Praise for Learning That Lasts

"If we are to prepare all students for the deeper learning required for college, career, and life readiness, there is nothing more important than cultivating great teaching. This book provides a clear vision for teachers of what deeper instruction actually looks like. It is a guide to creating classrooms where students think and work passionately and analytically--classrooms that are more challenging, meaningful, and effective."
--Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education Emeritus, Stanford University and President of the Learning Policy Institute

"Most contemporary writing about education either endorses or critiques a focus on basic skills, standardized tests, and job preparation. Learning That Lasts is a unique book; experts from EL Education not only highlight engagement, deep learning, artistry, and good character--they also demonstrate how to achieve an education that is worth celebrating. "
--Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"Ron Berger is one of the most profound thinkers and doers in education today. This book is a must-read. It shows how to create meaningful learning and high levels of academic achievement anywhere. "
--Carol Dweck, Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology, Stanford University
