The genre is authored by Carla Marshall and Rachel French, and translated by Haifa Abu Al Nadi, as a critical step to advance educational practices and support teachers in the Arab world.
The book offers a comprehensive reference that fuses theatrical depth with practical application and laser-focuses on concept-based curricula, invoking inquiry as a pivotal tool for learning. It presents clear teaching strategies, real-world examples, visual materials through videos, along with downloadable resources, such as templates and ready-made models.
This 549-page genre takes teachers on an educational journey, starting from building the conceptual perceptions of students to transferring and applying them in a variety of educational contexts, from first classes until the 12th class.
This conceptual model literally focuses on the essential interactions between teachers and students through using active questions as a vehicle for the learning process.
It encourages students to effectively engage in building knowledge through asking questions and answering them.
