Industry Reviews

Dr. Wimberley’s passion for education resonates throughout the pages of Designed for Learning: Transferring Wisdom for Digital Generations as he draws from decades of education experience and offers sage wisdom on what it takes to motivate today’s student. The book toggles between theory and practice and confirms what research and educators have long believed – creating relationships with students that enhances their self-worth is critically important as educators prepare students for the complex world they are inheriting. Channeling the powerful imagery of shepherding, Dr. Wimberley systemically guides the reader through practical steps for engaging today’s digital-centric student. Schooling as we have previously known it has changed at an unprecedented pace; this said, every leader looking to transform learning environments to meet the needs of our complex world need to read this book.
