Product reviews for There is Another Way

I love this book. Sequels aren't always a good idea, but the Second Big Book of Independent Thinking is a really good idea. It exudes optimism at a time when there isn't always enough optimism, laughter or fun in our schools. Yet it isn't afraid to challenge us, to be gritty, to urge us to be bolder in what we value and how we teach. At a time when there's too much dashing after quick-fixes in schools, the authors of There is Another Way take us back to first principles about learning, the nature of schools and why many of us decided to become teachers in the first place. It's a terrific and feisty read, an indispensable inoculation against the educational gloom that can too easily infect us.
