Shaking previous foundational assumptions of education, this book offers an incredible array of topics to supercharge learning in grade 5-12 classrooms. Whether you want your class to see the relevance of their learning, explore tough concepts, hone skills, or conduct classroom experiments, this book shows you how. All ideas are profound, easy to implement, and cost no money.

You can abandon rote learning with this middle and high school teaching guide. Encouraging both students and teachers to unlock their creativity, the authors provide guidance in lesson planning and ideas for creating unconventional homework, projects and tests that are cost-free and easy to implement. This book leads teachers away from endorsing competition and teacher-pleasing behavior, and offers ideas for independent thinking that will strengthen students' decision-making, deductive reasoning and emotional intelligence.

With more than twenty years of hands-on teaching experience, Elisheva Zeffren relishes experimenting with innovative strategies to reshape the learning experience. An educational consultant and high school teacher in Brooklyn, New York, she confers closely with principals and faculty, who have welcomed her assistance. A New York state licensed psychologist, Perella Perlstein has a private practice in Brooklyn, New York, and is an assistant professor in the psychology department at Lander College for Women.
