About this ebook
The TOTIL method of education will help your child learn twice as much from kindergarten through high school. Its easy to understand and even easier to implement.
TOT stands for time on task, and IL stands for independent learning. By focusing on these two key areas, your child can be home-schooled to become better at math, English, and advanced subjects. He or she will be able to write, research, and think better when its time to enter college.
Dr. Doris Leclerc Ball, a retired teacher and psychologist, spent more than forty years perfecting the TOTIL method. In this guidebook, youll discover
the critical importance of learner-centered education;
the obsolete nature of most teachers and how to replace them;
the simple curriculum and materials your child needs to succeed;
many other insights on how to help your child learn.
Your child can master the knowledge and skills necessary to compete at the highest levels for grades, jobs, and more. It begins with a roadmap for Revolutionizing Education in America.
