I like how the author explains what case-based learning is and provides a great step-by-step framework to create your own case. While he mentions using this at all levels of education, I would’ve loved to see more on how this could be achieved in both lower and upper elementary grades. This would be a good book for middle and high school teachers.
*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.*
Stanley and Prufrock have produced another work, that is meant to help and aid classroom educators. The way that the Case Based Studies are presented makes for a more real world experience for students, Stanley even shows how the Case Based Learning can be used across the spectrum, from Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. Included is a nice reference section also. The whole Case-Based Learning is not a totally new idea, just a old one being represented in a way that the modern 21st Century Educator can use it to improve, and in-power their Students. Only 161 pages filled with most of the information that the educator will need, but resources and references are provided too. Well worth the $29.95 price and is one of those books that should be found in a good middle or high school media canter for use by all educators.
