From the Foreword by James H. Berry
". . . I have not encountered a single concept or paradigm that has the
potential to transform learning more than Dr. Rita Smilkstein's work on the
natural human learning process. . . . "Rita has taken the very essence
of what is important for you to know about brain research and classroom research
and provided an easy-to-use template for helping your students learn. . . .
"In attempting to use Rita's work in elementary classrooms, high schools,
and now college, I can attest to the fact that the foundation of these ideas
is solid, their use easily adaptable to any grade level, and the results absolutely
amazing.
Dr. Rita Smilkstein is a keynote speaker, faculty-development workshop leader,
and educational consultant for K-12 through higher education institutions.
