It can either continue down a destructive path of conformity and standardization, or it can open up to the unique gifts that each student and teacher bring to the educative process. Pockets of Freedom champions the latter and proposes that educators, guided by their hearts' powerful intuition, create \"pockets of freedom\" within their teaching\/learning environments to support the shift toward student-centered learning. In this book, three teachers, spanning a range from pre-school through the university level, share stories that illuminate the process of creating freedom spaces within their classrooms, supporting their goal of awakening self-guided learning in all their students. Despite teaching, for the most part within traditional public institutions, they succeeded. And now you can learn how by reading their stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors and teachers Phyl Brazee, Lisa Plourde, and Sue Haynes invite readers into their classrooms to discover how they: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee the unique potential in each and every student through honoring their needs, interests, and passions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObserve and trust their intuition through involving their hearts as well as their heads in moment-to-moment decision-making\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate their students through honoring their learning process and how they make meaning in their lives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShare power in authentic ways through promoting risk-taking, choice-making, and collaboration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy creating pockets of freedom within whatever teaching and learning settings educators find themselves, they can exercise the powerful potential to transform education in service of authentic teaching and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 24, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52558220427571,"sku":"9781627878364","price":24.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/q-78yJWbpI9781627878364.webp?v=1761209679","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/pockets-of-freedom-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
