“Teaching for Lifelong Learning is a rich and informative book that kept me inspired and learning something new throughout my reading. Although I have been working with Understanding by Design, Elliott shed new light on how to design a practical curriculum that is adaptable for now and the future. I share his passion for reimagining learning and am grateful that he put together so many of the threads that will make this a tapestry for our return to shaping new learning environments.”

Drawing on knowledge and insight built over a distinguished career, Seif combines clear thinking, analysis of contrasting classroom scenarios, opportunity for readers to interact with the text, and rich resources for further learning to point the way to curriculum, instruction, and assessment that honor the potential and needs of the students we teach.”
