What are people saying about Developing Student Ownership?
“I appreciated this book for its real-world applications and examples of student ownership of learning in the classroom. As a site principal, having a tool that provides context and practice in an accessible format for all is important to building a common language around what we can do to build a student-centered classroom and the impact on student learning.”
“The work as expressed in this book has changed the way we think about teaching and learning in general. More specifically, it has colored greatly the way we help students take ownership for their learning through best teaching practices. Shoring up the foundation of best practice has paid great dividends towards enhanced student achievement.”
“The ideas in this book have helped me teach my third-graders how to be life-long learners.”
“Through the use of these practices, student ownership has increased tenfold! My students know what they are learning and how they are demonstrating it. Furthermore, they have become self aware of their learning process and can identify and articulate when they are struggling, so I can adjust my teaching in order for them to reach their academic endeavors.”
