Informationen zum Autor Victor P Maiorana earned his doctorate in curriculum and instruction at New York University for his research on critical thinking and subject matter comprehension. For this work, he won a scholarship and leadership award, and a research award. Dr. Maiorana is the originator of mind grammar for subject matter, which develops and applies the mind's innate ability to think critically to reading, writing, and comprehending content in all disciplines. Klappentext There is no core foundation for critical instruction. Such instruction leads students to think, read, and write critically in the context of gaining comprehension of new and revisited subject matter. Although long sought, critical instruction remains an unrealized professional vision. The result, at all levels, is weak instructional preparation and practice, and poor student achievement. The purpose of this book is to fix instruction by providing the teaching profession with a core body of knowledge for critical instruction.
