Review: Blind Spots: Why Students Fail and the Science That Can Save Them, Kimberly Berens, Ph.D.


In a few days' time the book Blind Spots: Why Students Fail and the Science That Can Save Them will be released. I think many of us know students who can become withdrawn or anxious about learning or about attending school. We also may know some students whose bad choices have an effect on their learning. 

I appreciate that in an engaging and real-world way Berens teaches problems can be identified, understood, and solved and you can help every child.

I received a copy of this book from Media Relations Consultant Alana Cowan.
