New Priorities for Teacher Training and School Curriculum

The book explores the author's journey from feeling unprepared to teach underachieving students to developing a sophisticated pedagogy focused on effective communication. It discusses the evolution of educational theories, particularly the gap between motivation and cognition, and highlights the importance of communication in bridging that divide. Additionally, it examines the New Taxonomy of Marzano and Kendall as a solution to challenges posed by Bloom's definition of intellectual ability, reflecting a modern understanding of information processing in education.
