Holt, Larry Charles; Kysilka, Marcella L.
SAGE Publications (CA)
"Instructional Patterns: Strategies for Maximizing Student Learning" examines instruction from the learners' point of view by showing how instructional patterns can be used to maximize the potential for students to learn. This book explores the interactive patterns that exist in today's classroom and demonstrates how teachers can facilitate the interactivity of these patterns to match their goals for student learning. These interactive patterns are reinforced through the incorporation of medical, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience research. The book is designed to serve as a core text for undergraduate and graduate courses in K-12 General Teaching Methods, Middle School and Secondary Teaching Methods, Elementary Teaching Methods, or Instruction and Assessment. Key features include: (1) Guides students in differentiating instructional practices to meet the needs of all students, as well as in the practical issues of instruction; and (2) Details interactive instructional patterns that include teacher centered patterns, teacher-student interactive patterns, and student-centered patterns.

Web-Based Student Study Site provides e-flashcards, links to standards from U.S. states, standards based project, Web resources, and access to full-text articles in SAGE journals related to the text.
