Review:
Teachable Moments isn't just a field guide to great teaching ideas; it's also a thoughtful examination of why a classroom with straight rows of desks is often the worst place for real learning. Sometimes the best place is a canyon-filled with dancers. (Christopher Cokinos, Utah State University)
