Student Insight on Best Educational Practice ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

Students learn best when collaborating, talking, and working with their peers. That’s what Edutopia blogger and educational expert Heather Wolpert-Gawron discovered when she surveyed students nationwide. Now you can hear from the students themselves and discover 10 comprehensive and fresh ideas on precisely how to capture your students’ imaginations and minds for deeper learning every day. This research-based approach provides plentiful lesson ideas, vignettes, videos, and insightful student interviews. Wolpert states she has learned students want to work together, have their teachers be more visual and to use technology, know “why” they are learning, move around in the classroom, have choices, experience their teachers as human, create using what they know, participate with new ways of learning, and learn using a variety of methods.
