About This Title
"I love the author’s delineation of her own understanding of concept-based teaching over an 18-year period. Somehow that humanizes the work of teaching and helps us understand that only as we risk growth will we be able to guide our students in that way as well."
—Carol Ann Tomlinson, Professor of Educational Leadership
Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
"A worthwhile and important contribution to the field."
—Jay McTighe, Educational Author and Consultant
McTighe and Associates
"Reader friendly, lots of illustrations and examples, personal in tone, and down to earth."
—Kathy Hargrove, Associate Dean
