In this thought-provoking book, Beghetto explains:
With planning forms and detailed sample activities, this practical guide will enable teachers at every grade level to design a full range of challenges in any subject area. Invite uncertainty into your classroom-and discover what your students are capable of.

Beghetto, the best way to unleash students' problem solving and creativity-and thus prepare them to face real-world problems-is to incorporate complex challenges that teach students to respond productively to uncertainty. In this thought-provoking book, Beghetto explains:
- How to foster ""possibility thinking"" to help students open up their thinking in creative, sometimes counterintuitive ways.
- The process of lesson unplanning, a way of transforming existing lessons, activities, and assignments into more complex classroom challenges.
- Four basic action principles that teachers and students can use to design and solve complex challenges both inside and outside the classroom.
- The steps for creating legacy challenges, which require students to identify a problem, develop a solution, and ensure that their work makes a lasting contribution.
With planning forms and detailed sample activities, this practical guide will enable teachers at every grade level to design a full range of challenges in any subject area. Invite uncertainty into your classroom-and discover what your students are capable of.
