Designing Communities

Mehr zum Buch

The book details a collaborative initiative at Mountain Elementary School aimed at transforming science education from traditional textbook methods to engaging, student-centered learning. Teachers recognized the need for change, seeking to enhance excitement in science for students. The author, drawing from previous research on classroom communities, assisted in developing environments where students actively participated and took control of their learning. The project emphasized the role of teachers in fostering a supportive classroom community rather than merely delivering information.
