About this title

Synopsis

An essential pre-service and in-service text for university faculty, school principals, mentors, and teachers.

 

Creating the Dynamic Classroom is a valuable resource for both new and experienced teachers. It educates teachers on how to set up a classroom where students are empowered to create a positive learning environment that considers social, developmental, and environmental issues critically. By highlighting their own understandings, the authors help teachers make the necessary links between philosophy and practical application. They examine the classroom environment, timetabling, instructional strategies, organization and classroom atmosphere and outline a multitude of ways to put their ideas into action.
