Lots of Food for Thought for Educators

This book is full of information that really allowed me to reflect about my own teaching and creation of lesson plans. The 4 star rating is due to the very formal language of the text that made it difficult to get through at times. The examples clarified the text which allowed me to really connect the text to my career.
