Gose’s expansive career in education informs this insightful text. He broadens the commonly accepted, narrow view of scholarship and research by emphasizing the myriad scholarly endeavors that are so often overlooked in the pursuit of everyday learning excellence. My students commonly quote Gose in my classes. After reading this book, I am certain that I will do the same.

Dr. Michael Gose has written a thought-provoking book that aligns teaching and research as one intertwined activity from kindergarten through doctoral programs. Influenced by such educational legends as Elliot Eisner and Benjamin Bloom, among others, Gose tells stories, utilizes past research, and embraces new forms of inquiry, all of which he hopes will contribute to a better education for all—K-Phd. Although an ambitious undertaking, Gose succeeds in offering sage advice for kindergarten teachers (have students learn about varied forms of scholarship) as well as professors (learn about teaching, scholarship broadly defined, service and collegiality). Words of counsel that Gose offers for all learners at any grade level or even for those out of school—stay curious and never stop questioning.
