Constructivist Methods for the Secondary Classroom: Engaged Minds

by Ina Claire Gabler, Michael Schroeder

This comprehensive, yet concise, book provides a practical pre-service training program across all secondary subjects by grounding a constructivist approach in seven discrete instructional areas. This groundbreaking book is the only teacher education text with components that shift the focus from a teacher-centered to a student-centered context-while infusing a key component of successful active student learning. Engaged Minds provides strategies with specific examples for moving through lower levels of concrete information and applications to the higher, more abstract, levels of synthesis and evaluation. This dynamic book takes a roll-up-your-sleeves approach-yet constructivist ideology permeates this rigorous, accessible and imaginative training program. For teachers of secondary education.
