"Anyone who wants to help make the world a better place should read this book. Jane Vella is an educator par excellence. But the message of this book is not for academics; it is for the people who will help things change on the ground. This book is about reality—real people, real situations, and what I call real development." (James P. Grant, executive director, UNICEF)
"Adult educators, because they are also lifelong learners, will continually cheer, "YES!" as they read Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach.
