Editorial Reviews

The authors effectively combined different topics to create a master plan on how to run a science classroom. After reading this important book, readers likely will conclude that science in the classroom is due a revival, and bringing it back begins with our nation’s youth. This book is a must-have on every teacher’s bookshelf.

I was drawn into this book. I thought I was a motivating science teacher, but as I read, I saw new insights into my own classroom and my own students. I couldn’t wait to infuse ideas from the text into my everyday interactions with my students, especially the female students. My next step is to encourage my co-teachers to form a book study so that together we can create a positive force for supporting all students in STEM classrooms and choices for the future.

The book contains excellent strategies to motivate students in the classroom, along with resources that are useful to classroom teachers. After reading the chapters, teachers will be able to carry out the strategies in their classrooms the next day.

This book is one that every teacher would benefit from reading. There aren’t many other books out there that specifically deal with some of the issues in this book. It’s an easy read and provides teachers with follow-up materials or references.
