<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><i> Freedom to Learn </i> combines an application of behavioral science and neuropsychology to create a powerful process for classroom environments in which the universal needs of children are met and students want to succeed. Packed with practical teaching methods this guide gives teachers the tools to transform even difficult classrooms. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b> Ditch the behavioral charts and start teaching for universal success </b></p><p> Disinterested students and behavioral problems are all too common in schools. Yet results show that behavior charts and other reward-and-punishment systems simply don't work. Teachers are burning out and students are failing. But what can be done? </p><p> The secret lies in a unique combination of behavioral science, neuropsychology, and group dynamics. When teachers get the classroom experience right, students want to succeed and achieve to their potential, while behavioral problems largely vanish. </p><p> For decades, it has been widely accepted that children have motivating needs including the need to avoid pain, a need for autonomy, and the need to belong. The authors harness these motivations into a method of interactions that increases cooperation, and in which children want to succeed and help others to thrive. </p><p> Packed with real classroom examples and practical guidance for using the methods, this guide gives teachers the tools to transform even difficult classrooms. </p><p> Start teaching for universal success in classroom management and academic accomplishments. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p> Ditch the behavioral charts and start teaching for universal success </p><p><i> I was hooked on the book on the first page of the preface </i> .-- Dr. Stan Paine, former National Distinguished Principal and Oregon Elementary Principal of the Year </p><p><i> Provides a comprehensive and flexible means of managing psychological and physical needs in children to motivate growth through effective learning.
