This book presents an innovative approach to teaching that helps
students acquire and use knowledge in ways that go beyond rote
memorization of facts and figures--to develop a level of
understanding that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Based on a six-year collaborative research project of school
teachers and researchers from the Harvard Graduate School of
Education, the book describes what teaching for understanding looks
like in the classroom, and examines how teachers have learned to
use it.

example of what educators in universities and schools can
accomplish when they engage in sincere efforts to benefit
students." --Association for Supervision and Curriculum
Development
"A remarkable work, conceptually bold and practical. It makes the
best of contemporary practices seem eminently reasonable, while
also offering a framework for making teaching for understanding
accessible to our teachers." --Deborah Meier, author of The Power
of Their Ideas and founder, Central Park East Public Schools, East
Harlem, New York
"At last, a new volume from a team of scholars at Harvard's
Graduate School of Education and Project Zero that takes teaching,
learning, and understanding, as both theory and practice. My
congratulations to Howard Gardner, David Perkins, and Vito Perrone
for a project well-conceived and well-conducted, and to Stone Wiske
for a useful, educator-friendly book." --Lee S. Shulman, president,
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
"As the authors acknowledge, teaching for understanding is an old
idea and a simple one. But their lucid and thorough exploration of
it is fresh and richly generative--and compelling too, in a way
reserved for ideas that seem as practical as they are provocative.
A whole range of people who care about teaching will be drawn to
this book, and they will be well served." --Joe McDonald, director
of research, Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown
University
