Barb Johnson-Teacher of the Year

Chapter 7:Effective teaching in Bransford highlights the teaching method of Barb Johnson. Where was she when i needed her. I would have love to have a teacher like her who's teaching method dealt with the psychology of learning. We usually want to learn what it is that interests us, thus motivates us to search and look for more information. Barb Johson understood this psychology and incorporated it into curriculum, while also tying in the other requisites for her classroom. She made learning fun and interesting. She taught her students usable knowlege rather than inert knowlege. No wonder parents wanted their children to learn from Barb. So would I.
