LB Cover 2

Exciting news: my book was published at the beginning of April. (I’m resisting the temptation to put in an exclamation point.)

Learning Begins explores the science of working memory and attention, and offers practical strategies for putting this research to work in our classrooms.

Here’s what the first Amazon reviewer wrote:

“This book feels more like a personal discussion with the author. Andrew shares stories with meaning, current useful research, and provides clear suggestions to better teaching methods and student supports. A quick and easy read! Andrew is a proficient educator himself who knows his audience and uses humor and story telling to reach them!”

I hope you’ll read it, and let me know what you think! (Okay, I gave in. There’s the exclamation point.)

(BTW: if you email me–[email protected]–I’ll give you a code for a 20% discount from the publisher.)
