This book presents a number of ways to increase student ownership of learning. Each chapter presents a rich classroom portrait of the standards at work in student-centered, real-world experiences and activities. Students direct the inquiry process in chapters on interest groups and the Iditarod dogsled race; in other chapters, their teachers learn to respond to growing cultural diversity in the classroom, shift from basal readers to literature-based learning, and rethink the purposes of assessment.
