Book Description

November 1, 2005 1578863120 978-1578863129
Here, author Keen Babbage uses the term extreme students to describe successful, conscientious, dedicated, cooperative, scholarly, and exemplary learners and presents research-based insights into these characteristics. Being an extreme student is an opportunity available to every individual. The quality and quantity of academic success associated with extreme students is not limited to a select few. By establishing classroom conditions and experiences that create, encourage, nurture, challenge and develop the characteristics of an extreme student, more students can reach this level.

This book is a powerful combination of bold ideals to ponder and practical, realistic actions to implement. It is a call to contemplation and a call to action. Keen Babbage, encourages students and teachers, parents, school administrators, political leaders, and citizens to remove the limits of thinking about student achievement and to remember the essential causes of their success.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Babbage, a veteran middle school and high school teacher and administrator, uses the term "extreme students" to describe successful, conscientious, and exemplary learners. Weaving research-based insights with real-life vignettes, he shows how to create and nurture these traits so that more students can become extreme students. (Reference and Research Book News )

The book is a quick read and may be useful for new teachers and those who feel they are growing stale. It clearly conveys insights about ways to be more creative, engaging, and effective. (CHOICE )

With a wealth of strategies and an abundance of examples, Babbage has opened up an exciting path that can enhance the relationship between teaching and creativity—and its impact on student learning. (Louisville Courier-Journal )
