Active Learning: 101 Strategies to Teach Any Subject

I found the book a wonderful resource full of suggestions and methods. Teaching both elementary and college level students, the strategies listed were very helpful. I'd recommend the book to any teacher.

Creative Ideas to Involve Students

This book is full of wonderful ideas. It is especially helpful if you teach on the block schedule. The ideas are very easy to implement in the classroom.

Ready-to-Use = Good for Me

I'm about to student teach on the block schedule. Having never even attended school on a block schedule, I felt very unprepared for keeping students engaged for an hour and a half at a time. Thankfully, this book is well-organized and formatted so that at a glance, I can insert these strategies into my lesson and unit plans. The ideas range from the practical (anticipatory sets, attention getters) to the memorable (great ways to end units and make the lessons last). This was a great buy.
