Innovative Teaching: Best Practices from Business and Beyond for
Mathematics Teachers provides educators with new and exciting ways to
introduce material and methods to motivate and engage students by
showing how some of the techniques commonly used in the business world
-- and beyond -- are applicable to the world of education. It also
offers educators practical advice with regard to the changing culture of
education, keeping up with technology, navigating politics at work,
interacting with colleagues, developing leadership skills, group
behavior, and gender differences.Innovative Teaching demonstrates how
the classroom environment is similar to the marketplace. Educators, like
businesses, for example, must capture and hold the attention of their
audience while competing with a constant stream of 'noise.' With the
introduction of the Internet and the wide use of social media, promoters
understand that they must not only engage their audience, but also
incorporate audience feedback into the promotional work and product or
service they offer. Innovative Teaching shows educators how to take the
best practices from business -- and beyond -- and recombine these
resources for appropriate use in the classroom.
