"This book is 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 Author, The Parallel Curriculum "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 Author, Understanding by Design Help students analyze and synthesize information for a deeper understanding of big ideas!
