A helpful guide to teachers regardless of their model of classroom instruction. A teacher's facility to conceptualize, examine, & evaluate the way students learn is a valuable & powerful tool. Students are more than test scores & performances, this book takes into account such factors as status needs, affiliation needs, & family structures to augment the subject matter with a focus on students as social beings who are learning more than the formal curriculum. Important to value understanding student perceptions & the need for strategies that teachers can use to obtain info. even within the constraints of all the other duties they must perform.
