What can we teach kids today that will have utility ten or fifteen years from now?

Description
A generalist is curious, open-minded, skeptical, and persistent in their quest for information. Thinking Like a Generalist demonstrates what it means to take a generalist stance in instruction and provides a set of teaching tools to be able to pass those skills to students—skills that will transfer beyond the walls of the classroom.
Inside you’ll find the following:
- a thorough introduction to what it means to be a “generalist”, and how to develop the practices and tools that help generalists navigate the world we live in
- a focus on the teacher becoming a generalist and tips for modeling those practices in the classroom
- detailed instructions on how to write a unit of study that emphasizes generalist literacy skills and includes an overview and examples of five different units
- how to use the authors’ read-aloud-think-aloud strategy to orient students to generalist tools and practices
The ideas, strategies, and examples in Thinking Like a Generalist will give you the tools to think like a generalist and then pass that knowledge on to your students, guiding them to become inquisitive, lifelong learners and preparing them for a future that we can’t yet imagine.
