Book Title
When Can You Trust the Experts?: How to Tell Good Science from Bad in Education
Author
Daniel T. Willingham
Book Description
In my years of teaching, I've come across many research that claim to solve the problems of learning through so-called "best practices." While some of these findings are based on solid science, most are grossly inaccurate, confusing, and exaggerating. I love how this book brilliantly breaks down good science from bad science and helps me be a better educator, researcher, and advocate.
