Editorial Reviews

"I have been teaching for 30 years and I still found new techniques in Revising Knowledge that I will try in my classroom. The Common Core techniques, which really work in the classroom, are a great addition." -- Wanda Lacy "2013 Tennessee Teacher of the Year"

"Revising Knowledge provides practical techniques for implementation and for monitoring student use of revision strategies. In addition, having both elementary and secondary examples provides teachers at all levels the opportunity to 'see' their own classrooms." -- Rebecca Snyder "2009 Pennsylvania Teacher of the Year"

"This book is an excellent resource for those teachers who are struggling with the shift from the more objective, isolated principles of the past to the more subjective, integrated methods that require students to revise knowledge before they can move on to hypothesizing and other higher-order skills." -- Amy I. Weems "2013 Louisiana Teacher of the Year"
