SerenaSerena: Book condition when received is not great. There are blotches on the cover.

Tim: So many easy low prep/no prep adjustments that makes such a big difference on making sure that teachers know exactly how kids are doing. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Justin: First, it is important to note that this is not an "end-all-be-all" book. As an educator new information and up-to-date ideas are always being thrown at you. This book reaffirms information that you as an educator probably already do, but in a different way (or a different name).

I recently "saw" one of the authors during a virtual conference this summer. During this conference I really fell in love with the information that was being presented. I usually try to stay away from the "new fads" that come out because they; 1) come and go quickly 2) are not a long running application that you would stay accountable with using. This book is not that! This book is taking information that educators already know and looking at it in a different way. There are also personal stories, research, and many other studies identified within the reading.

As an educator, after reading this book, I have come to the realization that there are things that I'm doing that I know are working. This book confirms that same things. There are ideas that I have used, that are mentioned under a different name. There are new strategies that I plan to incorporate within the new school...

Sam: Each chapter has provided so much value for me personally and has unleashed a myriad of concepts and ideas to implement going forward in my classroom. As a research informed teacher, I appreciate how after each chapter the authors provide notes for further reading. An enjoyable read of personal accounts combined with research make Powerful Teaching a book of substance for teachers!!

Shaun Killian: As an experienced teacher and psychologist-in-training, I strongly recommend that all teachers read this book.

After outlining the 3 phases of learning: encoding – storage – retrieval, the authors highlight how many of us (teachers) focus on getting information into kids’ heads (aka encoding).

Encoding is important and there many ways to help students encode information well. Yet, this book focuses on the potent power retrieval. At its core, it is about the well-established finding that getting information out of kids’ heads is an effective way to help students learn (distinct from assessing learning or checking for understanding). Something that not of us do.

The book goes on to outline many practical ways you can build retrieval practice into your habitual teaching practice.

Practical and evidence-based 😊

Australia on Apr 22, 2020

Tricia Taylor: This book talks to teachers. The authors use their real classroom experiences (and classroom research) to show how to apply cognitive science when teaching, pointing out the nuisances that make the difference in ensuring strategies like retrieval practice really work. Chapters like, 'Keeping it Real: Use Power Tools to Tackle Challenges, Not Add to Them' make this a book for the busy teacher who still wants to embed the research.

United Kingdom on Mar 05, 2020

Alejandro Calafate: A must read for teachers who love teaching. Provides tons of ideas easy to try and put into action. Helpful and clarifying.

Spain on Aug 28, 2019

John C. Mohl: The authors, one a classroom teacher and the other a cognitive scientist and college professor, present an easy-to-read yet thorough examination of four very powerful tools to help students learn: retrieval practice, interleaving, spacing, and feedback-driven metacognition. They provide summaries of research studies for each tool in a way that is understandable to the average reader, describe numerous ways in which the techniques can be used in a classroom setting, and provide reflections and anecdotes of how they have helped their students become engaged as they take ownership of their learning. They "practice as they preach" by putting in review questions throughout the book that employ all four tools. The reader will discover first-hand how effective these techniques are in developing long-lasting and durable memories.

This book is not the first to delve into what cognitive psychology has to offer to education, but this is one of the best books I have read to really offer concrete pedagogical techniques that require little to no advanced planning or additional grading. The authors make a compelling and convincing case that the nominal additional time and energy devoted...
