Teaching With the Instructional Cha-Chas (Four Steps to Make Learning Stick (Neuroscience, Formative Assessment, and Differentiated Instruction Strategies for Student Success))

With foreword by Rick Wormeli

Merging educational neuroscience with a formative assessment process and differentiated instruction, LeAnn Nickelsen and Melissa Dickson developed a four-step cycle of instruction -- (1) chunk, (2) chew, (3) check, and (4) change -- that has the power to double the speed of student learning. Compatible with any subject area, the book's brain-friendly teaching strategies and plentiful tools are designed to help transform students into active learners and independent thinkers.

Educational neuroscience- and research-based teaching strategies to improve student achievement:

• Combine brain science with a formative assessment process and differentiated instruction to maximize student learning.
• Examine effective teaching strategies and differentiation practices so you can bump it up or break it down according to student needs.
• Consider the four-step instructional cycle and understand the components of chunk, chew, check, and change.
• Explore how the formative assessment process can double the speed of learning.
• Learn how to plan instruction and preassess efficiently so that daily learning targets and formative assessments enable each student to meet standards.
• Receive templates and teaching strategies that can be easily differentiated and implemented in daily lesson plans.
