ABSTRACT

This chapter explores ways in which learning using analytical thinking, critical thinking, and problem solving can make the learning experience extraordinary and “unbelievably satisfying.” When teachers share leadership and play to the strengths of the student, there it goes again, “gulp, gulp, gulp—ahhhhhhh.” Students crave honest and specific praise, and when they get it from an observant teacher, “gulp, gulp, gulp—ahhhhhhh.” Canny teachers purposefully engage students in hands-on projects designed to leave students with a taste for more, while energetic and enthusiastic teachers create fun and active learning environments where students’ excitement can’t help but bubble to the surface, “gulp, gulp, gulpahhhhhhh.” explored ways in which learning using analytical thinking, critical thinking, and problem solving can make the learning experience extraordinary and “unbelievably satisfying.”.
