BEYOND
THE CLASSROOM WINDOW
ACTION ACTIVITY: Industrial
Technology – Construction
Research
indicates that the bond that exists between the
student and the teacher is directly proportional to the students’ willingness
to absorb information presented. Understanding
this concept, the learning strategy called “Beyond The Classroom Window” utilizes action activities designed to promote, enhance or
reinforce this bond. Proper preparation
and application of this strategy creates an atmosphere of “family.” Discipline
problems are replaced with a desire for learning adventure. Photo: Coulterville Industrial Technology students standing with
