How should I adjust my teaching for different learning styles?  And, more. <i>Why  Don’t Students Like School?</i> will help teachers improve their practice by explaining how they and their students think and learn.  It will be a valuable resource for both veteran and novice teachers, teachers-in-training, and for the principals, administrators, and staff development professionals who work with them. 5024862 16 3 2009 Why Don't Students Like School: A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom total:62|5:19|4:31|3:8|2:3|1:1| 62 250 176 33 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 16 13:52:00 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 14:04:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 4 false false Fri Apr 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 16:49:44 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 11:05:06 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 18:03:45 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 19:22:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 5 false false Wed May 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 14:11:42 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 12:58:56 -0700 2009
