This review is from: Ten Best Teaching Practices: How Brain Research, Learning Styles, and Standards Define Teaching Competencies (Paperback)

Do you want to change the education system or just improve your teaching? This book is for you.

In this short book (83 pages), Donna Walker Tileston had distilled the essential elements 10 research-based teaching practices that will transform student achievement. You will learn how to incorporate brain research findings of Eric Jensen and others with learning styles and learning standards to create a framework for teaching any subject area.
Each chapter includes a list of assessment tools and indicators of success. This is very helpful in developing powerful learning lessons and applying the 10 practices in the classroom.

This book is my teaching bible. It is helping me become the teacher my students need and want. Put this one next to Harry Wong's, 1st Days of School, Fay and Funk's, Teaching with Love and Logic. Essential for every new teacher. This is a book you will wear out.
