In our present system good teaching is often a subversive act - use this as a manual for guerilla warfare."   Louis Cozolino, Professor of Psychology Pepperdine University "This book provides compelling evidence that the traditional paradigm of education, which emphasizes "factual" learning, is profoundly narrow and limiting. The volume, depth, and relevance of research the authors bring to the fore about effective and lasting models of teaching, learning, and leadership is impressive. May its brilliant and enlightening message once and for all replace the limited and limiting habits of mind that have legitimated educational policy and practice for centuries in the Western World."  William Spady, Director The 5th Paradigm.
