PCM helps teachers not only strengthen their knowledge and pedagogy, but also rediscover a passion for their discipline based on their deeper, more connected understanding. Our students think critically and deeply at a level I have never before witnessed.</em>--Tony Poole, Principal (7/17/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Offers a sophisticated yet doable model for curriculum planning. The approach honors the integrity of the disciplines while remaining responsive to the diversity of learners that teachers encounter. This book provides a practical pathway for connecting the content and the kids.</em>--Jay McTighe, Educational Consultant (7/25/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>What makes this book unique is its insistence on the development of conceptual understanding of content and its focus on the abilities, interests, and learning preferences of each student. The Parallel Curriculum Model provides a path for educators to move from novice to expert.</em>--H. Lynn Erickson, Educational Consultant (7/24/2008 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><strong>Praise for the First Edition: </strong></p><p><em>"This thought-provoking, creative, and inspiring book contains chapters by recognized leaders in the field.
