But what does that way of thinking about the syllabus leave out - about our teaching and, more importantly, about our students\u0026amp;#x27; learning?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSyllabus\u003c\/i\u003e, William Germano and Kit Nicholls take a fresh look at this essential but almost invisible bureaucratic document and use it as a starting point for rethinking what students - and teachers - do. What if a teacher built a semester\u0026amp;#x27;s worth of teaching and learning backward-starting from what students need to learn to do by the end of the term, and only then selecting and arranging the material students need to study?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThinking through the lived moments of classroom engagement - what the authors call \u0026amp;#x27;coursetime\u0026amp;#x27; - becomes a way of striking a balance between improv and order. With fresh insights and concrete suggestions, \u003ci\u003eSyllabus\u003c\/i\u003e shifts the focus away from the teacher to the work and growth of students, moving the classroom closer to the genuinely collaborative learning community we all want to create.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u0026amp;#x27;An inspiring exhortation to make the standard college syllabus work harder and better...A thoughtful, provocative collection of well-tested teaching strategies and philosophies that work across the curriculum.\u0026amp;#x27; -\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e, starred review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46803654803614,"sku":"ADS-9780691192208","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780691192208.jpg?v=1778205668","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780691192208","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
