Seeing With Magic Glasses

A Teacher's View from the Front Line of the Learning Revolution

Launa Ellison provides the reader with a set of magic glasses to more powerfully see and know the whole child. She uses the latest brain-based models of learning as clarifying lenses that guider her choices and goals for each of her students. Ms. Ellison shows these new models in action as she presents an inviting picture of her own classroom and the human beings in it.
