Help your teachers and your students face the biggest challenge education offers: the fundamental, necessary change from total reliance on a teacher to self-directed, self-motivated lifelong learning. Focuses on teaching students to learn how to learn. Promotes the concept of SDL, where students begin to teach themselves based on knowledge of their own work habits, insights, and value systems. If you're a principal, superintendent, or teacher who wants to change learning and teaching in your school or district - or if you're a counselor who wants to help students identify and modify self-destructive behavior - this practical, step-by-step guidebook points the way.
