...The Maxim Classbook is a textbook written from the child’s perspective. While meeting all the needs of a textbook, it goes much beyond by empowering and supporting the individual child in each class to understand the lessons largely by themselves, document their efforts, set targets and meet them. The Classbook is organised as a series of interactive worksheets that integrate theory and teacher lesson plans in creative ways. They support the teacher to achieve maximum success from a class.
