We just returned from the Creativity Cruise 2011 and it was spectacular. We hope to highlight a little something each new blog in the coming days.
I received a GREAT BOOK for Teaching and Teachers during my CreativityCruise experience! The book is called How to Teach SMARTER-not harder; 3 Easy Tactics to use in your classroom by Win Wenger. I'm not a certified teacher but I am a Mom who is totally interested and involved in my kids education and I like to support other kids too. And, I know alot of GREAT teachers who look to keep evolving their teaching impact, so I hope they pick up the book. I'll certainly share mine, anytime.
As part of a presentation Win Wenger, the author, shared some ASTOUNDING results from a school in Buffalo, NY. The whole study body qualdrupled their rate of progress (as measured by terra nova scores) between 2008 and 2010 after they experienced a year of Maieutic Socratic Methods.
The 3 EASY TACTICS book is aimed at obtaining these kinds of results! And the 3 tactics - instant replay, highlighter question and planning questions are so EASY! Please visit this link (especially if you teach my children). Win is a wonderful, wonderful man who's purpose is to "UPGRADE YOUR NECKTOP COMPUTER" -- and he is passionate about Creative Problem Solving and Education.
In addition I had an opportunity to experience one of his Creative Problem Solving sessions. I practiced a method called "Windtunneling" for ingeniously solving problems. WOW! was that cool and I have to say I've already experienced results of my problem solving...more on that tomorrow. THANKS WIN!
