Easier ways
to win a high-caliber performance from your students - and from
yourself! This is NOT a time management course - but you can achieve
more for far less effort and workload! These 24 contact hours
provide you a set of general and specific techniques to discover
and nurture giftedness in the full range of your students, and
in yourself. Given the right procedures, even mental retardates
originate workable inventions, which only a few gifted people
are supposed to be able to do. When he was the age of your students,
Albert Einstein was generally and with cause believed to be mildly
retarded. Yet after doing some of what you are about to do here,
he became so gifted that his name the world over is a household
word for "genius." You don't have to be an Einstein
to make this work for you, in small ways or large.
1.Smarter,
Not Harder: an Adventure in Modern Socratic Method. Your students
can do nearly all your actual workload and effortload - and do
it well, and love it! How even your largest class can be an easy-going,
high-achieving, stimulating, involving, rewarding intense little
seminar!?! Text: Win Wenger's How to Be a Better Teacher, Today

and creative problem solving. Not only to give your students better
control over their own lives. Anyone who wishes to bring improvements
of any sort into the classroom is going to face problems, and
might as well be equipped with some of the world's most effective
methods for solving problems. Also: there is such a huge overlap
between creativity and learning that nearly every one of the hundreds
of creative solution-finding methods now in professional use around
the world also can serve, usually with little adaptation, as profoundly
accelerative learning techniques. Text: The Einstein Factor
plus the specially prepared course manual.
4.Specific
Techniques to build: understanding in both your students and yourself;
mastery of what you teach; intellectual skills; language and perceptual
skills; and true raw intellectual ability. Many of these techniques
also profoundly enhance or accelerate learning. These last are
quite different from, and complementary with, the accelerated
learning techniques more often taught, and so provide teachers
a much wider range of resources to work from than with just the
one set. Text: Beyond Teaching And Learning plus the specially
prepared course manual.
Special Note:
A special
site to support teachers in the field in use of these and other
methods for enhanced and accelerated learning, is now being set
up on the world-wide web at http://www.botree.com/ where already
flourishes an e-magazine which has attracted many leading writers
in the field. This will feature display sites for specific techniques,
a forum or listserver, and expert guidance enlisted for the purpose.
It's special emphasis will be to encourage and systematize data-collection
on the effects of classroom use of any enhanced or accelerative
technique and, by guiding and supporting publication of findings,
advance the professional career of participating teachers. The
main site at botree.com will be backed up by additional linked
resources at http://www.anakin.com, http://www.winwenger.com,
an already-flourishing listserver in related processes (e-mail
listserver@o-m-n-n.com and for free type in just these two words:
subscribe imagestreaming ---you can always unsubscribe after),
and by other resources just now developing. Also - by popular
demand - the site will include an ongoing and accumulating
set of specific labor-saving and time-saving techniques, but the
main purpose of the overall site is to foster more effective teaching
and learning.
This site,
to support teachers in the field in use of improved/enhanced/accelerated
techniques of teaching and learning, will do so world-wide and
with respect to all suitable methods and approaches. It is expected
to be operational by or before October 15, 1997 at http://www.botree.com/
