Blind Spots

More about the book

With an overwhelming majority of students graduating below proficiency in all academic subjects, the United States is in the midst of an educational crisis. Parents of struggling students feel overwhelmed and confused about how to help their children simply survive school. Decade after decade, various reform efforts have been tried and all have failed. But all hope is not lost. A team of scientists, led by Dr. Kimberly Berens, believe they have the solution. For the last 20 years they have been perfecting a powerful system of instruction based on the learning, behavioral and cognitive sciences. Dr. Berens thinks every child has the fundamental right to an education as scientifically sound and technically precise as the medical care we expect from a doctor. Her solution is Fit Learning, a technology of teaching designed to unlock the vast potential hidden within every child.
