I haven't finished this book, because it's a moot point now since I'm retired. I bought this over a decade ago and while I didn't read it cover-to-cover, I have used the activities from it, picking and choosing what I thought I'd like to try. It's been on my reading list, and I finally decided to get it off the list.

Not exactly riveting, but lot's of good information for anyone who wants to vary their instruction. Very practical.

I do not understand- if block scheduling is the exciting way to successful schools, why are books about it so boring?
