Learning How to Learn
by Joseph D. Novak
For almost a century, educational theory and practice have been influenced by the view of behavioral psychologists that learning is synonymous with behavior change. In this book, the authors argue for the practical importance of an alternate view, that learning is synonymous with a change in the meaning of experience. They develop their theory of the conceptual nature of knowledge and describe classroom-tested strategies for helping students construct new and more powerful meanings and to integrate thinking, feeling, and acting. In their research, they have found consistently that standard educational practices that do not lead learners to grasp the meaning of tasks usually fail to give them confidence in their abilities. It is necessary to understand why and how new information is related to what one already knows. All those concerned with the improvement of education will find something of interest in Learning How to Learn.

Designed to improve the way you study, this book can help you learn anything -- from art history to zoology.

The Courage to Teach
by Parker J. Palmer
Written to accompany the best-selling book The Courage to Teach, this study guide provides the tools that enable teachers to reflect upon key issues raised in the book and apply their learnings to their own teaching practice. Parker Palmer's book, The Courage to Teach, takes the reader on a journey to explore the inner landscape of a teacher's life: the intellectual, the emotional, and the spiritual dimensions. This study guide will help teachers -- both individually and in groups -- reflect upon their own teaching practice and vocation from the vantage point of all three dimensions. Palmer's guide for reflection raises questions, explores avenues of thought, and introduces issues not contained, but springing forth from, the teachings and insights contained in The Courage to Teach.
