Best teacher guide EVER

This booklet provides vastly more instruction on the nitty-gritty of what teachers need in the classroom. Thank you!

Excellent Read

I felt the book was an excellent read. I liked the way it segmented and summarized the classroom instruction methods. However, I did feel at times it went too deep into the research portion, when a nice short summary would have done the job. Also thought the charts used to document research findings could have been displayed better. Overall, as a non-teacher pursuing a teaching degree, it brought me up to speed on classroom instruction strategies.

Inspiring

The insights provided in this book guide and inspire the new teacher and the master teacher. The book left me excited about returning to school in the fall.

Sound Advice with Data to Back it Up

As a teacher I have encountered many points of view as to what will work best in my classroom. This book presents specific strategies that have the data and research to support their consistent use in enhancing student achievement. For seasoned teachers, like myself, although the strategies are not necessarily new, it is good to know which of the myriad of tools we have acquired over the years actually work and have the data to prove it. An excellent "tune up" for the classroom. I will put this into action right away this year and I am glad I read it over the summer to help me reshape my instruction for the coming year.
