This book is quite helpful for me who is starting a school for K-12 in Japan, after decades of experience in training / coaching adults at work places. In Japan, curriruclum and teaching instructions are made centarally at Ministry of Education of the national government. I’m having hard time finding someone who can help me building curriculum and teaching instructions.
