\ Jamie Jahnig"This manuscript was easy to read and understand, and I feel like I could begin this process right now."\ \ \ \ \ Rodney Rich"This book is obviously the work of an author who has walked a faculty or two through this procedure."\ \ \ Margo Gibson"After reading this book, I felt that I had the knowledge and tools to show my teachers how they might create their own personal 'curriculum guides' and have meaningful collaboration with other teachers to coordinate instruction both horizontally and vertically."\ \ \ \ \ Constance Hill"Offering a new approach, [this book] is a valuable addition to the body of literature on curriculum mapping."\ \ \ \ \ Teacher Librarian"Glass offers a way of reducing huge lists of standards and integrating them to produce a yearlong plan that will actually get taught at the various grade levels. Worth a look!"\ \
