Presents active learning as a teaching method that results in greater student involvement and knowledge retention. Includes modifications to traditional lectures, alternative lecture formats, challenges in active learning, practical strategies, and more.
This book focuses on the higher education classroom, but grades 9-12 may benefit from the cited research and the author gives readily available ways to implement active learning in the classroom. Gives much food for thought, backs up claims with research and gives easily done suggestions to transform your classroom from a room full of zombies to a bunch of young adults actively taking part in their learning. It spurred me on to do a research project with active learning for my Master's degree.
