Review
"Scaddan has collected many positive, easy-to-read ideas that should be helpful for educators." (Eric Jensen, Educational Consultant )
"It is great to read a book that honours the art and science of teaching and learning. Read it. Use it. Carry it from school to school, classroom to classroom for decades. This book is a backpack full of ideas, strategies, and activities to enhance brains and enrich hearts." (Glenn Capelli, Churchill Fellow )
"This is the missing link in so many of our schools' curriculum. Scaddan sparks the joy of learning in children and builds relationships between teachers and learners. A must-have for administrators, teachers, counselors, and anyone interested in understanding what it takes to make a difference." (Nancy G . Peterson, Educational Consultant )

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: 40 Engaging Brain-Based Tools for the Classroom (Paperback)
Book was for a graduate elective. Itcame in "new" condition as promised. I wish it would have come a little sooner (took about two weeks instead of the normal 2-3 days), but I think this is because it did not come from Amazon directly.
