Trevor R. Waagner, educational consultant for Education, Agriculture and Technology (EAT), a think tank in Chicago, Illinois This is the second volume in Jensen's `Practice Makes Permanent' sequence (the first volume: Teaching Students to Work Harder and Enjoy It, 2012). In this volume, Jensen (psychologist and educational consultant) highlights basic strategies designed to facilitate an optimum learning experience for students at all levels in the school system, from kindergarten to college. He specifies general, commonsense guiding principles. The narrative, which is somewhat didactic in tone, identifies salient elements that impede the ability of students to incorporate novel ideas or new material into their expanding repertoire. The key points stated within each chapter are summarized for the reader to reinforce an understanding of the relevant teaching strategies necessary for productive and positive change. This is a good resource for psychologists, educators, and policy makers within the education field. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.
