"The gift of this book is a powerful weave of Eleanor Drago-Severson′s exploration of adults′ preferred ways of learning, Pat Roy′s examination and closer look into the Learning Design Standard, and Valerie von Frank′s case study of how thoughtful educators are in applying the learning designs in practice. The book′s sequence of perspectives -- theory, learning design standard, and application -- provides a multi-dimensional learning opportunity for educators to increase their awareness and knowledge of how the Learning Design standard becomes a reality resulting in positive change.
I appreciate the thoroughness and development of key ideas about learning designs, and the inclusion of useful tools, charts, and strategies for enactment. This book necessitates that educators understand adult ways of knowing, and the Learning Design standard at deeper levels, in order to offer effective differentiation for educators to transform their practice that supports student learning." -- Dr. Janice Bradley, Research Assistant Professor
