This teaching manual has a significant influence on my thinking about teaching. It is practical, emotional, and narrated with real-life experiences that sometimes come to mind. Through the stories Dr. Hogge tells us, we get the picture of education being all about purpose, connection, and real life.

The pages of this book are a mirror showing my life as a special education teacher. There is a simplicity to the ideas, a truthfulness to the tone, and a power in the results. It has been a while since my students were so engaged in their work as they are now due to these strategies.

At last, here is a book that connects theory and reality! The way Dr. Hogge combines research with real-life classroom situations is so appealing. It feels as if you are getting the lessons from a colleague who has been there and done the work.

Designing Real-World Learning gave me a new sense of joy in teaching. The stories are so energizing, and the tools are so practical. It is more than just a book; it is a guide to casting the right light on making classrooms that truly prepare students for life.

This book is a must for all teachers! It is straightforward, optimistic, and full of such insights that you can use immediately. The feeling that I created in my school and the feeling of being inspired were when I finished it.
