This book, written by teachers for teachers, takes an important look at the compendium of factors that make up a competent classroom. The authors troubleshoot issues surrounding content standards, instructional objectives, and the aims of curriculum while keeping in mind the importance of inspiring students. This book helps readers consider the essential questions surrounding creative teaching and the ways of helping students take ownership of their learning.
Good books have a way of illuminating incidents so that one's own experiences come in to sharper focus. This was certainly the case for me while reading this accessible and very important book. - Patricia Wasley, from the Foreword ""This book is superb. The concepts are clearly explained and the uses in practice come to vivid life. I love the student quotes and how easy it is to see what the teachers did with the students' ideas."" - Connie Titone, College of New Jersey ""Deserves to be on the short list of recommended readings for beginning teachers and veterans alike."" - Jay McTighe, Independent Consultant
