This book should be in the hands of every teacher, regardless of how many years they have been in the classroom. It expertly summarizes and critiques diverse approaches to teaching and learning and presents them in a way that is highly digestible and actionable. Everyone can learn something from this book. I am particularly enjoying the section on theories of learning and factors affecting learning -- highly recommend!
