This book is totally addictive.

[sydney · Rating 3 out of 5]

Case studies of how teachers in very different schools are making hands-on, project-based learning work, despite rigid, uncreative state standards, illogical schedules, and pushback from school boards. Started slow for me, but picked up and kept me interested after that. Inspirational for teachers who are feeling constrained.

The author demonstrates through various schools how teachers emphasize the individual growth of their children as a whole person as well as positive members of society. They do this through creativity as they have to abide by the continuous changes and mandates for teaching.
