UPGRADE - New release by DR. JOY ISA, EdD

 

How can African educators ensure that their graduates are not just knowledgeable, but equipped with the critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making skills needed in today’s rapidly evolving world? The solution lies in a simple yet powerful shift: moving from rote note copying to effective note taking.

 

In Upgrade, Dr. Joy Isa, EdD, uncovers the historical context of note copying and contrasts it with the transformative potential of note taking. By embracing this shift, educators can revolutionize the way students engage, learn, and think. Packed with actionable strategies, this insightful book serves as a guide to embedding critical thinking into school culture, fostering creative learning experiences, and mastering questioning techniques that spark students’ curiosity.

​

Do you want to transform your students from passive learners into critical thinkers? Do you want to empower your educational institution to produce learners who thrive in the 21st-century workforce? Then, it’s time to embrace innovative teaching methods that shape the future. 

It’s time to UPGRADE!
