I would like to start off by saying I am not a school teacher, but I am a teacher, based off the description she gives in her book. To summarize, she starts off by having you reflect on the purpose of learning. She goes into detail explaining the different ways individuals learn, while explaining how she navigates on creating templates and learning resources for each. This book gave me a different insight on how to engage and implement the different ways people retain knowledge. This book not only helps teachers/instructors, but is a good resource for a parent, who are new at navigating the world of homeschooling. I found this book very useful in how to balance delivering information verses just knowledge dumping. I highly recommend reading before creating any lesson plans or content creating for your business. In my opinion, its a must read. It is very well written with examples, and step by step on how to successfully implement your expertise in a topic. Very well done. 🙂 Brittany (Trainer)
