Role Reversal: Achieving Uncommonly Excellent Results in the Student-Centered Classroom

by Mark Barnes

Overview

Getting better results on standardized tests doesn't mean you have to teach to the test and pressure students to practice rote skills. Here's a book that explains how to see better results by making students more responsible for their own learning and engaging them in project-based learning with ongoing feedback. Classroom teacher Mark Barnes introduces a results-only classroom where teachers use a combination of individual and cooperative learning activities, completed in class and over extended time, with constant feedback and opportunity to change, in order to demonstrate mastery learning.
