"The Constructivist Teacher's Bible"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As a novice constructivist practitioner, I consider this as my "Constructivist Teacher's Bible". PRACTICAL application of the philosophy/theories. Amen! Still in doubt? Here's a tip : When you visit a school which practices a constructivist curriculum, check out the school's administrators/teachers' library. Chances are you'd see a copy of this book (probably alongside the theory-laden "100 Languages..") on the shelf. Enough said!
