—Heidi Hayes Jacobs, President and Founder, Curriculum Designers, Inc.; Executive Director, Curriculum Mapping Institute
“The Common Core will only realize its full potential to prepare our students for 21st century challenges if it truly helps them develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. That will only happen if our teachers have concrete, practical tools to help them in that endeavor. This book is precisely that kind of tool.” —Ken Kay, CEO, EdLeader21; Founding President, Partnership for 21st Century Skills
