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

  • 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.
  • Why attempts to simplify schooling tend to subvert the goal of educating students for real life.
