They walk away from it with not only a sound set of teaching strategies, but a strong sense of why they would use them, and a belief that they can teach like this?Bravo!??Donna H. Topping, Millersville University?[Classrooms That Work]?s strengths are the knowledge of the authors, the organization and conversational tone of the text, and the emphasis on ?all children can learn?? I believe the information presented changed my students? perspectives on how reading and writing should be viewed and taught.??Brenda Bradshaw, Southwest Missouri State University?[This book] is easy to understand.
