I love everything about this book. It has everything a teacher/presenter needs to have a successful learning environment. This book is nicely laid out and organized for finding things easily on the go. Jensen explains things very effectively...even the neuroscience aspect! I have used a few of the strategies from the book and they were very successful. I recommend every teacher to read this book and keep it on hand in the classroom.
