Not only was John Wooden a great basketball coach, he was a master teacher. In fact, he was a great coach because he was a master teacher. What Wooden has learned from others in the classroom and perfected on the practice court are fundamental principles of effective teaching. This book conveys these principles.
Teaching, Learning, and Schooling in Social Context
Focusing on the need for reform in education, the authors propose transforming schools into "educating societies" to address dissatisfaction with current systems. Their theory, rooted in culture-sensitive developmental psychology, synthesizes insights from Vygotskian principles, cognitive science, anthropology, and sociolinguistics. Drawing from extensive research and practical experience, including the Kamehameha Elementary Education Program, they present a comprehensive approach to enhance educational practices from early childhood through higher education.
