Another Best-Seller,
By
This review is from: Teacher's Essential Guide: Effective Instruction (Paperback)
As always, Jim Burke has produced a concise and user-friendly resource for teachers. Each chapter's key idea is followed with guiding principles for immediate implementation or for a comparative review of teaching practices. His Tech Notes remind us of our responsibility to integrate 21st Century literacy skills, and his "Keep in Mind" additions give us reason to reflect. Don't overlook the Works Cited page either as it highlights the best of current research and practice.
This book would be an outstanding addition to any new teacher mentoring program.
