Introduction -- The profession lacks a language of instruction -- Instructional practice is inherently weak: the hidden story -- The critical thinking movement has not overcome serialism -- Teacher preparation does not address critical learning and instruction -- The profession has no standards for thinking -- Evidence of how the issues block critical instruction and learning -- Core body of knowledge for critical instruction |
| Summary |
A professional core includes a common language of practice, foundation principles and skills, and related standards. Such a core is present in the medical, engineering, and legal professions. Instructionally, it is not present in the teaching profession. There is no core foundation for critical instruction. Such instruction, long sought but unrealized, leads students to think, read, and write critically for content comprehension. Fixing Instruction provides teacher-educators, teachers, and professional developers for the first time, with an explicit core boy of knowledge for critical instruction |
