The Concept Anchoring Routine (Soft Cover)

Product Details

Teachers use the Concept Anchoring Routine to introduce and anchor a new concept to a concept that is already familiar to students, that is, to learn by analogy.

How often have you looked up a word in the dictionary and found that the definition was just as meaningless as the word itself? New information can be difficult to understand—especially if there’s nothing to which you can attach it. For a student who’s struggling academically, nothing can be more frustrating than not understanding key concepts.

With the Concept Anchoring Routine, teachers can solve this problem by “anchoring” new information to information students already know. As part of this routine, teachers help students identify characteristics of a known concept, explain characteristics of the new concept, and then determine the characteristics that the two concepts share. Finally, the teacher and students arrive at a definition of the new concept—or a statement that shows how the two concepts are related. This is an excellent way to help students with limited knowledge.

This instructor’s manual provides step-by-step instructions on how to introduce this routine to students and use the routine over time.
