Autor Noah Benshea, Robert C. Di Giulio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2005
A Compass for the Classroom provides guidance, support, and inspiration. The book presents a new model of reflection using the metaphor of a compass, with directional points of humility, honesty, love, and faith. It is a guide to finding one's way in life by always considering the four points in our decisions and views. The book provides teachers with something to feed the spirit to succeed in the somewhat selfless struggle that educators take on to help students learn and thrive. It includes examples of the compass points in action in classrooms, as well as assessment checklists for teachers and students.
