Powerful Learning is a comprehensive and engaging record of the most effective K?12 teaching practices?including project-based learning, cooperative learning, performance-based assessment, as well as instructional strategies in literacy, mathematics, and science.

This book offers insights into how educators can enable students to think critically, transfer skills and knowledge, and be flexible problem solvers?both inside and outside the classroom walls.
