A Parent’s Guide to Powerful Teaching
A Parent's Guide to Powerful Teaching answers the age-old question: How can I best help my child study? Bain discusses the "Teaching Triangle"--that all important collaboration between student, parent, and teacher. Backed by research, this book empowers teachers to have conversations with parents about learning and includes tips and strategies that increase knowledge retention.
Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning
Up until 2005, most U.S. research on learning was conducted in university labs with college students. In 2006, two cognitive scientists wanted to explore how children learn in an authentic classroom and Patrice Bain's classroom was chosen. Powerful Teaching reflects that 12+ year journey and shows us how to increase learning and knowledge retention. Not based on fads, but on robust research, this engaging book is filled with relatable stories and anecdotes from Bain's middle school experiences.
