Larry Cubans How Teachers Taught has been widely acclaimed as a pathbreaking text on the history and evolution of classroom teaching. Now Cuban brings his great experience as a classroom teacher, superintendent, and researcher to this highly anticipated followup. Focusing on three diverse school districts (Arlington, Virginia; Denver, Colorado; Oakland, California), Hugging the Middle offers an incisive portrayal of how teachers teach now. It is a revealing look at a range of current, workable pedagogical options educators are using to engage students while satisfying parents and policymakersoptions that succeed by creating hybrid practices that combine both teachercentered approaches (e.g., mostly direct instruction, textbooks, lectures) with studentcentered ones (e.g., team projects on realworld problems, independent learning, smallgroup work).A stateoftheprofession assessment in this era of topdown educational policy, Hugging the Middle: Brings Larry Cubans years of experience and keen historians eye to an analysis of teaching today. Looks at teachers continuing adaptations to standardsbased education reform and the No Child Left Behind Act. Compares classroom practices in a cross section of U.S. urban schools. Gauges the impact of technology (or lack thereof) in the contemporary classroom.Praise for Larry Cuban's classic How Teachers Taught:' How Teachers Taught is one of the most important books on educational history in years and one that has considerable implications for improving the practice of teaching.' Michael W. Sedlak, Book Review, The Elementary School Journal, Vol. 86, No. 2 (Nov., 1985)I know of nobody who does the long view of educational reform better than Larry Cuban, and this text exemplifies this more than ever. For those genuinely interested in sustainable rather than superficial reform, this is required reading. Ciaran Sugrue, University of Cambridge
