商品簡介
In this revised edition of her book, Write Brain Write, Hanson, a language arts teacher and a doctor of educational leadership, gives teachers ammunition to help defend student-centered, brain-friendly classroom practices against high-stakes testing and other negative changes in the classroom environment in the wake of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Her original, research-based framework, showing how brain-compatible practices are connected to student achievement, relies on propositions and descriptions from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, and the National Research Center on English Learning and Achievement. An introductory chapter outlines the framework and offers an accessible explanation of how the brain learns, illustrated with b&w illustrations. Each of the following chapters describes the characteristics of one of six features of effective instruction, and presents lessons, ideas, and activities demonstrating the brain-compatible framework in action. This edition includes more stories from the classroom, more cross-curricular writing activities, more activities for each grade span, and more discussion of brain-compatible classroom practices in relation to diverse student populations. B&w photos and reflection questions are included. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
