Editorial Reviews

Review

 "It is the clearest approach I have seen for helping teachers distinguish the difference between concepts and facts. I will recommend it everywhere."

(Heidi Hayes Jacob, Curriculum Designers, Inc )

"A lucid and helpful volume, very much what people need to move beyond simplistic teaching." (Grant P. Wiggins Learning by Design, Inc. )

"For me, the book is a desirable blend of theory, practice, and illustration. Its explanations are clear, and the translation of those explanations into classroom examples helps me move from vision to implementation. The book has clarified for me what it means to think about a discipline like an expert would-what it means to help students construct frameworks of meaning in a discipline-what it means to develop both curriculum and assessments that are catalysts for relevance, coherence, connectivity, and power." (Carol Ann Tomlinson, author )

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book that Changes Traditional Lesson-Planning, June 2, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction: Teaching Beyond the Facts (Paperback)
This is one of the most engaging and useful books I've read on curriculum. I've been trying to attach concepts to my lesson plans but I've always been uncertain on how effective these plans are. The most useful part of this book was its main theme. That is, how to teach beyond facts. The book is constantly clarifying concepts developed by the author; and uses many models to visualize a concept-based curriculum. It is a must for every teacher and educator working at any level in education.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required, November 23, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction: Teaching Beyond the Facts (Paperback)
This book was a required read for a graduate class I took this summer. In the end I felt this book was a good read for someone heading towards project based learning. While not easy to read it was definately worth my while.
