Description
What is schoolproofing? Schoolproofing means making sure your children get a great education, no matter what political or educational theory happens to be in vogue. It means having children who learn to read in an age of illiteracy; who learn to obey legitimate authority in an age of sullen rebellion; who learn to stand against injustice in an age of craven conformity... Schoolproofing means YOU are in control.
Don't know how to teach? Schoolproof will show you how. Suffering from educational burnout? Schoolproof will show you how to simplify your teaching and learning. Want to help your children succeed, without taking on a major teaching load? Schoolproof will show you how it's done.
Just a few of the topics covered in Schoolproof:
- getting organized
- motivating your students while respecting them
- steps to independent learning--including one commonly-forgotten but absolutely essential step
- 20 ways to present a lesson
- 20 ways for your student to show what he knows
- how to recognize and dump educational clutter
But Schoolproof is much more than a how-to book. You'll understand why different educational philosophies work--or don't work--and where we should go from here.
