26.6.2017. WNPR ran a story of on one of my classes where I foreground the importance of using visual strategies to foster creative and critical growth. During the recordings the students were awesome. Click on the image to hear the story by David DesRoches and Ryan King. The online version has resources, further images, and a video of us in the classroom. Ryan King’s video is brilliant so be sure to it check out.
from Richard Deming’s Foreword:
In many ways, James Shivers’s More Numerous of: A Kinetic Approach is an important contribution not simply because it is the most comprehensive engagement of Bernstein’s work that exists so far, but because Shivers is so resolutely interested in the pedagogical himself. … Shivers does not simply end at determining the work is difficult, complex. He asks instead what we can make out of that complexity, what we can take from a text that resists us.
