Description
Teachers who acquire elaborate core practices intuitively make the best decisions in the classroom. They rely on expertise that enables them not only to master the daily and often complex challenges of the profession, but to teach in ways that help students make the best possible progress. They recognize core practices as the key components of adaptive and successful teaching, in such areas as supporting students, diagnosing difficulties, providing feedback, guiding conversations, explaining, and more. Core Practices of Successful Teachers: Supporting Learning and Managing Instruction explores core practices that enable educators to teach in the best possible way for the benefit of students. Via a variety of suggestions and activities, this book shows pre-service and in-service teachers how to not only learn about and understand numerous core practices, but also how to engage with, develop, reflect on, and improve them.
