The faculty here love this book. So much so that we actually give it away to other faculty members every few months.

Research shows that what we know in our hearts is true. What the state forces us to do through testing takes us totally in the opposite direction of what helps children to learn most. Lot’s of good insights in this book; I am still reading it.

This is a nice book on the important topics related to how people learn. It serves as an introductory text from which you can gather relevant references on the issues that are of the most interest to you.
The copy I bought at Amazon was defective, though. It was missing more than 20 pages!! But after I contacted the publisher, they quickly sent me a replacement book with no charge at all. (I did not try to contact Amazon for fear that the whole Amazon stock is defective in the same way.)
