"Teaching Minds is a thoughtful contribution to the vital
conversation about the future of American education and the ways
contemporary science can enhance our practice."--Journal of
Education
"(Schank) rejects many 'truths' held by today's educators and
politicians...the author believes society is better served when the
focus is on improving the conceptual, analytical, and social
processes of the individual rather than on acquiring factual
knowledge."--Foreword Magazine
"With stark honesty and a sharp focus on research, Schank has
written a provocative, convincing, and useful book about the design
of cognitively based learning experiences that can be applied to
real contexts...Teaching Minds can undoubtedly help individual
teachers, professors, leaders, and curriculum design teams to
transform learning experiences for students at all
levels."--Education Canada
