Teaching for Transfer
Teaching for Transfer
A Guide for Designing Learning With Real-World Application
By: Michael McDowell
In Teaching for transfer: A guide for designing learning with real-world application, author Michael McDowell provides F–12 teachers with a road map for reconfiguring classroom instruction to ensure that students learn to expertly apply their knowledge and skills to different contexts. McDowell outlines three levels of complexity in learning – (1) surface, (2) deep and (3) transfer – and explains that while the foundational levels of surface and deep are essential and allow students to understand and relate ideas, transfer-level work is key; it involves the interdisciplinary problem-solving students need to practice to become creative, well-rounded citizens who can meet and overcome unexpected challenges. Offering ample research, concrete strategies, grade-level examples, and end-of-chapter next steps and reflection questions, McDowell demonstrates the importance of transfer-level learning and the means by which readers can support this skill development in their students.
Readers will:
study the three levels of complexity in learning
understand how to create transfer-level learning experiences by leveraging foundational knowledge and skills
learn specific strategies and protocols for incorporating perspective and perplexity in the classroom to mimic real-world challenges
address reflection questions individually and in collaboration with other educators
review specific grade-level examples throughout the book and in the substantive appendices.

Neurodevelopmental Differentiation
Neurodevelopmental Differentiation:
Optimising Brain Systems to Maximise Learning
Andrew Fuller, Lucy Fuller
Imagine a school where the motto is "Here, everyone gets smart". Not just some students. Every student. Where every student and teacher knows their learning strengths and uses them to develop other areas of learning. Where all staff understand how to identify and develop collaborative approaches to overcome blockages to learning. Where parent–teacher–student meetings prioritise forward planning and the development of an individualised learning plan for the following term. This book aims to bring this school to life through the power of neurodevelopmental differentiation.
In Neurodevelopmental differentiation: optimising brain systems to maximise learning, clinical psychologist Andrew Fuller and educator Lucy Fuller make teachers’ working lives easier and more effective by helping them to detect what might be stopping students from achieving more success. Each of the eight chapters in this book is designed to help teachers and parents identify young people’s learning strength areas as well as ways to improve functioning in each of the eight unique brain systems: spatial reasoning, perceptual and motor skills, concentration and memory, planning and sequencing, thinking and logic, people smarts, language and word smarts, and number smarts.
By designing interventions based on what students can already do well and applying these skills to areas they are yet to develop, Neurodevelopmental differentiation shows teachers how to increase their students’ motivation and excitement about learning.
