This book explains how traditional teaching, testing and schooling developed. It describes a more powerful approach to education that engages student brains much more effectively. It shows how great schools and ordinary people from around the world use this 'guided experience' approach. And it explains why public education resists change, no matter what research proves.

Teachers will learn to assess student achievement with rubrics that reflect the latest neuroscientific research and are compatible with standards and the principles of brain-compatible learning.
