Do they lack confidence in what they perceive as a one-size-fits-all approach to learning? Or are they intent on adding a fourth R, religion, to the traditional three?

Unfortunately, in practice it does not always work out that way. For many families, charter schools and voucher systems are providing what they feel are the keys to better education.

The study of child development in the 20th century revolved around Jean Piaget’s theories, and the program clearly describes their central themes, covering the cognitive stages of development from birth to twelve years old, giving illustrations of children’s behavior at each level. Recent research is examined in relation to each stage and comparisons drawn with the theories of Jerome Bruner. The program concludes that children are more cognitively capable at an earlier age than Piaget suggested, but it is the ages rather than the stages that are disputed. Other developments such as metacognition and theory of mind are outlined, and recent research findings are reported.

Modern theories are explained using diagrams and real-life examples, and the program then goes on to discuss current research in the area of everyday memory. The reasons for forgetting are explored and the biological basis of memory outlined. In addition, the program examines ways of improving memory. The program emphasizes the radical shift from laboratory-based research to the study of memory in everyday life. The program also includes eight exercises for viewers to take part in, including memory tests and a video clip of a robbery to test recall for eyewitness testimony.

The program follows this development from the first cry of an infant in the delivery room through that of a seven-year-old, when language development is almost complete. The program features babies and children attempting to communicate, from crying and babbling to making grammatical errors to speaking fluently. The program discusses the arguments for and against the nature/nurture debate and the Interactionist view. The Whorf-Sapir hypothesis is described and illustrated with real-life examples.

Skinner, speaking just before his death, claims that reinforcement rather than higher mental processes is at work in learning. The cognitive behaviorists think differently!

Many examples of the perceptual theories are provided. In addition, the roles of Wundt, Wertheimer, Gregory, and Gibson are discussed, along with key perceptual concepts such as Weber’s Law, the Principle of Pragnaz, and the Laws of Proximity, Closure, and Continuity.

In this timeless program, acclaimed presenter Dr. Richard Curwin and noted educator and school psychologist Dr. Allen Mendler argue that students can develop internal controls and self-responsibility when teachers alter their traditionally adversarial classroom role. Drs. Curwin and Mendler are also cofounders of Discipline Associates and coauthors of Discipline with Dignity, Taking Charge in the Classroom,<$> and The Discipline Book: A Complete Guide to School and Classroom Management.<$> (28 minutes) <\#169><\!s>1991<\!s><@vcg><\#169><@vcm>M<@$p> @bin:<@format>DVD<@$p> <\#165> <@ISBN>ISBN 978-1-4213-6818-4<@$p> <\#165> $99.95 @bin:<@format>VHS<@$p> <\#165> <@ISBN>ISBN 978-0-7365-1458-3<@$p> <\#165> $99.95 @program titles:Respecting Diversity in the Classroom @body:<$>Too often educators look upon a multicultural classroom as a problem to be dealt with rather than a resource to be developed. Using actual classroom situations, this program is a "how to" primer offering innovative ideas about exploring the richness of culture and ethnicity. What is the difference between ethnicity and race? When children don<\#213>t respond, is it because of cultural differences or a teacher<\#213>s preconceived expectations? What roles can religion and language, both foreign and "street," play in the multicultural framework? What communication strategies best address differences in learning style and social interaction? This excellent workshop resource includes a 56-page facilitator<\#213>s guide with reproducible handouts.

In this program, ABC News correspondent Connie Chung documents the story of the group that came to be known as the Freedom Writers and their exemplary teacher. Challenging them to confront hatred through writing, Ms. Gruwell led her students to publish a nationally acclaimed book about their own experiences of violence and despair. "To feel hopeless at 16 is such a tragedy. And so many kids do," she says.

This bilingual program contains a powerful tool-chest full of lesson demonstrations, professional development videos, and an interactive quiz—all designed to help educators develop real-world teaching examples and applications. Five segments feature a high-energy middle-school teacher in action, leading students through measurement, equivalency, domain/range/reasonableness, problem-solving, and patterns. Five additional segments focus on professional development, presenting tips from experienced teachers on honing algebraic thinking, incorporating video and the Internet, implementing manipulative learning tools, and showing how math is used in everyday life. English or Spanish soundtrack, DVD only. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide—containing lesson plans, classroom activities, a helpful Web link, and more—is available online.

This program illustrates how teachers can use inquiry-based learning, a powerful teaching method, to motivate students to deepen their understanding about the world around them. Students tackle problems and ask questions instead of simply memorizing concepts in the abstract. What makes this video unique is that it shows teachers using this approach in their classes across grade levels, from kindergarten to college.

This program, filmed at Dartmouth College, will help students stay engaged with the coursework as it explains the necessity and the benefits of making a wholehearted commitment. The nine strategies presented by a mix of professors and students are: set goals, manage your time, keep up with reading, attend every lecture, take effective notes, do practice problems, apply yourse
