5.0 out of 5 stars
All the things you've ever underlined, Jan 27 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brain-Compatible Strategies (Paperback)
This book is a great way to "remember" all the teaching techniques you forget to use. It's like a compilation of all those ideas you've underlined over the years in all the different books and articles you've read. I agree with Minnesota above that there are probably books with more ideas, but the size and format of this book makes it practical: easy to take with you, easy to review,and easy to immediately implement. I especially like the format of the book...one page per topic (like "How to Engage the Spatial-Episodic Memory"), a brief one or two paragraph summary of the theory and then a bullet-list of ideas. I am glad to have this book and recommend it to busy teachers like myself who have to "read and run".

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is so useful!!, April 6 2007
By S. Sterchi "avid reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brain-Compatible Strategies (Paperback)
Eric Jensen has done so much with brain research and this book is full of VERY USEFUL strategies! I have not only highlighted strategies I will use in my classroom, but I HAVE USED THEM!! He explains each strategy and gives examples of how one can use them in their classroom. Whether you teach preschool or high school, this is a very useful book. (Especially during this time of the importance of achievement tests!) It is a quick read, but all of it is useful!!

2.0 out of 5 stars
Simplistic and ordinary, July 27 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Brain-Compatible Strategies (Paperback)
Mr. Jensen's "Brain-Compatible Strategies" was a disappointment. His ideas were commonplace and uninteresting as was his writing. A much better source for ideas is Mel Silberman's "Active Learning: 101 Strategies to Teach Any Subject."
Listmania!
