For the Students

Whetheran adult or a small child -

a student learns faster and more effectively  when they

think to learn.

Thinking happens best

when the information is personalized for the learner's ability level

(see Chapter 3: Individualize to Surpass Sameness),

and teams tackle new material together

(see Chapter 5: Third Graders. First Time Writers.).

True Learning

presents lesson samples, student stories, and

a plethora of unique techniques -

for all ages -

5 to 50.

Children and adults enjoy teamwork,

markers that smell from licorice to lime,

and opportunities to present their work.

For the Teachers

Whether a first time substitute or an experienced teacher,

solidly tested ideas create confidence and trust.

A True Story

 A new substitute on her first day, faces

- 5 music classes,

- 3 different grade levels,

- with only a 15 minute video on Bach

She's quickly given

a set of specific skill steps

based on high student participation.

With students on task

and the teacher in control,

she has a great day,

 and every child earns a red star on their paper!

A Teaching Lesson

An experienced teacher, watching his students enjoy

teaching each other,

decides being a coordinator for his class

is as effective as teaching alone.

(High school students take over in

Chapter 2: Students As Science Teachers).
