The book will help educators design classroom programs that foster teamwork and thinking while getting children actively involved in their own learning.Providing specific classroom activities at the And of each chapter, Dennis Adams and Mary Hamm show how these new instructional developments can be specifically applied to the content areas. They suggest concepts and techniques that can be used in math, science, reading and writing, and the arts. They examine how electronic media such as television, computers, and interactive telecommunication are transforming learning. And they discuss the topic of social responsibility and citizenship education.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.
