Summary | "In this unflinching and compelling book, learning expert Dr. Kimberly Nix Berens reveals the "blind spots" that perpetuate ineffective teaching practices--leading to mediocrity and failure for a majority of students. For more than 20 years, she has been developing an educational method that uses behavioral science to rapidly accelerate the core academic and cognitive skills of kids. As a result, thousands of students have achieved high levels of expertise in academic areas, including those children who were once labeled as learning disabled"--Back cover. |
