This book provides a concise summation of research on effective practice, as well as useful ideas and examples that could apply in any number of realms, both personal and professional. Definitely a lot of food for thought for educators here on how we can develop classroom pedagogy and curriculum that better adheres to these principles. As a special education teacher, the frame presented here is especially relevant in considering how we can move beyond simply telling kids to try harder, and instead provide useful and specific direction on which skills need to be practiced, and how.
