Description

Connect Common Core, inquiry, and technology!

While technology ushers in exciting and innovative educational opportunities, finding best practices for its complete integration remains a challenge.

Christopher Moersch, founder of the internationally recognized and research-based LoTi Framework, provides a concrete tool for implementing digital age best practices. With discussions on how to promote networked collaboration, bolster purposeful inquiry, and anchor student decision-making and learning with technology tools and resources, Moersch uses research-based instructional strategies to deliver:

  • A concrete road map for a smooth digital transition into new Common Core Standards
  • Lesson plans, benchmarks, and instructional units to help bridge the link between 21st century skills, Common Core Standards, and student achievement
  • Practical tips for classroom, building, and district implementation of digital age best practices
  • Tools and guidance for successful PLCs

Make the critical connection between effective implementation of 21st century skills/themes and student academic achievement part of your school’s pedagogy!

“When schools need to equip students with the skills to facilitate creativity, here is the blueprint. This carefully crafted advice has been road-tested and it works.”
—Neil MacNeill, Principal
Ellenbrook Independent Primary School, Ellenbrook, WA

Recent Product Reviews:

"If you are looking for a book that makes the links between standards, technology use, and readily implementable classroom lessons and makes a difference for students, then consider yourself to have one in your hand. In addition, the connections made to diversified professional development and administrative practices are laid out in a way that makes it easy to put them in to practice tomorrow."
Dr. Bonnie Tryon, Ed.D, SAANYS Representative, New York City, NY
"This book provides cutting-edge professional learning in the teaching of higher level learning skills. When schools, systems, states and nations (e.g. Singapore) need to equip students with the skills that will facilitate creativity here is the blueprint. The carefully crafted advice has been road tested and it works. I am waiting impatiently for the book to become available because it can help to improve every student’s learning, and therefore it should be essential reading for every preservice teacher and educational paraprofessional during their training."
Dr. Neil MacNeill, Principal, Ellenbrook Independent Primary School, Ellenbrook, WA
"Rather than keeping the discussion at the theoretical level, Moersch provides concrete scenarios and the success and challenges. The need for administrative support and leadership is detailed, as are walkthrough examples and implementation recommendations. This text is scholarly, but accessible, and includes a balance of real-life examples and strategies."
Library Media Connection, August/September 2014
