Book Synopsis

This book explains how traditional teaching, testing and schooling developed. It describes a more powerful approach to education that engages student brains much more effectively. It shows how great schools and ordinary people from around the world use this _guided experience_ approach. And it explains why public education resists change, no matter what research proves.

Arthur L. Costa

This book should be required reading for any educational policy makers including school board members, parents, legislators, as well as educators.
