Description

Effective Classroom Turnaround: Practice Makes Permanent, the third book in the Practices Makes Permanent series, contends that because students learn and behave differently, educators must thoughtfully approach them in the classroom in order to affect change. Like all humans, students respond to conditions around them. Regardless of their habits and behaviors at home or in school, educators can successfully stimulate them to approach education in a new, more positive light. Effective Classroom Turnaround offers teachers over fifty ways to generate cooperation, enthusiasm, and consistent academic success by utilizing principles of learning and motivation that are often ignored or, at best, underused even in the best schools. Embracing the idea that school reform occurs in the classroom, and not in the boardroom, this guide will effectively connect instruction with students' motivation and performance.
