In this theoretically informed but eminently practical volume, Mary Jo Festle examines the recent explosion of research on the teaching and learning of history. Illuminated by her own work, Festle applies the concept of \"backward design\" as an organizing framework to the history classroom. She provides concrete strategies for setting up an environment that is inclusive and welcoming but still challenging and engaging. Instructors will improve their own conceptual understandings of teaching and learning issues, as well as receive guidance on designing courses and implementing pedagogies consistent with what research tells us about how students learn. The book offers practical illustrations of assignments, goals, questions, grading rubrics, unit plans, and formats for peer observation that are adaptable for courses on any subject and of any size. \u003ci\u003eTransforming History\u003c\/i\u003e is a critical guide for higher and secondary education faculty--neophytes and longtime professionals alike--working to improve student learning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Jo Festle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299326802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299326807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Mary Jo Festle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44046494433535,"sku":"9780299326807","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a22944e-b08f-4f24-821e-c799ccde1faa.jpg?v=1684984869","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transforming-history-mary-jo-festle-9780299326807","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
