Title: Working on Creating More Work
Review: This book takes the most basic teaching principles and turns them into something of a project. The focus seems to me process not product--more of a top down approach in a roundabout way. I agree with the other criticisms that this offers little in the way of new and exciting ideas yet screams of educational lingo in an almost College of Education type of style. Most good educators strive everyday to be more innovative, creative and seek to develop a love for life-long learning in students. Why else would we be in the field? I am not sure that I needed to read this book to remind myself of that when I have 130 students to remind me of my purpose everyday. The reader that said that administrators love this and teachers hate it hit the nail on the head.
Is the review positive or negative?
