Woznicki, EdSSound learning theory is the cornerstone for effective teaching practice. Andrew Johnsons Essential Learning Theories is a clearly written guide to understanding and implementing top learning theories. Johnsons compendium of proven learning theories will provide a Rosetta Stone for successful teachers and stellar teachers of teachers. -- Charles Kyle, PhD, author, "Time to Learn: Educational Histories of Incarcerated Juveniles"It is easy to lose sight of the big picture of education when your day is spent frantically covering content, measuring progress, and "fighting fires". Imagine re-discovering your "why" in a book on learning theories! When the basics are presented in a way that "connects-the-dots", as Dr. Johnson has done in this book, they can be inspiring reminders of why we do what we do, how we can strive to be better, and where we are headed with our work. In his latest book, Dr. Johnson has distilled the most essential information on the subject of learning theories and their application in teaching and learning and, like a true master teacher, presented it in a clear and concise way. Of all the books I have collected on the subject of education, I return to Dr. Johnsons most frequently. Dr. Johnson has generously embedded nuggets of wisdom in this book which reveal the "big picture" of the art and science of teaching. -- Jennifer Sopoci, M.S.
