Critics Review

“In “What Works May Hurt: Side Effects in Education” Professor Zhao draws upon his years of research, experience and expertise in the area of educational reforms… very highly recommended for school district, college, and university Educational Issues & Teacher Education collections.”

– “Midwest Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch”

“Zhao’s audience of educational researchers, faculty of higher education, school administrators, and classroom teachers will not only be intrigued by Zhao’s findings, but inspired to advocate for a much-needed shift in how educational initiatives are brought into schools.”

– “Teachers College Record”
