• Smart Schools: Better Thinking and Learning for Every Child

The elements of "teaching for understanding" include: 1. a generative topic 2. understanding goals 3. ongoing assessment 4. images/mental models. Perkins discusses the idea of transferring learning (making sure that what you teach is something students can transfer to another situation/subject). Rec. by Sarah Benkendorf.

• The Big Picture: Education Is Everyone's Business
  While there are lots of books about education that propose to change what you do in classrooms and schools, here's one that promises to transform how you think. Drawing from 35 years of taking on tough schools with disadvantaged kids and achieving the kind of progress that many thought "couldn't be done", Dennis Littky explains the principles and rationale of a model for schooling that gives students what they need most. Discover how a philosophy of personalized learning--one student at a time--is the key to creating schools where motivated students are engaged in a meaningful curriculum, and academic progress is measured against real-world standards.

• WestEd: Inside High School Reform: Making the Changes That Matter
  Reported here are the conclusions from formal evaluations over the past ten years of high school reform shepherded by the California Academic Partnership Program (CAPP). CAPP schools are each funded for three to five years, with grants of about $100,000 a year, to make fundamental changes for their students. As these schools discovered, not all changes are equally valuable, but some are simply essential. Inside High School Reform lays out some of the apparently universal lessons of making the reform changes that matter.
