The Learning Classroom: Theory Into Practice

Resource Type

Video

Description

What is learning theory? How can teachers apply learning theory in their classrooms to increase student achievement? This 13-part video series illustrates why learning theory is at the core of good classroom instruction. Each half-hour program is dedicated to a specific learning theory and applications of that theory in practice. The programs, hosted by Stanford University professor Linda Darling-Hammond, feature interviews with teachers as well as expert commentary from researchers such as Daniel B. Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, and University of Michigan professor Annemarie Sullivan Palincsar. A Web site and print guide help make the connection between theory and practice with background readings, questions for discussion, and assignments.
