Free to Learn Free to Teach
The Joy of Learning is being replaced by numbers on a test sheet - We must do something about that! Our Children are Children - they are not machines or chips to be used in the high-stakes testing game. Children must be Free to Learn. Teachers- the people who care about our children and know how children learn and grow must be Free to Teach. The Valued Relationships - Parent and Child; Parent and Teacher; Teacher and Child, have always been treasured. Political systems are replacing them. Maturation and Readiness - Children are being asked to learn skills before they are developmentally ready or able. "Standards" are not reachable. The Intangibles - The Arts; Music, Art, Literature, Drama; are being lost. Children's excitement in learning is not being acknowledged. The American Public School System - one of the great movements in the history of the world is in jeopardy.
Growing and Learning
One Size Learning Does Not Fit All Children! Growing and Learning is based on the idea that each of us learns in our own unique way, at our own special pace. Most learning programs are set out in a sequential, rigid pattern and the child must learn in that pattern and at the rate required to be on level or to not “get behind.” Growing and Learning requires that the program be fitted to the child not the child fitted to the program. Your child will be learning the skills and information at his own pace and in his own best learning pattern. Your child, and not the program, will be at the center of the learning process.

The Coach's Toolbox
The basic purpose of this book is to take the ideas that we have discovered about how people learn and how they operate in this world and to use these ideas to help our kids play the game better and enjoy the game more. These ideas are universal—they're present in everything we learn—and they're present in all sports. You don't need a degree in psychology to use them. In fact, I hope you'll keep saying to yourself, “This is just good, common sense.” There's Sports and there's Psychology and the two fit together very nicely.

Breaking the Testing CodeExactly what are Standardized Achievement Tests and what is their purpose and their proper usage?
