Teaching and education are awash with myths.  This book helps you explore some of them and asks:

-        Where does this myth come from? 

-        How do we know that it isn’t true? 

-        Why does it matter that we challenge it?

Covering key teaching topics, it poses common myths and explores what the research actually says. 

Using research as a basis to explore what it true and what is false, it gives you a more informed understanding and encourages important discussions about teaching and learning.
