I have just completed a graduate level course at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln on teaching mathematics using a problem-solving approach. This book helped immensely in designing plans for instruction for the gamut of mathematical concepts and is keyed to the NCTM 2000 Standars for each grade level. An excellent resource for teachers who want to keep up to date!
