Teaching on a Shoestring
Teaching on a Shoestring
Underpinned by solid theory, Teaching on a Shoestring investigates the learning potential of twenty-six inexpensive, readily available resources - from apples to ice cubes to zebra-patterned fabric - and shows how they can be exploited to develop in young learners the four skills widely regarded as essential in the twenty-first century: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
The book is organised into two parts: covering theory, then practice. In Part 1 the authors examine the nature of an object-rich learning environment and discuss the benefits of enquiry-based learning, in which the emphasis is upon promoting collaboration, dialogue and higher-order thinking in real-world contexts. In Part 2 the learning opportunities around the twenty-six objects are laid out in detail to illustrate how they can be put into practice. While the book focuses on object-based pedagogy employed with the under-sevens age category, many of the principles can also be applied with older children.
There is a common format for the enquiry into each object, arranged into the following sections:
In a nutshell - key background information about the object in its broader
Did you know? - interesting facts about the object.
Ready - key vocabulary, resources and health and safety factors to consider.
Steady - learning goals and intentions.
Go - activities which show how teachers can develop the four skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity around
Other ideas - follow-up cross-curricular ideas.
