Review
"Offers a well-documented analysis of how the brain works. Each of the research studies cited leads into a discussion of its classroom implications. Teachers really don't want to read about research studies. They want ideas that make them better teachers. The research studies give validity to the ideas presented for use in the classroom. This book is a welcome addition to books available in this field." (William Fitzhugh, Second-Grade Teacher 20051014)
"I have used information from this book in my presentations. The ideas are very practical and can be immediately implemented." (Steve Hutton, Educational Consultant 20051023)
"There's a strong possibility that this will become one of the most used books on the educator's bookshelf, and that's all to the good because ultimately it will be the students (and their brains) who benefit." (From the Foreword by Pat Wolfe )
"Informative, readable, and most of all, practical." (NACADA Journal, Spring 2007 20070214)
