Review

"We need more books that apply research and theory to instruction. All too often what we know about teaching and learning never reaches the classroom. Organizing for Learning paves that road well." -- Diana Leddy "2009 Vermont Teacher of the Year"

"I would like to use Organizing for Learning for my pre-service teachers who are studying to be elementary teachers. The content would be helpful to role model teaching and learning for their future success!" -- Daniele A. Massey "2013 DoDEA Teacher of the Year"

"Organizing for Learning is a brilliant breakdown of the process of all seven techniques and leads the educator thoughtfully through each. This book is a reminder of what education SHOULD and CAN be for students." -- Heidi Welch "2013 New Hampshire Teacher of the Year"
