How can teachers transform classroom teaching and learning by making pedagogy more socially and culturally responsive  more relevant to students lives  and more collaborative? How can they engage disaffected students in learning and at the same time promote deep understanding though high-quality teaching that goes beyond test preparation? This text for prospective and practicing teachers introduces engaging  innovative pedagogy for putting active and dramatic approaches to learning and teaching into action. Written in an accessible  conversational  and refreshingly honest style by a teacher and professor with over 30 years experience  it features real examples of preschool  elementary  middle  and high school teachers working in actual classrooms in diverse settings. Their tales explore not only how  but also why  they have changed the way they teach. Photographs and stories of their classroom practice  along with summarizing charts of principles and strategies  both illuminate the critical  cross-curricular  and inquiry-based conceptual framework Edmiston develops and provide rich examples and straightforward guidelines that can support readers as they experiment with using active and dramatic approaches to dialogue  inquiry  building community  planning for exploration  and authentic assessment in their own classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984479711285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415531012","price":38.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415531016.jpg?v=1770834612","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/transforming-teaching-and-learning-with-active-and-dramatic-approaches","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
