Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning: Consulting Editor: Ann Watts Pailliotet

Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning combines theories by such educational reformers as Banks, Clark, Considine, Cortes, Gardner, McCarthy, Marzano, Perrone, and Sizer to lay a foundation for interconnected teaching and learning for the whole child – as described in The Holistic Circle of Learning by Pewewardy – and across a balanced curriculum that includes media literacy, multiculturalism, and personal development. Rather than a prescriptive methods book, Creative Planning Resource for Interconnected Teaching and Learning assists preservice and inservice pre-K-12 teachers in planning backward about big ideas by utilizing a new spiraling design for creative planning and diverse groupings, resources, and strategies to access, process, produce, and evaluate understandings.
