This book demonstrates a unique synthesis of solid, up-to-the-minute learning theory with practical teaching strategies. The text melds writing across the curriculum, collaborative learning, student empowerment and cognitive development, with experienced classroom teaching. Specific focus is placed on the works of Perry, Williams, Parker and Belenky. The text's transformational approach emphasizes learning rather than teaching and the result is a totally integrated system.
