CATALYST LEARNING CURRICULUM by Kristin Dotti
I did one of her workshops and it was amazing Tons of hands on activities and a real change in the approach to student learning. If you get a chance to attend one of her workshops you should go. She does lots of presentations at national meetings like NABT, NSTA, etc. I highly recommend her curriculum.
