This book challenges common but damaging assumptions about how students learn — myths like “school is supposed to be hard and boring,” or “grades matter more than understanding.” Allison Zmuda argues that these beliefs undermine motivation, creativity, and real learning. Instead, she offers practical, research‑based strategies for redesigning schools and classrooms: fostering student engagement, designing meaningful and relevant learning tasks, encouraging authentic assessment, and promoting innovation in teaching. The book serves as a blueprint for educators and school leaders who want to transform traditional schooling into dynamic, student‑centered learning environments
