I enjoyed what this book offered. Many of the ideas presented weren't necessarily NEWS to this educator, but I did learn about the neurology behind some practices. I was happy to see some of the practices that are pushed by educational consultants and administrators are actually counterproductive. I'm happy that I can go into the next school year armed with this book to justify some of my choices.

I LOVE JUDY WILLIS - need I say more??? This book has a wealth of information that I have referenced time & time again during the course of my post-bacc certification program and my Masters program. Any teacher that is interested in the most effective and efficient ways to reach students should take a look at Willis' work - it's amazing and full of scientific and research-based approaches that make you sit back and say, "Why didn't I think of this???"
Author is a neurologist turned middle school math teacher. Text focuses on brain research and student engagement. Excellent chapter on assessment practices. Favorite quote: "Nonscientists, especially partisan politicians or corporations with vested interest in a particular curriculum or government-endorsed education policy, can take unscrupulous advantage of the changeability in scientific research results to misread data as support for their vested interests.”
Loved the book! Judy Willis is a neurologist turned educator. She provides a wealth of information and research-based suggestions about how to engage students in the learning process
Intriguing and useful. It explained much of the research that I've read, and it gave many useful classroom ideas to make the research effective. Thanks, Andrea, for the incredible birthday gift!
Great strategies!
