"We used to be in a hurry to introduce the the problem right at the start," said Mrs. Leong. "But when we started analyzing the impact of our unit, we realized that lots of kids weren't learning much. And with so much work on our part!"

Guide

1. Depending on the order that teachers experience the surface, deep and transfer learning sessions, introduce or review the first three slides/images.

2. Review the next three slides/images which explain transfer learning and supporting high impact strategies. Discuss the quote in terms of surface, deep and transfer learning.

3. You/the group may choose to do the reading OR watch selected videos. You may want to let the group choose which video topic is of most interest. The length of each video is included for your planning.

4. Include time to discuss - What is new knowledge for you? What do you agree/disagree with? How will this change your thinking?
