Publisher's Synopsis
This best–selling practical manual presents why and how to construct a syllabus that shifts from what you will cover (the traditional syllabus) to one that reflects what tools and information you can provide students to help them learn (the learning–centered syllabus). The book′s underlying assumption is that good teaching helps students understand how to actively acquire, use, and extend knowledge in an ongoing process of learning. The book′s goal is to assist anyone interested in designing a learning–centered syllabus to plan and construct one.
