Bøker av Selma Wassermann

Opening Minds is a wonderful resource full of materials for parents of elementary and middle school children who want to expand their learning at home. Though not a replacement for the standard curriculum of the grades, it provides parents with a variety of tools to promote and engage children¿s thinking outside the classroom.

We live in a climate of vigorous testing and memorization, so how can we both engage and challenge our children to learn and become thinking citizens in our society? This book provides classroom strategies that enable and empower students to grasp the 'big ideas' across virtually all curriculum areas and apply this knowledge to problem solving.

This memoir of professional development in action follows bestselling author Selma Wassermann from her dismal beginnings, struggling for control over her students, to enjoying the kind of teaching in which teacher and students are truly partners in the process.
