Ellin Oliver Keene, author of Mosaic of Thought, identifies specific Dimensions and Outcomes of Understanding--characteristics of readers with a highly developed ability to make sense of text. Proposes an instructional model that focuses on what matters most and helps every student engage more deeply with texts. Model is founded on four concepts: focus on what's important; use research-based teaching and learning straegies; teach essential concepts over a long period of time; and give students numerous opportunities to apply these concepts. | |
