The Active Classroom Field Book
Purchase
Description
"Every teacher keeps two or three books for constant reference while planning units and designing lessons—this is one of those books! The Active Classroom Field Book provides field-tested strategies for engaging students in learning disguised as fun!"
—Jennifer Sinsel, Gifted Facilitator
Wichita Public Schools, KS
"This book is packed with ideas on how to let the students do the learning while the teacher guides them. The included real-life vignettes bring even more clarity to each concept, allowing the reader to experience the vitality each will bring to the classroom."
—William Richard Hall, Jr., Principal
Longan Elementary School, Henrico, VA
Discover what really works in the classroom through success stories from educators like you!
The best classrooms are dynamic environments that actively engage students in learning. In this exciting new resource, best-selling author and educational consultant Ron Nash shares the stories of practicing teachers who have successfully implemented active teaching methods in their classrooms.
Expanding on the strategies in The Active Classroom, Nash uses educator stories and classroom vignettes to pinpoint how active techniques are working in schools across the country. This resource includes:
- Chapters on student-to-student conversations, classroom process, student movement, feedback, and continuous improvement through reflection
- Vignettes that set the stage for each chapter
- Lesson plan segments and anecdotes from teachers in Grades K–12 and college settings
Ideal as a companion to The Active Classroom or on its own, The Active Classroom Field Book is the ultimate resource to help teachers transform students into active participants in their own learning.
