⭐️ 3.75 - ✨Full disclosure✨ I had to read this book for a three week course called “Teaching Learners to Learn” and I wanted to do the class because it was online, asynchronous, and only three weeks, tee hee 🤭

I have been pleasantly surprised by this book however, and did learn a lot about useful teaching and learning strategies for myself but also how to teach others strategies of how to best learn new information. I also love that this book is about different strategies to help teachers become better educators, but also how to better improve student’s motivation and environment to instill hope in their own abilities that increase their chances of learning.

While I think this book/class would be the most helpful for educators wanting to be professors/teachers etc. I still found the information and book very interesting and practical for teaching psychoeducation to clients in sessions :)
