This book reminds us teachers about all the little things we can do to
be more student-centric. It shows teachers how to "walk the walk," and
shows teacher educators how to guide colleagues along a student-centered
path. The book examines why we should and how we can promote
student-student interaction to enable students to learn more and enjoy
the process. It also offers simple but effective strategies for
enhancing student motivation, a factor that many experts consider to be
the most important determinant of success in educational endeavors. In
addition, it examines diversity, particularly the many differences that
exist among students, and explains simple, easy strategies for how this
diversity can be not only taken into consideration, but actively
celebrated.
