Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In Powerful Learning, Linda Darling-Hammond and an impressive list of co-authors offer a clear, comprehensive, and engaging exploration of the most effective classroom practices. They review, in practical terms, teaching strategies that generate meaningful K–2 student understanding, and occur both within the classroom walls and beyond. The book includes rich stories, as well as online videos of innovative classrooms and schools, that show how students who are taught well are able to think critically, employ flexible problem-solving, and apply learned skills and knowledge to new situations.

Rated by buyers -
Written in a teacher-friendly style, this book combines research and practice to produce ideas about powerful learning that contradict the movement across the country to teaching mindless, fragmented, and conceptually weak curriculum to children and youth, especially children of the poor and English learners. This is good reading that offers hope for teachers. I am a bit concerned that it doesn't deal much with issues of racism and class, or that it doesn't include critical approaches to teaching, but it does offer ideas about inquiry teaching across content areas that are refreshing.
