Together, these insights suggest that in order to motivate students for academic learning, produce deep understanding, and ensure the transfer of educational experiences into real-world skills and careers, educators must find ways to leverage the emotional aspects of learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmordino-Yang has both the gift for captivating readers with her research and the ability to connect this research to everyday learning and teaching.
