Teacher and author Jonathan Erwin presents The Classroom Of Choice, an approach to classroom education heavily grounded in the five basic human needs of William Glasser's "Choice Theory": survival and security, love and belonging, power through cooperation and competency, freedom, and fun. Adapting teaching methods to attend to these needs allows teachers to customize their classroom environment and groom students to motivate and monitor themselves. An open-minded approach that blends idealism with practical requirements, and an excellent supplementary tour of tips, tricks, techniques and methodologies to enhance instruction, written especially for teachers but also applicable to parents.
