I liked the questions throughout the chapters. It helped me to stay focus on what was important and think further.
Taylor Busch, Student, CSU Stanislaus
The biggest thing I enjoy about the book is that there are practical examples and information for new teachers...it isn't just the ideology and theories.
Nicholas Aprile, Student, CSU Stanislaus
I enjoyed reading the text because it felt intuitive in its formatting, digestible as a reader looking for concrete ideas, as opposed to inapplicable theoretical research.

The book has been helpful in providing insight and strategies for teaching. It is well written and clear with the activities added in.
