Let me know if you'd like to look at any of these...

• Literacy is Not Enough (Crockett, Jukes, Churches).  This book, from the 21st-Century Fluency Project, argues for a set of skills that students should have to be successful.  These include solution fluency, creativity fluency, information fluency, media fluency, and collaboration fluency.  As you might guess from the title, the book includes an argument against the use of the word "literacy" in favor of "fluency".  Each of the five fluencies listed includes a set of skills and a rubrics for students and teachers to evaluate their lessons against those skills.  There are also several detailed lesson plans included.
• Peer Instruction (Eric Mazur).  This is an older book (from 1997), but is still relevant, even prescient.  Mazur is a physics instructor at Harvard, and has been a leader in Physics Education Research for years.  Part One of this book is most valuable for teachers in all subjects, giving the background reasoning and methods for student groupwork.  Part Two is specific to physics teachers, with particular questions for physics topics.
• Project-Based Learning Handbook (Buck Institute for Education).  This is a step-by-step handbook for instituting project-based learning in middle school or high school.  It is extremely practical, with tabbed sections, idea banks, and examples from nearly all disciplines.
