Enhance classroom practice by promoting an open and shared process with your students! Middle-school students have much to say about the quality of their schooling experiences and can provide rich insight into what works for them and what doesn't. Educators Penny Bishop and Susanna Pflaum demonstrate how to enhance classroom practice by inviting students to offer feedback on pedagogy, learning styles, and their individual preferences and needs. Written for new and experienced primary teachers, the unique framework of this book takes its cue from the students themselves by using their own words and drawings, combined with the authors' action research, insightful analysis, and shared experiences. Highlights of this powerful resource include: - Instructional strategies and content-area learning - Social interactions within the classroom that promote or inhibit learning - Learner insights into their own engagement and disengagement in the classroom - Student drawings, reflective questions for teachers, mini-lessons, and frequently asked questions about consulting students and honoring their insights Reaching and Teaching Middle School Learners focuses on the learning needs of adolescents as identified by the students themselves. By promoting an open and shared process with your students, you can meet the unique challenges of working with middle school learners and create a positive schooling experience for all.

Als der Herausgeber dieser Buchreihe iiber die Verbrennungskraftmaschine, Herr Professor Dr. Hans List, die Bandfolge im Jahre 1938 entwarf, war folgerichtig unter den ersten Banden mit den grundlegenden Themen des Motorenbaus auch der hier jetzt vor- gelegte Band 3 iiber den Warmeiibergang in der Verbrennungskraftmaschine eingeplant. Die bis zu jenem Zeitpunkt erzielten und verbreiteten allgemeinen Kenntnisse iiber den Warmeiibergang geniigten nicht fiir die Vorgange im Verbrennungsmotor. Beim naheren Zusehen zeigte sich, daB nur NuBelt im Jahre 1923 und Eichelberg im Jahre 1937 weg- weisende Arbeiten auf diesem Sondergebiet veroffentlicht hatten. Zu jener Zeit wiirde sich aus heutiger Sicht fUr die Buchreihe nur ein schmaler Band ergeben haben, weil die weiteren und notwendigen Erkenntnisse in Verbindung mit der allgemeinen Entwicklung des Motors erst in den Jahren ab 1950 im 1n- und Ausland gewonnen wurden. Der erstgenannte der Verfasser hat bei seinen friiheren Berechnungen urn das Jahr 1932 iiber die Hochaufladung die sparlichen Erkenntnisse iiber den Warmeiibergang in del' Verbrennungskraftmaschine zu spiiren bekommen und daher durch eigene Arbeiten ver- sucht, klarend zu wirken. Als vor mehreren Jahren Prof. List anfragte, ob er - Pflau- bereit sei, den Band 3 zu verfassen, konnte zugestimmt werden. Da bekannt war, daB damals noch keine zusammenfassende Darstellung dieses Sondergebietes vorlag und mog- lichst viele der verstreuten Einzeldarstellungen zu erfassen und zu verarbeiten waren, konnte leicht dem Wunsche des Verlags nach einem zweiten und jiingeren Verfasser ent- sprochen werden. Del' erstgenannte Verfasser fand ihn in seinem langjahrigen friiheren Mitarbeiter auf diesem Gebiet.
