Ambitious Science Teaching

4.6/5

reader rating · 380 ratings

Published by Harvard Education Press in 2018 and recognized as a Choice Outstanding Academic Title that same year, Ambitious Science Teaching presents a research-grounded framework designed to make science instruction both rigorous and equitable across a wide range of subjects and grade levels. Co-authored by three university-based science education scholars, the book targets practicing and pre-service teachers seeking a coherent, practice-centered approach to science pedagogy — and it has seen adoption in schools and districts pursuing science teaching improvement at scale. This review is based on published sources and the book's documented contents; hands-on classroom application has not been independently tested by LuvemBooks.
