• Sommario/riassunto: Helping children experience early learning success and acquire essential skills by third grade is a crucial part of any school reform effort. Yet, many teachers and children are overwhelmed by the ineffective curriculum-driven education system and the 'rush to cover' climate in schools. 'Fanatically Formative' shows how the joy of teaching can be rediscovered and children helped to fall in love with learning again.
