• Smart Schools
  The Smart Schools principles for good education, developed by David Perkins and colleagues at Harvard Project Zero, are based on the two guiding beliefs: 1. Learning is a consequence of thinking, and good thinking is learnable by all students. 2. Learning should include deep understanding, which involves the flexible, active use of knowledge. These principles provide a structure for schools with a vision of a learning community that is steeped in thinking and deep understanding, that engenders respect for all its members, and that produces students ready to face the world as responsible, thinking members of a diverse society.

• Smart Schools: Better Thinking and Learning for Every Child
  David Perkins describes his thoughts on "teaching for understanding" where he promotes the idea of understanding as "performance" (to be able to think and act flexibly with what you know). 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.
