Super Teaching
Over 1000 Practical Strategies
- Eric Jensen - Jensen Learning, Maunaloa, HI
Completely rewritten and revised, Super Teaching, Fourth Edition examines how students learn, how instruction physically changes a student's brain, and what research says about the factors that contribute the most to student performance. Jensen discusses lesson planning with the standards in mind, strategies to motivate and engage students, boosting student memory and recall, assessments, and mindsets or mental models of success for teachers.
The book also covers the effects of poverty on children and learning, categories of learning styles, managing students' emotional states with music, building positive relationships with students, and developing solid classroom management skills.
This is the book for educators who want to revitalize their perspectives on teaching and who want to combine best practices with brain-friendly instruction to inspire and empower students and advanceátheir academic achievement.
There are some very good points in this book though we felt that it was not exactly what we were looking for.
For teaching ideas it is good but it just was not suitable for our DTLLS course.
A very practical book with many strategies in support of teaching practices. This would be a valuable addition to any library, student or reflective practitioner.
This book will be useful for learners on their journey to becoming a teacher with lots of practical help and suggestions in easy, simple to understand language.
This is a very helpful book giving students ideas and different strategies that can assist them with the art of teaching.
Excellent book. Lots of useful strategies. Good book for both new and existing teachers.
It has some great information. I will definitely refer to it in class and put it on the highly recommended reading list in my syllabus. It would be a valuable resource in any teacher's professional library. It does not have all the information I need for my course and I'm limited to one required textbook.
