Review
"This book is smart, and wise, and energizing. It honors the disciplines we teach by reminding us of their inherent meaning, rather than allowing us to accept them as collections of data. It honors teachers with the belief that they grow as human beings through understanding the power of what they teach and crafting approaches for sharing that power with young learners. It honors students by expecting them to become thinkers capable of reasoned stewardship of the world they live in and will inherit. It maps out a path for achieving the twin goals of content understanding and developing thinking—both too long absent in too many schools." (Carol Ann Tomlinson, Ed.D., William Clay Parrish, Jr. Professor)
"This revised edition is essential for all educators! If you want to help students deal with the overwhelming rate of complexity and information overload they face, look no further. This practical guide will help you design units for deep learning that lasts."� (Julie Stern, Independent Trainer and Curriculum Designer)
"This new, updated edition of Erickson’s Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction for the Thinking Classroom provides deep insights on how to create a thinking classroom by developing intellect and preparing our students for the 21st Century. This is a research-based, practical guide to designing curriculum and instruction that focuses on conceptual understandings through utilizing an inquiry-based approach. This book is bursting with examples and systematic strategies to engage and motivate our students. A must read for all 21st century educators!" (Jennifer T. H. Wathall, Consultant and Author of Concept-Based Mathematics)
"The authors are justly intent on advancing the intellect of our students and ensuring schools are places that shape lifelong learners. The Concept-Based approach challenges teachers to think deeply about what and how they are teaching so that students deepen their understanding and retain and apply what they’ve learned. One of the greatest challenges any teacher faces is the transfer of agency from the teacher to the student. Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction does just that. If we are serious about promoting engaged, motivated, productive, creative citizens, our teacher preparation institutions must provide in-depth guidance in this powerful design process. It is imperative that pre-service teachers understand “how knowledge and processes are structured and the relationship of these structures to teaching, learning, and intellectual development.” I know of no better resource to guide pre-service teachers in the development of thinking students than this text and others by these authors." (Karen L. List, Project Director, PK – 3rd Grade Leadership Program, Executive Coach, LEAD CT)
"Teachers must be able to engage and motivate learners before they can teach them. However, engagement and motivation only come when learning is relevant and intrinsically interesting. For learning to be relevant and intrinsically interesting, teachers must start by crafting deeper conceptual understandings of personal or transferable significance. Given the pressures of a coverage curriculum, developing students’ critical, creative and conceptual minds is one of the biggest challenges our teachers face today. This brilliant piece of work by Lynn, Lois, and Rachel is what teachers need to address the challenge. The authors have beautifully presented a broad range of theoretically grounded and highly practical strategies to improve student engagement, thinking, and motivation through the principles of Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction. "
(Ashish Trivedi, MYP School Services Manager, Asia Pacific)
“What should students know in an age of search engines? As factual and procedural knowledge are a click away, education needs to foster contextualization and higher order thinking through a focus on transferable conceptual understandings. This should be the Holy Grail of a modern education, which needs to crisply redefine what type of content matter is most needed so as to reserve time and space for deeper learning to occur.� This essential book translates the needed sophistication of concept-based learning into actionable classroom practices, which every teacher will be enchanted to have.” (Charles Fadel, Author of “Four-Dimensional Education” and “21st Century Skills")
"A must read for all teacher credentialing programs. A valuable teacher’s guide on creating deep, passionate concept-based units of inquiry. This book artfully engages the reader’s thinking and takes them through a journey merging best practices in teaching and learning with brain based pedagogy. Once again, the authors explicitly demonstrate why Concept-Based teaching and learning is essential for all 21st century learners." (Guadalupe Arellano, Student Advocate and Instructional Coordinator)
"The 2nd edition of Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction effectively brings together Erickson's Structure of Knowledge and Lanning's Structure of Process to present a coherent vision for Concept-Based teaching and learning across the disciplines. The enhanced focus on inquiry reiterates the importance of giving children the opportunity to form their own conceptual understandings inductively. I recommend this book to anyone interested in getting to the heart of Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction!"
(Carla Marschall, Vice Principal and Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction Consultant)
"This book provides support for educators implementing a concept-based curriculum. The practical planning steps and concrete examples for a range of grade levels provide an invaluable guide for those who aspire to make learning powerful. The book does not shy away from the reality of what a challenging journey the transition to a concept-based curriculum will be; rather it embraces the challenge as part of the joy of learning." (Caroline Joslin-Callahan, Primary School Principal)

Worth a look!
By Combatpainter
This book turned unit design, lesson planning and academic standards inside-out for me. It is a bit arbitrary, technical, plodding and esoteric at times-not based on data or well researched-a bit fanciful in my view. It does, however, mention that it took the author 18 years to gain her understanding of concept-based curriculum design, so don't feel so bad if you are confused. Overall, this is a good book. I notice many state standards written with the big picture in mind. Now I will recognize those quicker and immediately understand their purpose. The simple explanation describing fact, topic, concept and generalization is effective. Teachers exposed to concept-based instruction need to practice this in their mind with ordinary household items. It is a fun exercise and it allows one to strengthen insight into seeing everything from the outside. I picture a funnel. The facts are the small end and the generalizations/principles are the large side. When one teaches using only facts, you are pressed in the small end. It is the same as being bogged down with the details while missing the big picture. The author seems to have some confusing and narrow descriptions for some aspects of CBI which is why I gave it a 4 star review. As a whole, I believe it has value. The theory is solid, but the book's explanations are somewhat technical for your average teacher, especially elementary teachers who deal mostly with children at the concrete operational stage. I do believe it has across-the-board value for all teachers. I recommend it.
