| Summary |
"Organized for utility, the book explores how the principles of learning can be applied in teaching history, math, and science topics at three levels: elementary, middle, and high school. Leading educators explain in detail how they developed successful curricula and teaching approaches, presenting strategies that serve as models for curriculum development and classroom instruction. Their recounting of personal teaching experiences tends strength and warmth to this volume." "How Students Learn offers a highly useful blend of principle and practice. It will be important not only to teachers, administrators, curriculum designers, and teacher educators, but also to parents and the larger community concerned about children's education."--BOOK JACKET. |
