Scheduled for fall 2011 release:
The Gattegno Effect
100 Voices on One of History's Greatest Educators
Nearly 40 years ago in the early 1970's, Ronald Cross of the the New York Times Book Review wrote: "If Gattegno is right, then most of what goes for teaching in our schools is wrong."
This book celebrates the centenial of the birth of Dr. Caleb Gattegno. He believed that all human beings are inherently gifted with limitless powers of self- learning. Awareness and command of these powers is fundamental to our self- fulfillment; more so than anything we can learn. To gain control of these powers, Gattegno saw the need to radically transform education. Educators everywhere took up his challenge and these are their inspiring stories of being at the forefront of nothing less than the re-invention of education itself.
