Wynn Dee Blassie Some of the ideas and activities contained within this book were conceptualized by Dee Blassie and developed through her experiences of over twenty years of teaching. Other ideas and activities were conceptualized by Mychal Wynn as a result of his research, work with children, beliefs, and experiences as a parent. Still, other ideas and activities were conceptualized by teachers, passed on to and expanded upon by other teachers, and eventually shared with or witnessed by either Dee or Mychal. No matter where the ideas were born or who expanded upon them, they represent proven strategies which are available to anyone who wants to help children realize their potential. Lessons and activities help teachers to develop more effective parent communication and a more positive classroom climate and culture.
Students become eager participants in cultivating a classroom of dreamers and academic achievers.
Mychal Wynn shares his knowledge and experiences in educational research, demonstration lessons with K-12 students in schools throughout the United States, and practical examples of how to apply research within the everyday classroom. Dee Blassie, recognized as a teacher of excellence, shares over twenty years of elementary school teaching experience. Dee has earned the love of her students and their parents, and the admiration of her colleagues.
