This book will show you how to develop lessons that will inspire students and ignite the desire to learn. Red light methods of teaching, basically chalk and talk don't engage the student and very little learning results. While the book mainly uses examples from primary school the ideas it generates are also applicable across high school as well where students would welcome some creative teaching approaches in the classroom

Contents Each chapter has several examples of lessons and an anaylsis of how you might use the green light techniques examined in that chapter compared to using redlight techniques and the difference that would make to your teaching and student outcomes
