Description

In this book Merrill Harmin Professor of Education at Southern Illinois University has gathered practical, commonsense strategies many teachers have successfully used to help students become active responsible learners. In general, these strategies are centered on mutual respect, not bossiness; collaboration, not isolation; commitment to learning, not fear of failure; and the dignity of all, not praise or rewards for a few. Harmin's approach is straightforward: he describes each strategy then provides examples of how it can be used by teachers, regardless of grade level or subject specialty. Strategies are grouped into a number of broad categories, and an indexed glossary offers quick access to all the strategies. This book is a valuable addition to any teacher's professional library. - from Amzon
