Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning

Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning combines theories by such educational reformers as Banks, Clark, Considine, Cortes, Gardner, McCarthy, Marzano, Perrone, and Sizer to lay a foundation for interconnected teaching and learning for the whole child - as described in The Holistic Circle of Learning by Pewewardy - and across a balanced curriculum that includes media literacy, multiculturalism, and personal development. Rather than a prescriptive methods book, Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning assists preservice and inservice pre-K-12 teachers in planning backward about big ideas by utilizing a new spiraling design for creative planning and diverse groupings, resources, and strategies to access, process, produce, and evaluate understandings.
