The Learning Rainforest is an attempt to capture various different elements of our understanding and experience of teaching. Aimed at teachers of all kinds, busy people working in complex environments with little time to spare, it is a celebration of great teaching - the joy of it and the intellectual and personal rewards that teaching brings. 
The core of the book is a guide to making teaching both effective and manageable; it provides an accessible summary of key contemporary evidence-based ideas about teaching and learning and the debates that all teachers should be engaging in. It's a book packed with strategies for making great teaching attainable in the context of real schools.
The Learning Rainforest metaphor is an attempt to capture various different elements of our understanding and experience of teaching. Tom's ideas about what constitutes great teaching are drawn from his experiences as a teacher and a school leader over the last 30 years, alongside everything he has read and all the debates he's engaged with during that time.
An underlying theme of this book is that a career in teaching is a process of continual personal development and professional learning as is engaging in fundamental debates rage on about the kind of education we value. As you meet each new class and move from school to school, your perspectives shift; your sense of what seems to work adjusts to each new context.
In writing this book, Tom is trying to capture some of the journey he's been on. He has learned that it is ok to change your mind. More than that - sometimes it is simply necessary to get your head out of the sand, to change direction; to admit your mistakes.

Como padres, ¿tienen este tipo de preocupaciones o se hacen este tipo de preguntas? 
Para los estudiantes leyendo este libro, ¿alguna vez pensaron lo siguiente?: “Estudié toda la noche y no me fue bien en la prueba”. ¿Se preguntan por qué el dedicarles más tiempo a las tareas escolares a menudo no se ve reflejado en más aprendizaje o en calificaciones más altas? 
Todos pensamos que sabemos cómo estudiar. Muchos de nosotros hemos pasado años en centros educativos. ¿Pero sabemos cómo ocurre el aprendizaje por el mero hecho de haber aprendido? A menudo la respuesta es no. Menos del 10% de los estudiantes tienen padres que son educadores certificados. ¿A dónde puede ir a buscar las respuestas el otro 90% de los padres? Si eres estudiante, ¿dónde puedes encontrar cómo maximizar el aprendizaje minimizando el tiempo de estudio? 
Esta guía es la respuesta. 
Este libro no se trata de modas pasajeras o de los últimos dispositivos electrónicos. Por el contrario, esta guía, basada en investigaciones rigurosas, nos muestra las maneras en las que todos aprendemos mejor. Está llena de historias que dan cuenta de la importancia del aprendizaje y de estrategias para usar en casa.
