Learning in Overdrive: Designing Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment from Standards : A Manual for Teachers

Rating:
Summary: originator
Review: My wife, Rebecca, is the source of this book. Marilyn and Becky co-wrote it in our living room over several months with Rebecca as the main source of reference. I made many pots of tea as they spread upon the floor and wrote down what they had experienced. Angie Murdock was also a major influence. Ruth Mitchell's name got stuck on this by sheer political nonsense. She had nothing to do with writing, theory or research.

Summary: Helpful tips for teachers who work their craft
Review: This book is an excellent resource for teachers and schools who are struggling to put the sometimes vague language of the national standards into meaningful curriculum planning. While the book doesn't provide all the answers for every subject, it does show how teachers can apply standards-based education to the materials and units they already use.
