“How Real Teachers Learn to Reliably Engage All Learners stresses the importance of meeting the human needs of students in the school environment. Combining findings from psychology and education, Noonan describes four “motivational pathways” to attract even the most troubled and reluctant students to learning. Noonan shows how to win the hearts and minds of students by first seeing them as worthy and capable human beings, then stimulating their interest through active learning, and finally, ensuring students receive the support needed to learn and achieve in school. ”

“Fascinating, wise and elegant, this book illustrates how teachers with “innovative expertise” challenge their students to reach their full potential. My research on the early childhood and adolescent education of Nobel laureates in science revealed how all recipients benefited from the support of at least one teacher with expertise in motivating students, helping them become some of the most entrepreneurial, innovative, and creative people in the world. Noonan shows how teaching using learner-centered practice and “engaging pedagogy” will help future innovators realize their dreams. This book will be a defining work for decades, and a “must read” for every teacher and parent. “
