Description: This brief outlines nine leading research-based concepts that have served as a foundation for education reform.  It compares existing ideas about learning, knowledge, and teaching with conceptual benchmarks for "best practice" that would be consistent with current research.  The goal is to foster inquiry and support fundamental, long-term improvement by offering promising ideas for readers to consider, discuss, and adapt to their circumstances.
Notes: Based on an NEA Research working paper, "Theories of learning and teaching: what do they mean for educators," by Susanne M. Wilson and Penelope L. Peterson (2006).
