A brilliant new vision for education.

This title is nothing short of visionary!! - The model of teaching that is presented is one of absolute respect for teacher and student. The approach is experiential and collaborative - teacher is not superior and student is not subordinate. The model assumes that the best learning happens when it is determined by the learner. There is nothing in the model that suggests that "good" teaching be forsaken - quite the contrary, the emphasis is on excellence, innovation and personal responsibility. The model is flexible and accommodating of all learners - it is not however a "recipe" book - it requires the users to be pro-active. The book discusses the theory and principles in depth, and provides a range of reflections on real classroom experiences. The book offers a range of activities and exercises to be used in real classrooms by real teachers and real students. Any teacher who is looking to affirm that learning can be a wonderful experience might find some benefit in reading this one. Any parent looking to assist their children achieve their potential should also read this book and then take it to the school. An absolute necessity for anyone involved in education who is thinking "there must be a better way."
