Hopkins translates the theoretical ideas of Piaget, Vygotsky, and Feuerstein into practical suggestions for teachers to use with their students. Students will benefit from these principles, and teachers may find their cognitive abilities transformed as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs inspirational as it is practical, the book offers creative suggestions that help students build perseverance and diligent work habits. \u003ci\u003eTeaching How to Learn in a What-to-Learn Culture\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to apply to any and all learners, including students with special needs, and is richly illustrated with stories, activities, and useful examples from across the content areas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR TEACHING HOW TO LEARN IN A WHAT-TO-LEARN CULTURE\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kathy Hopkins has a gift for bringing research to life with practical strategies for parents and teachers.
