Would you want to be a student in your own classroom? In Passionate Learners: How to Engage and Empower Your Students, author Pernille Ripp challenges both novice and seasoned teachers to create a positive, interactive learning environment where students drive their own academic achievement. You’ll discover how to make fundamental changes to your classroom so learning becomes an exciting challenge rather than a frustrating ordeal. Based on the author’s personal experience of transforming her approach to teaching, this book outlines how to:
* Build a working relationship with your students based on mutual trust, respect, and appreciation
* Be attentive to your students’ needs and share ownership of the classroom with them
* Break out of the vicious cycle of punishment and reward to control student behaviour
* Use innovative and creative lesson plans to get your students to become more engaged and intellectually-invested learners, while still meeting your state standards
* Limit homework and abandon traditional grading so that your students can make the most of their learning experiences without unnecessary stress
