Tune Up Your Teaching & Turn On Student Learning: Move From Common to Transformed Teaching & Learning in Your Classroom

Two teaching experts offer methods for maximizing student comprehension in all areas of education—with extensive research and practical examples.

All teachers want their students to think, learn, and understand. In this helpful guide, veteran educators Dr. JoAnn Jurchan and Dr. Chuck Downing examine what successful teachers are doing—and not doing—to achieve those goals. Often without realizing it, many teachers provide students ways to complete their assignments with minimal effort or comprehension. The problem is how to avoid the "TMI" trap—because Too Much Information can stifle critical thinking.

Tune Up Your Teaching provides clear and detailed methods teachers can use to raise the level of both thinking and learning in their classrooms. Written in a conversational style, Jurchan and Downing use concrete examples in all core areas of education. To clarify critical points, the authors include "He Said She Said" dialogues providing insight into their thought process.

Neither a "cookbook" nor a "one size fits all" solution, Tune Up Your Teaching instead describes a research-based process that can be personally tailored by any teacher to her or his situation.
