The author devotes each chapter to one different and unique roundtable/cooperative setting that is marked by challenge and satisfaction. Each chapter also describes different approaches where doable brain- based strategies help teachers and students benefit from learning renewal in their classes. through inquiry, self-reflection, collaborative learning, problem-solving, and integration of skills and ideas. To further extend MITA's roundtable practices, the final chapters focus on curriculum and assessment tools that build on teachers' own best practices, for higher achievement and motivation.
