All,
 
This is another book by the same author that I use in a class I teach.  (I know that Dr. Staley uses this one as well.)  The entire book is available for free online in .pdf.  http://newton.nap.edu/html/howpeople1/index.html   I highly recommend this book.

National Research Council. (2000). How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience and School. ISBN: 0-309-07036-8.

Jim -
 
I was at a Chautauqua workshop last summer, and the presenters there were very enthusiastic about a book called "How People Learn: Bridging Research and Practice."  I thought that the members of the Teaching Breakfast discussion group might find it interesting.  A brief overview of the basic principles of the book is online at http://fermat.nap.edu/html/howpeople2/
