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!
