Excellent resource. If only school systems actually believed and applied concept-based teaching, instead of putting so much emphasis on standardized testing.

Simply first-rate: this is a cogent summary of concept-based curriculum and instruction with an array of clearly explained and appropriately supported planning strategies that foster and reinforce deep structural thinking across and among the common branch subjects. If you are a teacher interested in this kind of instruction, this book ranks as (I read a great deal of this material) as one of the very best on the matter.
