Review
"The essence of good teaching is in this book. It's a potent reminder of what it means when teachers teach whole human beings-their minds, hearts, and souls. Erickson helps us recall what all great teachers know: quality teaching is about building young lives." (Carol Ann Tomlinson, Professor, University of Virginia )
"Erickson sets the standard for concept-based curriculum. Her work offers a theoretically rich and eminently practical approach for constructing curriculum around rich, transferable concepts. The third edition extends this seminal work for the benefit of educators and their students." (Jay McTighe, Educational Consultant, McTighe and Associates )
"Shows us the value of teaching to transferable ideas, and emphasizes deep understanding versus shallow coverage of material. Erickson guides educators in designing a high-quality curriculum organized around the essential concepts and ideas of each discipline. This book a must-read for preservice and inservice teachers and administrators at all levels." (Lois Lanning, Assistant Superintendent )
"Erickson's work is a gift for teachers striving to prepare students for the exciting challenges of the twenty-first century. The concepts of teaching for global citizenship in today's world come alive with Erickson's clear, practical, and inspiring guidance." (Irene Davy, Director )

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Timely Concept!,
This review is from: Stirring the Head, Heart, and Soul: Redefining Curriculum, Instruction, and Concept-Based Learning (Paperback)
Lynn Erickson's book does not disappoint. In this third edition book, Erickson sets the stage for `why' educators should be interested in conceptual teaching. Importantly, Erickson, an educator herself, writes with authentic respect for teachers who seek to create thoughtful classrooms in schools across the country today (against the backdrop of the recent emphasis on test prep). This book is a good choice for both school administrators/policy makers and teachers. Erickson successfully weaves 1-strategies for assisting teachers to structure their instruction and 2-the reasons behind what she is advocating in terms of education for the 21st Century. For educators who seek greater understanding about creating meaningful instruction, this book containing Erickson's most recent insights is a good choice!
Donna Wilson, Ph.D.
