Description: | Select Guide Rating This accessible guide shows how to integrate effective, research-backed strategies for learning into classroom practice. With clear illustrations, the book explores what constitutes good evidence for learning and teaching strategies, how to make evidence-based judgments and how to apply findings from cognitive psychology to the classroom.
