Provides fundamentals such as definitions, descriptions, theoretical and empirical bases, critical analyses, and conclusions, focusing on programs and curriculums that have achieved widespread influence. While demonstrating how to distinguish between innovative programs and faddish ideas which lack a research base, the authors discuss such topics as self esteem programs; teaching for intelligence; direct instruction; alternative/authentic assessment; innovations from brain research; whole language learning; interdisciplinary curriculum; cooperative learning; and outcome-based education.
