4.0 out of 5 stars
Great helps for block teaching,
This review is from: Teaching in the Block (Hardcover)
This book seems well-written, easy to engage, and providing good content. It was well worth buying because it helps teachers - especially those who are new to teaching in the block - discover the reasoning behind teaching in the block, utilize good instructional methods for teaching, and utilize the larger amount of class time as a result of the block schedule.
