Burdick, STEAM Program Coordinator, Pasco County Schools, Land O' Lakes, FL</p> <p> </p> <p>"For anyone who is confused or who is struggling to navigate in this new era of Common Core and high standards, this book is an invaluable resource. Getting our students to reach high levels of understanding is a complex task and Dr. Sulla is able to break it down into powerful components for teachers to implement. The" teacher as bridge builder" is a perfect metaphor and what is needed in today's classrooms."</p> <p>--Roy R. Montesano, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools, Hastings-on-Hudson School District, Greenburgh, NY</p> <p> </p> <p>"The educational landscape has changed.
