The End of Ignorance: Multiplying Our Human Potential

As a teacher of language I found this book by a math PhD to be enlightening and inspiring. Mighton (who has also published two plays), approaches teaching from a connections perspective i.e. how can we effectively engage students and draw their attention to concepts and exercises that they will eventually find fascinating. As a teacher, Mighton shares his challenges, failures and successes in a frank and reflective style. Easily on par with and perhaps better -considering his insights with respect to recent research- than any book I encountered in professional teaching certification and qualification programs.
