Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

David Perkins, a noted authority on teaching and learning, introduces a new, practical, and research-based framework for teaching. Using learning the game of baseball as a metaphor, Perkins illustrates how teaching any subject at any grade level can be made more effective if students are introduced to the "whole game," rather than isolated pieces of a discipline.

PRAISE FOR MAKING LEARNING WHOLE

"David Perkins is one of the great teachers of our time. In this insight-filled book, you can learn how he achieves his educational goals and how you can achieve yours as well."
—HOWARD GARDNER, HOBBS PROFESSOR OF COGNITION AND EDUCATION, HARVARD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION; AUTHOR, FIVE MINDS FOR THE FUTURE

"An instant classic! Making Learning Whole will be used for decades by those interested in a framework for making classrooms better places for learning."
—GARY S. STAGER, Ph.D., EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, THE CONSTRUCTIVIST CONSORTIUM

"A must-read for those serious about transforming education to prepare our youth for success in a rapidly changing world."
—DR. JAYNE H. MOHR, ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT, TRAVERSE CITY (MICHIGAN) AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

"David Perkins goes straight to the heart of the matter. Every educator should read this book, and so should policymakers whose work influences whether and how we can finally make school learning whole."
—LINDA DARLING-HAMMOND, CHARLES E. DUCOMMUN PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION, STANFORD UNIVERSITY
