Finally, a teaching resource that doesn’t just rehash old methods! Jensen’s approach is backed by science but explained in plain English. I’ve implemented several of his techniques, and the results have been amazing more focus, better retention, and happier students.

This was alright... considering that it's 18 years old. It did affirm many of the techniques I use in my teaching.
