Faulty Assumptions

Informationen zum Autor By William Miller Klappentext Based on a decade of hands-on experience and research dealing with thousands of students in both regular, K-12 and alternative school settings, this book exposes the accepted and timeworn theories on classroom management, which are based on FAULTY ASSUMPTIONS, that rarely work to address these important questions. In their place, Miller proposes practical answers-called "The Heart of Teaching" by one college professor-for which struggling teachers have been searching so that they may bring order to their classrooms and instruct meaningful lessons.
