What do I do About the Kid Who ...? 50 Ways to turn teaching into learning
Kathleen Gould Lundy
Every teacher has at least one pupil in their class that they worry they'll never be able to reach. A child who:
- is bullied
- is reluctant to speak in public
- can’t seem to fit in
- forgets
- finds it difficult to work in groups
- is not interested
- is overwhelmed by work assignments
In What Do I Do About the Kid Who … ? teachers learn how to create a learning environment that helps meet the needs of these pupils. Based on a wealth of experience, it presents simple and effective activities and strategies that teachers can use or adapt to make learning contextualised, inclusive, respectful, and creative.
Practical and functional, the book shows teachers how to structure curriculum-based activities so the day-to-day operation of the classroom is easier, more organized and meets the needs of all pupils.
This engaging and accessible book will help new and experienced teachers alike to generate a learning environment suitable for every member of their class, even those pupils who appear hard to reach.
