"Using a concept-based curriculum is essential to get students thinking and  active in their own learningErickson, Lanning & French explain in detail how to plan and teach in order to transform content into understanding that is relevant and compelling for all students."

-- Sarah Isaac, Lower School Assistant Principal

"This book provides the research and resources educators need to help students take ownership of their learning. It fosters students’ curiosity about their environment and it allows them to explore and become life-long learners."

-- Ellen Asregadoo, Fifth Grade Teacher

"This book gives a nice overview of how to plan for and implement concept based learning into the elementary classroom. Additionally, it provides practical examples and ideas that any educator can take and implement into his or her classroom immediately."

-- Kate Benson, Fourth Grade Team Leader

"The practical strategies and examples supported by manageable theoretical information is exactly what teachers need to begin to take the steps that feel so difficult for many teachers who can’t visualize what it would look like in their classrooms."

-- Monique Cadieux, Fifth Grade Teacher

"This is an important book for all teachers. We need to be honoring our students as thinkers who deserve developmentally appropriate intellectual rigor in the classroom. We will not achieve this in our traditional coverage based classroom. I am so inspired and can’t wait to start this journey (making mistakes and learning along the way!)."

-- Sarah Gat, Second Grade Teacher

The research-based lesson frameworks create a clear and doable plan for teachers at any grade or content level. This book is a must for any instructional coach or curriculum writer."
