Instructional Models for Teachers

Description

Great teachers inspire great students. Instructional Models for Teachers is a full-color quick-reference teaching tool that turns proven classroom practice into 48 easy-to-follow instructional models. Instead of theory and long chapters, every model is presented as a short story about a real classroom moment, paired with an illustration that makes the point stick.

The format is simple and deliberate: four essentials per page, twelve pages of models, forty-eight strategies in all. Read one page before class, or work through a page a week with your team. Because each model is visual and self-contained, you can open the book, find what you need, and put it to work the same day.
