Product 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.

Customer Reviews

Barely literate
This is the sort of book that makes one despair of education academics. It is barely literate, most of its points are obvious, and it has little that will help you in the classroom. I'd recommend Frames of Mind or even Rookie Teaching for Dummies over this book.

Marzano on classroom management
This is an excellent book for new teachers as well as a good review for veteran teachers on best practices regarding classroom management. I highly recommend it.

Marzano has so much to say!
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!
