About the Book

Inquiry is becoming more and more an area of interest in education.

Review :
Brainball (ME) is more than a game—it reimagines the music classroom experience. Kolis, Kolis and Olson draw connections between athletics and music, where teachers (coaches) facilitate experiences that awaken a thirst for learning from all students, instead of a select few. Packed with resources and sample lesson plans, this book will change the way you teach. If it doesn’t, then you’re not playing the game. Are you ready? Music and sports are different ways in which young people learn about themselves and the world. They are unique within themselves, but hold many common ideas. This book, Brainball, exemplifies what excellent and creative teaching and learning looks like taking the best from both areas. This book examines how students learn best, and explores how individual learning combined with small communities of learners results in a much richer learning experience for everyone. The book contains wonderful model lessons from a master teacher to help readers implement many innovative ideas into their own classrooms. If you enjoy the journey of teaching and learning, you will love this book! Sarah and Mickey’s stories from the classroom ground the book in the realities of the classroom. They remind us that teaching and learning are social phenomenon that treats the process of both as an intellectual phenomenon of shared work. The lesson plan examples are excellent models of ways to actively engage students in musical behaviors, behaviors that are coached and changed within a learning-focused team.
