Book Description
Though classroom instructional strategies should clearly be based on sound science and research, knowing when to use them and with whom is more of an art. In The Art and Science of Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction, author Robert J. Marzano presents a model for ensuring quality teaching that balances the necessity of research-based data with the equally vital need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of individual students. He articulates his framework in the form of 10 questions that represent a logical planning sequence for successful instructional design. For classroom lessons to be truly effective, educators must examine every component of the teaching process with equal resolve. Filled with charts, rubrics, and organizers, this methodical, user-friendly guide will help teachers examine and develop their knowledge and skills, so they can achieve that dynamic fusion of art and science that results in exceptional teaching and outstanding student achievement.

This book, for the reflective teacher, is a tremendous tool to help guide teachers toward constructing meaningful lessons that promote real learning. The book provides solid strategies to support teachers in their efforts to go beyond "covering" material to teaching content for learning in ways that are both measurable and meaningful.

This is a real "teacher's handbook."

The Art and Science of Teaching: A comprehensive framework for effective instruction

The book focuses on the elements of effective teaching. The author presents a comprehensive model of effective instruction in the form of 10 questions. These questions are: (1) What will I do to establish and communicate learning goals, track student progress and celebrate success? (2) What will I do to help students effectively interact with new knowledge? (3) What will I do to help students practice and deepen their understanding of new knowledge? (4) What will I do to help students generate and test hypotheses about new knowledge? (5) What will I do to engage students? (6) What will I do to establish or maintain classroom rules or procedures? (7) What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence to classroom rules and procedures? (8) What will I do to establish and maintain effective relationships with students? (9) What will I do to communicate high expectations for all students? (10) What will I do to develop effective lessons organized into cohesive unit? The above questions represent a logical planning sequence for effective instructional design and they have been discussed in the ten chapters of the book.
The book has figures, diagrams, tables, rubrics, and graphic organizers. The book is easy to read and reflects current research and thinking on different aspects of classroom teaching such as teacher expectations, questioning, lesson design, and reflection.



4 out of 5 stars Good Information for Newer and Veteran Teachers   July 7, 2010

This book has very good strategies for both new and seasoned educators. New teachers will appreciate the immediacy by which the strategies can be implemented in the classroom. Seasoned teachers will appreciate the reminders of strategies that may have been used over the years.

I used this book for a graduate course and really enjoyed this book. Marzano shares such wonderful information for practitioners. He discusses the what and the how in reaching students by teaching responsively. I think this book should be on every educator's bookshelf!
