Summary: The theory, the research, and the practical ideas
Comment: Dr. Ellis and Dr. Stuen have collected the background theory and the most current research related to a well-known strategy for maximizing student interest and achievement. Interdisciplinary curriculum combines compatible knowledge and skills that traditionally would be addressed in separate disciplines or simply overlooked. They present all the pieces necessary for deciding on such an approach, using a very readable but authoritative style. I like the format for reviewing each one. The examples are a thoughtful range that represent the strategy, and they include contact information for active practitioners as well as current publications. For anyone caught up in the testing frenzy that has reduced many classes to ancient drill-and-kill methods, this book is an inspiration. I think it is accessible to any educated person, not just grad students in education beefing up their knowledge base, but also to school board members who may have been approached to fund a program in this category. Great combination how-to and how-come.
