Below are the works used to provide the research for the assertions made in the articles Teach Like Water and Successful College Students. Both may be found on Articlesbase.com Be aware that even though the arcticles are linked to specific principles, most of them overlap with other principles.
Note, both articles will be incorportated into a book to be ready, hopefully, but early 2010. I am presently conducting more research to find better ways to engage students in the learning process. Any comments on this topic may be sent to swyre@charter.net
