By adopting accelerated learning principles you can teach in a way that maximises your students' chances of reaching their potential. With practical strategies and techniques that get results, Brin Best explains in the Accelerated Learning Pocketbook how to prepare your students for learning and how to create the right learning environment. A chapter on teaching strategies covers questioning techniques and styles of teaching and learning, with suggested activities helpfully linked to each of the multiple intelligences first identified by Howard Gardner. Later, a detailed self-evaluation framework, which you can use to review and develop practice, allows you to assess the extent to which you have already adopted accelerated learning principles. To quote one head of science, "some books have a good idea every few pages; this one has a few good ideas on every page."
