Super Teaching
Over 1000 Practical Strategies
- Eric Jensen - Jensen Learning, Maunaloa, HI
Brain-Friendly Teaching & Learning | School Counseling | Teaching Methods & Learning Styles
Completely rewritten and revised, Super Teaching, Fourth Edition examines how students learn, how instruction physically changes a student's brain, and what research says about the factors that contribute the most to student performance. Jensen discusses lesson planning with the standards in mind, strategies to motivate and engage students, boosting student memory and recall, assessments, and mindsets or mental models of success for teachers.
The book also covers the effects of poverty on children and learning, categories of learning styles, managing students' emotional states with music, building positive relationships with students, and developing solid classroom management skills.
This is the book for educators who want to revitalize their perspectives on teaching and who want to combine best practices with brain-friendly instruction to inspire and empower students and advanceátheir academic achievement.
"Covers many topics in one book, making it a good reference. The book will appeal to teachers new to the profession and experienced teachers who need a little motivation and a few ideas."
"An accumulation of a lot of the knowledge needed to be an effective teacher. Mentors will find the book helpful when working with new teachers."
"This powerful book makes an incredible contribution to the field of education! It provides numerous opportunities for reader participation in reflections, reactions, and other activities. Most important, it provides ideas and suggestions that will change the lives of children. Every educator should read this book."
It has some great information. I will definitely refer to it in class and put it on the highly recommended reading list in my syllabus. It would be a valuable resource in any teacher's professional library. It does not have all the information I need for my course and I'm limited to one required textbook.
I only received this book yesterday and have been engrossed in it. It is laid out so clearly that it is highly accessible. The thought- provoking quotations at the beginning of each chapter encourage thinking around the subject in advance of reading each chapter.
excellent for these studies......a must
There are some very good points in this book though we felt that it was not exactly what we were looking for.
For teaching ideas it is good but it just was not suitable for our DTLLS course.
A very practical book with many strategies in support of teaching practices. This would be a valuable addition to any library, student or reflective practitioner.
This is a very helpful book giving students ideas and different strategies that can assist them with the art of teaching.
Absolutely loved this book, a great read, well presented and easily understood and digested.
Recommended to all my leaners.
