Kris,

My first introduction to essential questions came through my Interdisciplin=
ary Curriculum Design course with Heidi Jacobs. =20

I would check out this book: =20

Getting Results with Curriculum Mapping by Heidi Hayes Jacobs.

Dr. Jacobs has a number of other books you can find here:=20

Good luck,

- Alex
