Review:
Through this book, teachers have the opportunity to transform their schools into inspiring and motivational places where students thoughts and emotions are treated as seriously as their application of information. --Jeanette Phillips, Retired Middle School Principal, Fresno Unified School District

Using philosophical and historical truths about education developed in the 1800s and supported by current research, Awaken The Learner clearly describes who we must be as educators and the learning environments we must create to support the learning needs of every child. Scott and Marzano show the way, focusing on the heart, head, and hands in an environment that provides a sense of security, identity and belonging and you we will see the transformation necessary to support the learning gains we are looking for. Awaken the Learner is a very thought-provoking work and a must read for anyone involved in education today! --Marc Johnson, 2011 AASA National Superintendent of the Year

Americans are fortunate that Darrell Scott has been able to take the Columbine tragedy the 1999 school shooting that took his daughter s life and use it as a catalyst to lead powerful presentations that have become Rachel s Challenge. Implementing the same principles, Scott joins Robert J. Marzano in Awaken the Learner to create a blueprint for educators in an effort to transform classrooms into productive havens that translate into meaningful learning for our students while improving their cognitive skills and developing their character. Any teacher (in any discipline) hoping to improve his or her teaching practice and student outcomes should read this book. --Daniel Domenech, Executive Director, American Association of School Administrators
