Excellent way to think of curriculum
This is the best book on teaching and curriculum development that I have ever encountered. As a high school science teacher I had already been rebelling against the "march through the textbook" approach, but I had no coherent framework for reimagining my curriculum. I still teach pretty much all the same material, but with a structured approach to encouraging students to understand why they are learning it, how it fits together and what it all means.

Informative
Blythe gave an organized guide to creating a lesson for understanding. It was easy to follow and well explained. The classroom examples were perfectly match with each section and helped with content understanding.

Gives a solid overview for planning curriculum!
The Teaching for Understanding model is a simple and straight-forward way to think about designing curriculum. It has strong similarities to the Buck Institutes protocol for project-based learning. It also feels quite similar to Wiggins And McTigue's Understanding by Design. I wished they had included more useable templates that align with their model. A good read!

Wonderful book for educators
This is an outstanding short book for teachers of all ages. It presents a good summary of ideas and suggestions that work in classrooms and that are based on solid research. The book is nicely structured to be used by a single teacher or as a faculty looking to improve their students' learning.

For school
I would not buy this book for trying to improve my teaching. I had to buy it for a class and it had some good ideas in there but there are better books out there.
