Understanding by Design overload. Lol

Nothing groundbreaking here, though there were some nice reminders of how to effectively teach the kids we have in front of us.

Read second version, which is not on Goodreads.

[Stuart Macalpine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview of ideas Greg and Jay have been developing and talking over for some time - but nice to get it all in one place. Useful step by step guidance for processes, and some really interesting ideas on 'preferred future' visioning.

It's almost a great read with many links to practical tools. I almost loved the entire book, except the last chapter. It feels like, the last chapter is written to introduce a product.
