Produktbeschreibung
If you are looking for practical ideas on how to get students excited and engaged, you will not be disappointed. Prof. Potter describes in a personal and readable style how pivotal lessons in his life shaped his award-winning teaching approaches. Real-world authentic assignments and Project-Based Learning are emphasized, as well as how to deliver engaging discussion-based lectures and differentiated scaffolding by gathering and giving lots of feedback. Although his experience is with teaching at the university level and at makerspaces, his abundant and specific advice will be of use to teachers at all levels, as well as to home-schooling parents. Because he is a brain scientist who taught courses in neuroscience and neural engineering, he provides unique insights into how students become motivated to excel. The success of his approaches at enhancing motivation and promoting learning is confirmed by numerous quotes from his students. School administrators will find the more philosophical aspects of Prof. Potter's educational psychology helpful in modernizing their schools to produce graduates who are prepared for 21st-Century careers, and who will continue to be excited about learning throughout life.
