This is an excellent resource for teachers who wish to invigorate the learning experience and make their classrooms an interesting place where students thrive rather than merely endure the class. The special stress on active learning encourages students to take control of their education and promotes a stronger and more rewarding learning dynamic.
Bob Sylwester, Professor Emeritus Educational Psychology, The University of Oregon
Very impressive work. Solidly based with research studies yet exceptionally well-written in an easy to read, conversational style. It is an excellent book, thoughtful, thought-provoking
Carolyn Stephens, Emeritus Professor English and Literature, Concordia University Wisconsin
Energy and commitment to this book, the research and scholarly references, as well as the fine quality of the writing style are beyond those of a single or even dual discipline author ......an amazing work across disciplines (science, education, language).
James Topitzes, Associate Professor Social Work, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
This is quite developed. I love the stories of success in the classroom with this innovative teaching style, followed up with basic or applied science that justifies the highlighted pedagogy. Very exciting and well-produced. It's fascinating that good learning goes hand in hand with "pleasure." All the more relevant this notion is for youth.
Michael Koren, Teacher of the Year - National Council Middle School Social Studies
This is very impressive and right on the mark, super informative and intriguing. This presentation and program can go a long, long way in reforming education and bringing schooling into the 21st century.Michael Koren, Teacher of the Year - National Council Middle School Social Studies

Comments from teachers and

Attending the program was a
real privilege and far more meaningful for me than any media coverage on the
subject. You put together an experience that was moving, educational, heartfelt,
and memorable. I was so glad I was there.
That
was incredibly thoughtful. You did a wonderful job covering the topics with
dignity that made it a topnotch presentation. Thank you.
Thank
you for your very interesting and well-documented presentation. You did a
terrific job integrating photos into your talk. You spoke with clarity and enthusiasm!
What
an excellent way to end the winter term! The talk was thoughtful, offering
mature perspective on important topics.
Wow! What a terrific presentation. Thank you for the time and effort you put into it.
The extended silence at the close of the talk struck me as the tangible emotional reaction to our faculty in this important program. Your organization of images and messages into three parts provided a meaningful division, giving a framework for grasping the issue. Conceiving and organizing this program and accompanying photographic display was an enormous task and I am sure nobody on our faculty could have done it.
