Story
Research into how we learn has opened the door for utilizing cognitive theory to facilitate better student learning. But that's easier said than done. Many books about cognitive theory introduce radical but impractical theories, failing to make the connection to the classroom. In Small Teaching, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful changes that make a big difference - many of which can be put into practice in a single class period.

The moment is right for critical reflection on what has been assumed to be a core part of schooling. In Ungrading, 15 educators write about their diverse experiences going gradeless. Based on rigorous and replicated research, this is the first book to show why and how faculty who wish to focus on learning, rather than sorting or judging, might proceed. It includes honest reflection on what makes ungrading challenging, and testimonials about what makes it transformative.

How Learning Works provides the bridge for such a gap.

Story
In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks - writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual - writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speakes to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.

From an early age, it is drilled into our heads: Restlessness, distraction, and ignorance are the enemies of success. We’re told that learning is all self-discipline, that we must confine ourselves to designated study areas, turn off the music, and maintain a strict ritual if we want to ace that test, memorize that presentation, or nail that piano recital. But what if almost everything we were told about learning is wrong?

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

Publisher's summary
Even on good days, teaching is a challenging profession. One way to make the job of college instructors easier, however, is to know more about the ways students learn. How Humans Learn aims to do just that by peering behind the curtain and surveying research in fields as diverse as developmental psychology, anthropology, and cognitive neuroscience for insight into the science behind learning.
The result is a story that ranges from investigations of the evolutionary record to studies of infants discovering the world for the first time, and from a look into how our brains respond to fear to a reckoning with the importance of gestures and language. Joshua R. Eyler identifies five broad themes running through recent scientific inquiry - curiosity, sociality, emotion, authenticity, and failure - devoting a chapter to each and providing practical takeaways for busy teachers. He also interviews and observes college instructors across the country, placing theoretical insight in dialogue with classroom experience.

the most annoying whiney voice
this reader has the worst performance voice I have ever heard. I was so busy trying to get past HOW the words were said I could not absorb/enjoy WHAT was being said. it's clear this reader had no idea what the words he was saying meant - he emphasized the wrong words, took awkward pauses in sentences - all which proved to obfuscate the meaning of the text.
And then there is his whiney, sarcastic voice. It sounded like every sentence was not treated seriously.
I will not buy books featuring this reader again. He is terrible and needs to take voice acting classes. I'm guessing he's somebody's cousin and needed a job. Very unprofessional and hard to listen to.

Worst Audiobook Ever
The Contant of this book is terrific. With the exception of the emotional chapter, which, as a psychiatric person, I found flogged, the Contant is terrific. But I’m evaluating this book as an audiobook, and there is absolutely no way that you can listen to this, drowning on monotone Voice with anything other than utter pain. Please do not listen to this audiobook while you are driving because you will fall asleep. In fact, there are many things that are in the contents of this book that would make one beg to question how the author could possibly have allowed this narration. Clearly, the author has a good handle on ways to communicate information in education. However, the author has fallen short of finding ways to communicate the information in this book by the use of this narration. This narration can only be described as the worst GPS audio narration I’ve ever heard. If it is not GPS, this person has absolutely no business doing narration of anything at all. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to sit at dinner with this person because the voice is so annoying that I wouldn’t make it through the meal. It was painful and quite the struggle to make it through this contact. If the goal is that you recognize, the content is good, and you go from purchasing the audiobook to buying the book Giving the author to sales, I can see that as a possible win. However, if you just wanna read the book, I think you’ll get a lot more out of it. This audiobook was utterly painful to listen to.

Needs a different narrator
I purchased this book soon could listen during my travel time and the content is fine but the narration is too distracting - the narrator has a very unnatural pattern of speaking and sounds like an announcer - it makes it very hard to stay focused on what the author is trying to communicate. Couldn’t make it past the second chapter.

Story
In Ungifted, cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman - who was relegated to special education as a child - sets out to show that the way we interpret traditional metrics of intelligence is misguided. Kaufman explores the latest research in genetics and neuroscience, as well as evolutionary, developmental, social, positive, and cognitive psychology, to challenge the conventional wisdom about the childhood predictors of adult success. He reveals that there are many paths to greatness, and argues for a more holistic approach to achievement that takes into account each young person’s personal goals, individual psychology, and developmental trajectory.
