Product Description

Synopsis

High expectations play a central role in encouraging student achievement, argues Massachusetts public school teacher and education consultant Berger. He describes his work with students and schoolteachers and compares it to carpentry, where craftsmanship is valued as part of the culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars A seminal work 3 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is difficult to overstate the potential significance of this little book to the education of young people. It represents a paradigm-shift in terms of beliefs and practices about what can be achieved in terms of quality of work by all students. Its alluring charm is its simplicity and self-evident authenticity; its warmth and generosity; its conviction and passion for student success. Having visited schools in the states that have modelled their practices on Ron Berger's approaches, I have seen levels of student engagement, achievement and self-esteem beyond anything I thought possible in mainstream schooling systems. Those involved in running our schools should take note; those who work in them, who really care about students, should devour this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy some Berger 20 Nov 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This man is an inspiration to educators. Too little known perhaps, his prose is as artfully crafted as his philosophy. Lots of practical stuff, with a deeply rich philosophy at underpins his ideas. You will become a Berger convert and will want others to do the same - buy it and see!
