One of my favorite books to use with students as we consider new ways to approach learning. This is an excellent companion to Mindset by Carol Dweck.

Ik heb de Nederlandse vertaling van dit boek in mijn bezit: kinderen denken leren. Deze kan makkelijk overgeslagen worden omdat er veel mooiere boeken over hom geschreven zijn inmiddels. Voor wie het Engels niet machtig is, is het een instapexemplaar om hom te leren kennen. Ik raad eenieder echter aan om in het Engels te lezen daar waar deze vertaling niet altijd even lekker te lezen is.

There were a few pages I'd like to scan and keep on hand, but I doubt I'll get to the rest of this series.
