Accelerated Learning Pocketbook - Softcover

Teachers who are using accelerated learning methods in their classrooms are finding pupils more motivated, engaged and successful. This new edition of the Accelerated Learning Pocketbook draws together in a handy pocket-size format all of the tried and tested techniques that are revolutionising teaching. This book is about how to teach in a way that maximises your pupils' chances of reaching their potential. It contains hints and tips on getting students ready to learn; ideas for establishing a working environment conducive to effective learning; teaching strategies; and a useful self-evaluation framework that allows teachers to assess and record where they are on the accelerated learning continuum and to see what needs to be done to move to the next level. In structure, design and how it is written, this Pocketbook is itself based on accelerated learning principles. The author shows readers how to model the principles as they read and become accelerated learners themselves.
