5.0 out of 5 stars Should be a great resource for educators in many settings., March 28, 1999

This review is from: Creating a Climate for Power Learning: 37 Mind-Stretching Activities (Paperback)

DR. Clark's book helped me rethink my approach to a number of content areas allowing me to clarify a better way to convey concepts and to increase student readiness to learn. One beauty of the book is its variety. There are so many different types of ideas and activities. They help the educator stretch, get out of a rut and combat educator burnout.

I have been in Carolyn's workshops and CREATING A CLIMATE FOR POWER LEARNING has some of her best exercises in it. If you want to lighten up a learning group, this is the book for you.
