Riassunto

Promote learning that is purposeful, engaging, reflective, and fun for everyone!

Experience and research show that students must be active participants in the learning process if teachers want the classroom experience to result in deeper understanding and the building of new knowledge. This resource shows how to turn passive students into enthusiastic participants in their own learning. The author illustrates how teachers can become facilitators who:

• Establish an interactive and safe environment for learning
• Nurture discussion and interdependent learning
• Manage movement in the classroom
• Teach to all learning modalities
• Incorporate music, visuals, storytelling, and technology
