Renaissance Thinking in the Classroom: Interdisciplinary Learning, Real-World Problems, Intellectually Curious Students

Nathan D. Lang-Raad

Former STEM educator Nathan D. Lang-Raad has witnessed the power of interdisciplinary teaching in K-12 schools. In this book, he details nine specific habits of thinking and a challenge-based framework that educators should systematically integrate to promote students' academic knowledge and lifelong learning. Lang-Raad's approach consolidates supportive research and gives clear guidance through original strategies to help teachers design lessons that foster necessary behaviors.
