I am so poor and I can not afford buy this book. Please help me :(

This book requires braving education-theory speak, but its aims are worthwhile: to focus on what the authors call a "performance of understanding," i.e., to shift one's emphasis from products to process in the classroom.

While not useful for everyday teaching ideas, the book offers some questions to ask yourself that might be helpful for curriculum design (or redesign) (see esp. Ch. 3).

Simply put, a road map to a more profound and effective pedagogy. I would think this should be de rigueur reading in any teacher-preparation program if for not other reason than to serve as an antidote to the tendency in education to march students through a succession of decontextualized and and therefore inert facts.

Glad to see that a rubric was included to make assessing easier to understand.
