Tell Me More: Listening to Learners Explain

by Eleanor Duckworth (Editor)

“Tell Me More”: Listening to Learners Explain elaborates on Eleanor Duckworth’s work in teaching and learning, which Maxine Greene has described as “open(ing) new landscapes for research, teaching, and interpretation.” In this wonderful collection, Duckworth and six of her colleagues describe learners (who range in age from five to adulthood) coming to connect with seven different subject matters—from politics to poetry, medicine to mapping. Their findings not only provide good readable stories, but also offer a unique look at people involved in real learning. Features

This helped me understand styles of teaching that weren't used when I was in school. It gave me a clearer picture of the advantages for teacher and student, and would really benefit someone in the field.

Duckworth has an interesting take on education. Give students room to uncover their own ideas.
