Publisher Description:

Flip The Switch! How to Get Students Into Learning Mode Now.
What is it that separates classrooms that have an atmosphere of stagnation and passivity from ones that are electric with motivation and engagement?

In this book, education expert Gayle Gregory offers the conditions necessary to foster an environment of active, visible learning in a brain-compatible climate. In its pages you'll find:

  • What teachers should do to reach targeted standards using theories such as Growth Mindsets and Panksepp's SEEKING system
  • What an instructionally intelligent teacher has in her repertoire that impacts student success
  • Strategies that activate student thinking and target learning intentions through differentiation and the use of collaboration, formative assessment, and feedback
