Teaching for Transfer: Get Students in the Zone in Your Upper Elementary Literacy Classroom

In this episode:

Listen in as we talk about why your students may not be applying what you’ve taught them and some ways to fix that.

We talk about:

 The what, the why and the how of teaching students in their zone of proximal development. What the research says good learning is. Tangible steps for making this happen in your classroom.

Quotables: 

- Zone of proximal development is the distance between what a child can do independently (actual development) and what they can do with assistance (level of potential development).

-  Good learning is defined as what is delivered in advance of development.

-Providing appropriate support means that you allow students to engage in productive struggle.
