Tell Me More: Listening to Learners Explain

"Tell Me More" Listening to Learners Explain elaborates on Eleanor Duckworth's work in teaching and learning, which Maxine Greene has described as "open(ing) new landscapes for research, teaching, and interpretation." In this wonderful collection, Duckworth and six of her colleagues describe learners (who range in age from five to adulthood) coming to connect with seven different subject matters--from politics to poetry, medicine to mapping. Their findings not only provide good readable stories, but also offer a unique look at people involved in real learning. Features include:

• Critical examinations of philosophical and psychological ideas about learning
• Examples of the power of the human mind to come alive across a range of subject matters and situations
• Suggestions for pedagogical and curricular pathways that schools can initiate
