The Brain, Education, and the Competitive Edge

This book explains how traditional teaching, testing and schooling developed. It describes a more powerful approach to education that engages student brains much more effectively. It shows how great schools and ordinary people from around the world use this guided experience approach. And it explains why public education resists change, no matter what research proves.

Geoffrey Caine is director of Caine Learning LLC and adjunct faculty member at University of Redlands Whitehead Center for Lifelong Learning in California.
