The handbook for the open classroom teacher. Anyone interested in teaching should pick this up. It made a world of difference for me in my second year of teaching. Still trying to figure out how to have a classroom without assigned seating. Some things are difficult to practice. So many people write on how to respond to certain situations in the classroom, while he focuses on when to back off. Good for anyone looking for practical anarchy.

So many people these days seem to be a fan of emergent learning. I am included in this group. Yet, it is really difficult to get anyone to define how to become an emergent learning teacher. Herbert Kohl manages to lead you through the steps of setting up an emergent classroom - BRAVO. This was written quite a few moons ago, but it is the best one I've read on the subject.

I believe I used parts of this book for a research project I did on teachers my freshmen year of high school. The publication date on my bibliography was 1976 though.
