| Publisher Description: In this bundle, Visible Learning for Science and Visible Learning for Literacy reveal that it's not which instructional strategy to use, but when, and plot a vital K-12 framework for choosing the right approach at the right time, depending on where students are within the three phases of learning: surface, deep, and transfer. Both titles offer an approach designed to help your students demonstrate more than a year's worth of science and literacy learning per school year. |
