Industry Reviews

"Presseisen has skillfully assembled an exceptionally fine collection of articles." -- Burt Saxon, Adjunct Professor "A wonderful collection that address issues important in today's classrooms. This is an invaluable tool for any educator willing to strive for personal, student, and schoolwide excellence." -- Gayla LeMay, Social Studies Teacher "Contributions by a range of educators address key issues for modern classrooms and make the second edition a 'must' for any college-level library strong in education and teaching programs." -- California Bookwatch, February 2008 "This is one of the rare collections that might be of great benefit to all American educators. Presseisen offers a book rich with important ideas. The essays not only inform readers, but encourage deeper examination and invite discussion on the nature of intelligence and its relationship to matters such as standards, testing, and curriculum development. It is a must for educators and would greatly benefit and enlighten politicians and parents too." -- CHOICE, May 2008 "The eminent contributors to this collection of articles present current research that will encourage educators to think critically and reflectively about their own perspectives on classroom instructional practice, students' intellectual development, and the student's role in the learning process. An invaluable resource." -- Curriculum Connections, Spring 2008
