[quote=Anonymous]JGBs are more than just the stories, it's also a teaching method that is based on a "shared inquiry" model. DCPS schools that have the books are also providing teacher training to get the most out of the program. The training involves helping teachers use the readings to cross curriculum areas, to help kids really think about what they are reading and ask questions and draw their own conclusions. Also, the group discussions are done in way where students ask and answer the questions, the teacher guides them. In the right hands, it can be a powerful teaching tool.[/quote]
