Recenzii
"A coherent approach to curriculum, instruction, and assessment in the age of standards-driven education. It will be an excellent contribution."

"The book builds a bridge of confidence that will convince readers of both the ideas and of their own ability to succeed."
"A wonderful and thorough explanation of the Balanced Curriculum."
"The work that Dr. Squires has done in moving the curriculum development process onto the Web has removed some of the tedium involved in crafting curriculum, making it ‘user friendly’ and open to the kinds of ongoing changes that make the promise of continual renewal of curriculum a reality."
