  • THE BEST-SELLER, DEVELOPING STUDENT OWNERSHIP IS NOW A SECOND EDITION

    In the five years since Developing Student Ownership was first published, a lot has happened. Teachers and students dealt with a myriad of changes in how to teach and how to learn. And through the haze of constant change, one thing became clear: In order for students to continue learning, they needed to better understand their role in the process. In other words, they needed to develop student ownership now more than ever.

    Bob and Jane have met this challenge through this revised edition. You will notice stronger examples, a deeper understanding of the value of integration, and, most importantly, how to develop student ownership in daily lessons.

    With the same quality support for the practices in curriculum, instruction, assessment, and climate that increase the opportunities for learning AND two new chapters with additional support for integrating the practices and models for developing daily lessons that empower student ownership, Developing Student Ownership is still THE comprehensive and functional guide no teacher will want to be without.
