Tokuhama-Espinosa has written a cutting-edge book that has the potential to change the way educators think about designing and teaching the curriculum. Teaching relationships using the five broad pillars makes infinitely more sense in this day when most content can be found by 'Googling.'--Pat Wolfe, author of Brain Matters: Translating Research in Classroom Practice In this brief but mighty volume, Tokuhama-Espinosa proposes a new way of processing, proving, and understanding the world around us. . . . This is the most thought-provoking and innovative book about education I have read in a very long time.--Carol Ann Tomlinson, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia
