Creating the Dynamic Classroom: A Handbook for Teachers (2nd Edition)

Review\nReviews by users of Creating the Dynamic Classroom:\n“I really like that this book is written in such easy to understand language, and is not convoluted with too much educational jargon; strange as it sounds for an educator’s resource, it makes it a first choice for a straight answer to a specific question. I like the way it is divided up into very clear chapters that concentrate on specific areas of need for a new teacher.” --Megan McRae, OCT, TDSB, Owen PS\n“Overall, this book is great and has been a great guide for me. I often refer to it, even after teaching for a few years. I often read it to get back into teaching after each summer. It truly has been a support for my teaching. This book has really been my security blanket going into my first year of teaching but has continued to help me throughout the years.” --Shannon Ostilly, Henderson Ave. PS, York Region District School Board\nAn essential pre-service and in-service text for university faculty, school principals, mentors, and teachers.\nCreating the Dynamic Classroom is a valuable resource for both new and experienced teachers. It educates teachers on how to set up a classroom where students are empowered to create a positive learning environment that considers social, developmental, and environmental issues critically. By highlighting their own understandings, the authors help teachers make the necessary links between philosophy and practical application. They examine the classroom environment, timetabling, instructional strategies, organization and classroom atmosphere and outline a multitude of ways to put their ideas into action.
