New designs for teaching and learning

New design for teaching and learning offers a survey of the most important trends in education - including, critical thinking, cooperative learning, and portfolio assessment - and shows how they can be translated into classroom practice. The book will help educators design classroom programs that foster teamwork and thinking, while getting children actively involved in their own learning. Successful teaching goes beyond the mere transmission of knowledge. By presenting, a more dynamic view of teaching and learning, the authors open a world of possibilities for today's teachers and students.
