The first 4 chapters were fantastic, then chapter 5 and beyond is like reading through pages and pages of book reviews and recommendations. It wasn’t what I expected but I did find recommendations for books, blogs, podcasts and scientific papers that I plan to try out. If you’ve already read Powerful Teaching and want more resources, this is a good follow up. I wouldn’t recommend starting here though.

The previous book, Powerful Teaching, felt more informative. The one section I did appreciate in this reading was the chapter on real-world examples of the tools in practice. Seeing examples outside of math classrooms helped solidify what retrieval practices looks like in more open-ended environments.
