Total Participation Techniques: Making Every Student an Active Learner (2nd Edition) Audiobook

Total Participation Techniques: Making Every Student an Active Learner is an essential toolkit for teachers who want to present lessons that are relevant, engaging, and cognitively challenging, packed with examples from authentic classrooms.

Pérsida Himmele and William Himmele bring a wealth of knowledge, from years of regularly working with preservice teachers and consulting with educators in U.S. and international schools.

Here are 51 easy-to-use, classroom-tested alternatives to the “stand and deliver” teaching techniques that cause so many students to tune out or drop out. Teachers report that these techniques motivate students to participate in learning, as they build confidence and are supported by compelling and safe ways to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of lessons.

Refined through years of classroom experiences and supported by updated research, this 2nd edition delivers a dozen new techniques to engage K–12 students in active learning.

The authors provide detailed descriptions of the Total Participation Techniques (TPTs) with step-by-step instructions--plus reproducible blackline masters for student response cards as well as posters to remind you to use the techniques. They also suggest how you can adapt and personalize the techniques to fit your context and content.

Total Participation Techniques is expertly read by Kim Handysides. All visual materials referenced in the text are included in the supplementary PDF. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
