While this is certainly a worthy companion to Martha Stone Wiske's Teaching for Understanding (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 1997), it isn't a necessary one. In fact, this is mostly a recap of much of the material in Ms. Wiske's volume; so if you're planning to adopt Teaching for Understanding as the framework for your instructional planning, that book will suffice. That said, this book might be a handy compendium to keep on your desk in your classroom.
