learn we did. But to be clear, and we already recognize this, this past spring was less about distance learning and more about crisis teaching.

This time around we have the opportunity to be much more purposeful and intentional, and that’s where The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction will prove absolutely indispensable.

Much more than a collection of cool tools and apps, The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction mobilizes decades of Visible Learning® research to reveal those evidence-based strategies that work best in an online environment. Supplemented by video footage and opportunities to self-assess and reflect, the book addresses every dynamic that must be in place for students to learn, even at a distance:

What does our post-COVID future hold? “We suspect,” Fisher, Frey, Almarode, and Hattie write, “it will include increased amounts of distance learning. In the meantime, let’s seize on what we have learned to improve post-secondary education in any format, whether face-to-face or from a distance.”

“We are all still active faculty members, committed to teaching, scholarship, and service. The unexpected transition to remote learning doesn’t mean we no longer know how to teach. We can still impact the lives of our students and know that we made a difference. The Distance Learning Playbook for College and University Instruction will show you how.”
