About this title

Synopsis

Gives an abundance of practical advice on how active learning techniques can be used by teachers across the disciplines. Using real-life examples, the authors discuss how various small-group exercises, simulations, and case studies can be blAnded with the technological and human resources available outside the classroom. The book is engagingly written for all classroom teachers.
--Stephen Brookfield, distinguished professor of education, University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota
