Quantum Teaching: Orchestrating Student Success
Recommended Reading
by Bobbi DePorter, Mark Reardon and Sarah Singer Nourie
Allyn and Bacon, 1999
ISBN: 09-205028664-X
We wish every teacher could read this book early in the school year! For many it will contain reminders and for others it will offer new ideas on how to create wonder-full environments that engage learners and support them in the learning process.
This book literally "walks the talk" of the pioneering educators involved in the Learning Forum that produces programs for students, teachers, schools, and organizations throughout the U.S. as well as internationally. Their Super Camps, since 1982, have helped over 25,000 students to relearn how they learn and reshape how they live their lives.
Bobbi DePorter is president of Learning and former president of the Accelerated Learning Association, Mark Reardon is a former teacher and principal and is lead facilitator of the program, and Sarah Singer-Nourie is a teacher of high school English and Quantum Learning K-12. They share a wealth of strategies, presented in a lively, dynamic style, for motivating and enhancing teaching and learning at all levels.
Quantum Teaching embodies five tenets:
- Everything Speaks, including classroom environment, body language, design of lessons and handouts, etc.
- Everything is On Purpose, as teachers carefully orchestrate their lessons.
- Experience Before Label, as learning happens best when students experience the information at the outset of learning.
- Acknowledge Every Effort, as students take risks and build their competence and confidence.
- If It's Worth Learning, It's Worth Celebrating, with appropriate feedback that increases positive emotional association with the learning.
The book is imaginatively illustrated, offers clear explanations, suggests numerous helpful tips, and offers practical examples of processes that have been proved to be most successful. This is a great book for teachers of all subjects at all levels!
