Reviews Write a review
I appreciate Ferlazzo's practical, well-organized, and research-based approach to this book. Reading it felt like a friendly tour through a toolbox of techniques teachers (and educators of all sorts) can apply and experiment with. I am left with practical suggestions I can put to use today to encourage intrinsic motivation in students of all ages. —Winifred Kehl, Blogger, Getting Smart
Ferlazzo's book offers many valuable strategies to guide teachers to help students feel more positive about the learning process. Larry's book is filled with lesson plans that are so easy to adapt and personalize to one's teaching situation. It is a book that I highly recommend for all teachers. It should be a must read for all teachers in inclusion classrooms. —Elizabeth Stein, Teacher and New-Teacher Mentor, Smithtown Central School District
