100 Teaching Ideas that Transfer and Transform Learning

In 100 Teaching Ideas That Transfer and Transform Learning, veteran educator Frank T. Lyman Jr.—architect of the trailblazing Think-Pair-Share model—delivers a pocket-sized innovation lab for every classroom. From first-grade phonics to AP physics, his ready-to-remix moves coax students to pause before blurting, wrestle with puzzling phenomena, visualize hidden worlds, and craft probing questions that cling like Post-its on the mind’s wall. Each strategy doubles as zero-prep professional development: quick prompts that unlock critical thinking, attentive listening, and collaborative problem solving without pricey tech or new mandates. Rooted in decades of research and hallway observation, the collection fuses cognitive science with the everyday hum of pencil sharpeners, proving that small shifts—think before speak, pair before share—create seismic gains in retention and metacognition. Lyman’s choose-your-own-adventure format respects overstuffed schedules yet challenges facilitators to replace sit-and-get with energizing intellectual play. Whether you guide a Sunday-school study, mentor novice teachers, or steer a veteran faculty PLC, these catalytic techniques turn content coverage into curiosity fireworks.
