Description:
Clear, easy principles to spot what's nonsense and what's
reliable


Each year, teachers, administrators, and parents face a barrage
of new education software, games, workbooks, and professional
development programs purporting to be "based on the latest
research." While some of these products are rooted in solid
science, the research behind many others is grossly exaggerated.
This new book, written by a top thought leader, helps everyday
teachers, administrators, and family members?who don't have
years of statistics courses under their belts?separate the
wheat from the chaff and determine which new educational approaches
are scientifically supported and worth adopting.

catapulted him to superstar status in the field of education

Willingham's work has been hailed as "brilliant analysis" by
The Wall Street Journal and "a triumph" by The Washington
Post

and writes a column for American Educator



In this insightful book, thought leader and bestselling author
Dan Willingham offers an easy, reliable way to discern which
programs are scientifically supported and which are the equivalent
of "educational snake oil."
