This book is an excellent overview of research studies that focus on different techniques for deeper learning. That means helping students truly understand what they are learning so they can apply what they learn to new situations. The first part of the book talks about general techniques including project and problem based learning and collaborative learning. The next three sections talk about techniques as they apply to reading, math, and science. Numerous research studies are cited throughout, noting their conclusions and how those conclusions relate to other studies. Examples are also included. While i have been convinced of the power of project based learning and collaborative learning for some time, I found it helpful to understand the research and, particularly, how the authors bring everything together bringing out the key features that make the techniques so powerful as well as ways different approaches apply to different situations.

Given the focus within education today on test taking and related memorization approaches, it is quite remarkable to see how much is really known about teaching for deeper understanding. It certainly cannot be said that we don't know any better ways to educate kids after reading this book. I just wish the practices overviewed here were more common in schools today.

High recommended!

Teachers often search for information with immediate relevance to their classroom teaching. Educators who write books focus on research about learning that sometimes seems to busy teachers too far removed from the realities of daily classroom life to have practical application. Linda Darling-Hammond has edited a book that brings together the best of both worlds: research and classroom reality. Powerful Learning clearly illustrates the reciprocal relationship between innovative classroom practice and what is known about how children learn best. Each chapter is at the same time personal, relevant, and inspiring. Both new and seasoned teachers will read it and feel prepared, not only to try out new practices, but to know exactly why they are doing so.

Satisfied with item and delivery.

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.

This was a required text for a college class in my Master's program. It contains some great ideas for discussion topics.
