Landscape Model of Learning: Designing Student-Centered Experiences for Cognitive and Cultural Inclusion (Research-Based Teaching Strategies for De (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952812958)

Help students take the lead on reaching their own personal highest level of success by shifting from the current paradigm of education to create a more meaningful and inclusive learning ecosystem. This essential guide offers the landscape model and its three elements: understanding what students bring to the ecosystem, defining the horizon, and charting the pathway. Access practical strategies for drawing on students' experiences and strengths to create a more meaningful and inclusive educational ecosystem.

Educators committed to lifelong learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion will:

• Retire the inadequate goal of access and move education toward the higher and more urgent, equitable goal of helping every student reach their highest possible level of individual success
• Embrace the concept of inclusive prosperity, which goes beyond diversity to accepting and supporting all students--their experiences, gifts, and challenges--to build communities where all students belong
• Receive practical, research-based strategies for developing agency and engagement so that students become the protagonists of their journey through the learning ecosystem
• Design systems for student protagonism by implementing student-centered strategies for cognitive and cultural inclusion
• Obtain reproducible tools to deepen understanding and implementation of the material
• Learn how to successfully implement the model despite common hurdles and potential challenges, such as traditional academic contexts and economically disenfranchised schools
