Omschrijving
This field guide provides practical application of the skills presented via activities and worksheets that are provided within each chapter.
Dr. Barbiere has created a user friendly, quick reference guide that not only explains how an individual retains and reflects on new information, but also provides insight into developing engaging units that will challenge and excite all levels of learners to think critically and solve problems. The strategies, techniques, and resources in this book are a valuable reference tool for students, teachers, administrators, and even parents. I would consider Dr. Barbiere’s field guide to be a necessary addition to every classroom and household!
Dr. Barbiere’s field guide is overflowing with insight and practical advice and his research offers educators a true gift—the knowledge and support to create dynamic learning environments for their students leading to improvement in academic performance.
From the moment I met Dr. Barbiere (Doc), I fully embraced his approach not only to brain-based learning, but to his sage wisdom in all aspects of education. Every aspect of what I do as an administrator today is a reflection of what I learned from ‘Doc’. I often find my answers to difficult situations by thinking ‘What would Doc do’. I am proud to endorse this field guide as a terrific resource for all educators.
Dr. Mario Barbiere is a passionate practitioner with a strong theoretical background; he has worked as an administrator at the district and State level for school turnaround promoting student self-regulation and teacher empowerment for closing the achievement gap. Dr Barbiere combined his doctoral studies and years of brain research with his practical knowledge to write a practical field guide for administrators, teachers, students, and parents for coaching or for professional development, Professional Learning Communities or grade level meeting.
