The Power of We : Creating Positive and Collaborative Classroom Communities

In Ron Nash's Power of We, powerful first-hand stories supported by expert research help fuel the author's awakening to the truth that engaging students means involving them as active participants in their own learning. This includes recognizing that students have an endless capacity of positive energy that can be harnessed into deeper understanding with just a few adjustments to the traditional model of teacher -- learner -- test. With the strategies and tools that Nash has found to successfully help students learn--especially when those students spend the time to truly reflect on their experiences in the classroom--Power of We is a testament to the power of collective action in the classroom.
