How can you fill the expanded blocks of time when your school goes to alternative schedule? What do you need to change about how you teach — and what will still work?

Evidence shows that lecturing for a full class period or using worksheets as a time filler just won't do it. Here is the help you need to create a meaningful classroom environment that stimulates, rather than discourages, active learning and participation. Teach your students how to accumulate real knowledge, develop principles, and build skills — not just memorize facts.

This practical, step-by-step teaching approach is based on the latest research on learning and multiple intelligences. Ensure that what you teach isn't going in one ear and out the other, but is committed to students' long-term memory. Change to interactive thinking activities — and increase your students' success.

Here are the keys to transforming your classroom from teacher focused to student focused. Change your mission from students getting the lesson to students learning how to learn. Move your emphasis from filling the time to showing students how to construct knowledge.
