PressForLearning.com is the key resource for Home-schoolers, Unischoolers, Elementary Teachers, Educators, Constructivists, and Parents wishing to support their kids'regular schooling.

(PRWEB) January 28, 2005 -- This single book (8 1/2 x 11, 450 pages) contains approaches and actual subject matter for delivering the entirety of a superior K-5 education. It describes not only WHAT to teach, but also HOW to teach it using hundreds of hands-on activities, and much more.

Most distinctive is the organization. Typical elementary curricula consist of an array of stand-alone units, which kids readily forget, confuse, and from which they never gain a full picture. In sharp contrast, Nebel lays out each subject (K-5) as a seamless continuum of lessons integrating different subjects along the way. Simultaneously, Nebel shows you how to guide your children along this pathway in a way that builds logically and systematically toward a broad, comprehensive, holistic understanding. The result is achievement of knowledge, skills, understanding, and problem-solving ability that will provide a solid foundation for all further learning. Nebel's Elementary Education describes not only WHAT to teach, but also HOW to teach it.

The book is in total harmony with modern research concerning the most effective and efficient teaching techniques that bring children to become joyful, self-motivated learners. In short, this book may be considered a breakthrough in translating theory-what leads to the most effective and efficient learning-into a practical curriculum addressing all subjects.

The hallmark of Dr. Nebel's career is a sincere dedication to helping people understand the basics of science so that they will better understand problems of today's world and make more intelligent policy decisions. Holding a BA from Earlham College (1960) and a Ph.D. in plant science from Duke University (1965) Dr. Nebel was among the early developers of environmental science curricula in the 70s and authored one of the first, textbooks for that subject. Throughout his career in environmental science Dr. Nebel maintained an active avocation in working with younger children and studying how children learn.

Becoming increasingly appalled by what passes as science education in the lower grades, reinforced by the dearth of understanding shown by college, entry-level students Dr. Nebel shifted course to bring his eclectic knowledge, his skill in writing, and his understanding how children learn to bear on elementary education.

Therefore, this book is no off-the-cuff project. It is the culmination of over 40 years of experience and dedication.
