These strategies-all of which are effective and complementary-are presented within a framework geared toward instructional planning and aligned with how the brain learns.

Both new and veteran teachers will finish this book with a better understanding of how effective teaching boosts student achievement and a clearer idea of what to do, when to do it, and why.
