| Abstract | This resource offers lesson plans and practical suggestions for stimulating active learning and creating learning opportunities in new ways. It directs teachers to simple methods of inspiring a questioning attitude that will help students master skills, acquire information, and become critically aware of their own possibilities as learners. The book shows teachers how to encourage students to: grapple with problems that interest them and share new understandings; represent their new understanding in drama and movement, visual arts, and electronic media; share leadership in groups as they talk through ideas; engage in ideas that force them to rethink what they know; reflect on how, what, why and when they are learning. |
