Average Rating: 
Rating: - A new way of teaching
This book makes a lot of sense. It is surprising and disappointing to find that most teachers do not teach this way. The book is full of research and examples of how to ensure that students get the most out of any curriculum. Hopefully the teaching strategies outlined in this book will become the standard instead of the exception.
