Description
Dime-a-dozen ideas for reforming education seem to be everywhere these days; few actually transform the everyday experience of the 50-million-plus students who are regularly subjected to traditional lecturing, note-taking, and rote learning - often with dismal results. Enter Deeper Learning, 'a fast read [that] will interest educators who want to produce self-motivated, passionate learners' (Library Journal) by education strategist Monica R. Martinez and sociologist Dennis McGrath.
