Redefining U.S. Education

A Systematic Approach to Teaching

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a new model for education that makes more effective use of technology. The book first looks at the evolution of the U.S. public education system. It introduces the dilemma of whether emphasis should be on ensuring that all students reach a defined level of expertise or on encouraging individual students to develop their full potential. The authors present a new paradigm of teaching which allows students to use computer programs to progress at their own rate in subjects they enjoy and excel at while ensuring they still get the basics.
