How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition

I should really give this four stars, but the first two or three chapters of this book are written in unreadable, clumsy jargon, so I'm being punitive. However, once it gets into reports and explanations of actual research and how the insights of this research apply to real learners, the book becomes fascinating and I forgot about the heavy prose. Still, for a book that touts itself as "teacher friendly" I'm thinking a thoughtful editor could have made this a less painful read. So let's say I would actually give it five stars on content and 2 and a half on style.

Must read.
