This review is from: Seeing With Magic Glasses: A Teacher's View from the Front Line of the Learning Revolution (Paperback)
This book was required as part of my first master's level course. I was hooked from the beginning! Ms. Ellison's style of teaching is beneficial to all students. She works hard ensure that her students are achieving. She gives many examples of practical classroom exercises that she uses and that others could easily implement.How I wish we lived in her school district!
