UNSTOPPABLE

“In clear and accessible language, Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey explain that efforts to improve teaching only work when we see our classrooms as systems: every person and process impacts all the others, and seemingly small changes can have large effects on learning. This book is full of practical suggestions and tools that empower teachers to design the whole system— including peer and studentteacher relationships, learning and assessment tasks, and classroom routines—to lead to better learning.”

Every day, teachers and administrators tirelessly work to fulfill their most significant duty: to ensure students learn. In Unstoppable Learning, authors Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey uncover systems thinking as the key to improving teaching and learning schoolwide. Systems thinking—which involves distinguishing patterns and relationships and thinking through short- and long-term consequences— is critical to creating clear learning targets, preparing and delivering effective lessons, and successfully assessing instruction. To be systems thinkers, educators must understand the big picture of education and the intricate relationships that affect teaching and learning. The Unstoppable Learning model contains seven essential elements of teaching and learning to create a network of interactions that helps teachers and students reach new understandings.
