Commonsense Questions about Instruction (eBook, PDF)

The Answers Can Provide Essential Steps to Improvement

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Parents want teachers to explain how they instruct children. They become annoyed when the teachers are silent or surly. Parents counter with explicit, common sense questions: how do teachers arouse interest, design curricula, reinforce discipline, assign grades, designate textbooks, and select technology? This book examines the parents' questions, the answers they elicited, the allies they attracted, and the improvements they initiated.
