This book had a lot of great practical strategies for getting students to reflect upon how and what they are learning. Some are old, some are new, but I appreciated the rationale and back history with each individual strategy. This is a "pick and choose and use" kind of book...meaning that you might end up not liking one strategy at all, and skipping it, etc. It isn't a heavy theory book, but does include a bit of theory with each strategy. I also appreciated the suggestions for how to differentiate the strategy foro different outcomes. Great book for practicing teachers.
