If you believe that schools can go beyond test scores and standards to foster students’ understanding of subjects, then here’s a book that will renew your commitment to meaningful teaching and learning.

Using classroom observations and keen insights from research, one of education’s foremost thinkers on constructivism explains

  • Why lessons and courses should involve students in answering challenging questions, resolving contradictions, and solving intriguing problems.
  • How focusing classroom instruction on big ideas develops student understanding as well as essential skills.
  • How replacing typical school approaches with a community of learners model will lead to higher achievement for more learners.
