Pretty Useful

This book is pretty useful for teachers. I was required to buy it for a college class I took this summer. I learned some things about brain-based research I never knew before. It has lots of different activities that would be useful to review as a teacher. It's worth a read, in my opinion. It's worth checking out.

great resource for teaching methodologies

This book explores instructional strategies which are based on recent brain research. Clear explanations of instructional tools (and how, when and why to use them) is this book's stength. The book is well organized, making it a great resource to teachers. I use this book when I am designing lesson plans for the week ahead as the book encourages me to use a variety of instructional strategies and provides guidance in their implementation.
