Helps
students master 15 math subjects through practicing and solving
problems. The solutions tutor the student’s work, while the
hints save the student valuable study time and improve their
understanding of mathematical concepts. For students, its
serves as an excellent preparation for the GMAT; for teachers
it is great for lesson exercises and homework assignments
using the copy, paste, print, and e-mail functions.
If words are power, then according to Peter Johnston’s Choice Words,
teachers’ words are a super power. Using a variety of interspersed
narratives from various classrooms, narratives that include
student-teacher dialogue, Johnston shows how the words that teachers
use express a variety of both conscious and subconscious opinions of
students. And, as I think everyone agrees, what teachers think about
their students has significant implications on the opportunities and
achievements of those students. But Johnston does not stop there. While
Johnston includes what he would call both positive and negative
interactions, he does not judge the teacher as being bad solely on the
basis of the interaction. The teacher may not realize the hidden
suggestions his or her words possess; similarly the teacher whose
dialogue is "good" may not be expressly trying to suggest something
positive to the students. Some teachers are just naturals when it comes
to this.
The first book to warn parents and teachers against a traditional--and destructive--teaching method, this will be important to all who are involved with children's literacy and education in general.
Instead of talking about what teachers should teach and what students should learn, Smith argues that we should talk about experiences that they should be mutually engaged in, involving reading, writing, imagining, creating, calculating, constructing, producing and performing.
This book develops a conceptualisation of the spiritual and moral dimension to education in which the constructs ‘meaning’, ‘identity’ and ‘spirituality’ – all important for young people’s personal development – can be useful in helping educators make across-the-curriculum teaching more relevant to students’ personal growth, and in ways that do not compromise the integrity of the subjects being taught.
In my humble opinion this is one of the most important publications for averted teachers who care about young people choices in life - or death - stovokor
