Customer Reviews

A World Class Resource for Quality Teaching!

The information in this book is so comprehensive and so powerful that, if I were still an active rather than a retired superintendent, every teacher in my district would be given a copy of the book and access to related professional development programs. Supporting implementation of the techniques at every level, k-12 through adult, would do more to increase the quality of learning and classroom environments than any of the past or current reforms and mandates pursued by state and national legislatures. This book provides the kind of practical resources that our teachers and youngsters deserve. - - Ronald Fitzgerald, D.Ed.

Shouting Don't Grow Dendrites

Dr. Marcia Tate takes the knowledge that we have in our cache of instructional strategies and organizes it into a user-friendly product. Her techniques for managing a classroom using her brain-compatible strategies makes so much sense you want to say "why didn't I think of that?". This book is a must for any new or veteran teacher.

Attention New Teachers!

Buy it. Read it. Use it. Ms. Tate shares ideas for creating a good learning environment in all classrooms. This book is simple to read and the ideas are simple to implement. I teach graduate courses for new teachers and was a classroom teacher for 30 years. I highly recommend this book.
