“Spencer Kagan's Brain-Friendly Teaching book is the best book of its kind, though there may not be any other book of its kind. It is the most readable and research anchored that I have seen. The cited research is intriguingly presented and all the activities dovetail well. The reader should see the importance of brain research and be intrigued with same. The book is the best imaginable text for university pedagogy courses, especially in that it is clearly a book teachers can take with them into their teaching assignments; In fact, that they would feel compelled to take with them. Any teacher who relinquishes the book clearly doesn't get what being a teacher requires. A Magnum Opus.....”

“While more and more educators are becoming aware of the general implications of neuroscience research for educational practice, there has been little written about what it actually looks like in the daily life of teachers. Kagan's Brain-Friendly Teaching does a fantastic job of meeting this need. Here you'll find a cornucopia of practical strategies all based on clearly delineated research. Be prepared for a fabulous resource. Your students will thank you!”
