Tuned in and Fired Up Author: Sam M. Intrator

ISBN: 9780300107661 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 190 Published: 24 February 2005 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 20.9 x 13.9 x 1.1 Description:

Every teacher has powerful memories of becoming swept up in an electric moment when the classroom hums with energy and students are wholly engaged in learning. During such moments of real learning, teenagers find genuine meaning, worth, and value in their academic experiences. And their teachers find in these heightened and exuberant moments the embodiment of their best hopes and ideals as educators.

How can such "teachable moments" be encouraged? What can teachers do to inspire more of these educationally vital episodes? In this compelling book, Sam M. Intrator scrutinizes powerful learning moments in a high school classroom. He offers five detailed portraits of these experiences, describing in each case how the teacher shaped the culture of the class, made critical pedagogical decisions, and connected students to the subject matter. Intrator confirms that seemingly magical learning moments "can "be" "cultivated, and he suggests numerous practical ideas to help teachers do so.
