Time to Teach, Time to Learn

by Chip Wood

Chip Wood boldly confronts the epidemic of busy-ness in our nation's K-8 schools. He shows how changing the way we use time will transform our schools from the "fact factories" they have become into the democratic communities of learning which they can and should be, schools in which the pace of the day encourages investigation, contemplation, completion, and community.

[Miranda · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don’t agree with everything he said but any educational book that makes you question your own teaching practices is good with me!

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

What he and the studies cited would change schools and improve them. The book was written over 10 years ago, but nothing has been done and schools are still doing what was shown in studies to be incorrect, no wonder nothing has changed. All that is ever done to 'improve' education is rearrange the chairs on the deck.
