The Lazy Teacher's Handbook - How your students learn more when you teach less

Jim Smith

Casa editrice: Independent Thinking Press

Sinossi

,p>Every chapter has been revised and some significantly expanded, particularly those on planning, conducting and reviewing lazy lessons. Others have been updated with Jim's latest tried-and-tested techniques, which all shift the emphasis away from the teaching and onto the learning.

Have you ever wondered what would happen in your classroom if you simply stopped teaching? Over the last few decades the demands of countless education initiatives, not to mention the pressures good teachers put on themselves, have seen so much teaching squeezed into our lessons, it must have squeezed out some of the learning. Maybe if we spent a little less time teaching and gave students a little more time to learn, things would be different. Maybe this would allow us more opportunities to build relationships with the class and develop that all-important rapport with the individuals who might just need us most. Maybe we could even reclaim our Sunday afternoons from planning and marking?
The Lazy Way can help you get more out of your students and at the same time help you to get your life back. More than just a series of tricks, the Lazy Way is something Jim Smith has put together over years of experience working with all sorts of learners (and teachers) who want their lessons to be different yet still be rewarded with academic success. The approach was born out of Jim's frustration with doing a job he loves but being slowly killed by it in the process. And, as all good psychologists know, if necessity is the mother of invention then frustration is the absent father, and being knackered the grown-up sibling who just won't leave home.
If you want your students to learn more and you to work less, then The Lazy Teacher's Handbook provides you with all the arguments and evidence you need. The new edition is packed full of even more easy-to-apply, highly effective strategies (which Ofsted have rated as 'outstanding') all with the seal of approval from real students in real classrooms. So, next time someone tells you to get a life, this book will make it possible.

From Topic to Thesis - A Guide...

Michael Kibbe

While courses in Bible and theology typically require research papers, particularly at the graduate level, very few include training in research. Professors have two options: use valuable class time to teach students as much as they can, or lower their standards with the understanding that students cannot be expected to complete tasks for which they have never been prepared. From Topic to Thesis: A Guide to Theological Research offers a third option. This affordable and accessible tool walks students through the process, focusing on five steps: finding direction, gathering sources, understanding issues, entering discussion and establishing a position. Its goal is to take students directly from a research assignment to a research argument—in other words, from topic to thesis.

Microeconomics Basics

IntroBooks Team

There are different types of economies in today’s world. A pure market economy (also known as laissez-faire capitalism) is an economy in which individual households and firms determine the allocation of resources and the government plays an extremely limited role, primarily in enforcing property rights through a legal system and providing for a common defense. A centrally planned economy (also known as a command economy) is one in which a single individual or small group of individuals determines the allocation of resources, and individual firms and households have little say over what is produced, how goods are produced, and the distribution of these goods. A mixed economy is one in which government plays a more active role in the market process, including regulation, standardization, taxation, and income redistribution. Households and firms still have some control over what is produced, how goods are produced, and the distribution of those goods; however, the government also influences these decisions.

Persuasion The complete...

Ben Harper

It’s never easy to feel like you might be getting taken advantage of. Whether it’s a spouse, a friend, a relative, a child, a sibling, or even just the person that makes your coffee in the morning, anyone is capable of taking advantage of other people.
In the same way, anyone is at risk for being the person that is getting manipulated. Even the most powerful people might be under the influence of someone else’s manipulation. Having control over another person is a very powerful feeling, and some people use this as their life source. Other people have been so controlled by others throughout their lives that they don’t have an identity other than the one of their abuser.
This book aims to break apart three main ways that someone might be getting taken advantage of. There will be examples of how to identify this type of manipulation, and what can be done to stop and prevent further toxic behavior.
The first step in the recovery process is understanding manipulative behavior at its core. It’s important to figure out what a manipulator looks like, and how they might specifically take advantage of other people. By understanding this you're better equipped to identify and defend against the manipulation.
This book isn’t going to be about how to use these techniques on others to manipulate them. Manipulation is dangerous and it’s crucial to understand the damage that this tool can do. Many people live unhappy lives because they have been so manipulated by others. It’s time for that deception to end, and instead, you should be putting focus on improving relationships and overall self-esteem.
Just because someone is a victim of manipulation doesn’t mean they might not also be a manipulator themselves. Often, the two go hand in hand. It’s tricky behavior, but if more is known about it, there will be a better understanding of how to stop this toxic pattern.
