She offers student-centered, practical strategies on sorting, station teaching, and cooperative learning that will help teachers build on students?intellectual curiosity, self-efficacy, and sense of purpose. Using the strategies in this book, teachers can strategically ?et go?in ways that enable students to reach their learning targets, achieve more, be motivated to work, learn to collaborate, and experience a real sense of accomplishment.
