Interactive Modeling ─ A Powerful Technique for Teaching Children

Take your teaching to a new level. Use Interactive Modeling to teach academic and social skills, routines, transitions, use of materials—any behavior, skill, or routine that needs to be done in a specific way. When teachers use this technique, children quickly learn exactly what to do, and they remember better. You'll spend less time reteaching, and your students will spend more time learning.Specialist teachers, parents, coaches, and any other adults who work with children can adapt and use this technique.This book includes sample lessons, scripts, a planning guide, and a summary of research on the principles behind Interactive Modeling.

Margaret is the author of several other books, including three in the What Every Teacher Needs to Know series, and a regular contributor of articles and blog posts to www.responsiveclassroom.org.
