Description
This “Study Guide” was written to accompany the best-selling book “What Great Teachers Do Differently: 14 Things That Matter Most,” It was written for the participants in seminars, book study groups, or other professional development events. Each of the twelve sections of the Study Guide focuses on one or two chapters of the book and is organized into five parts, with the acronym USE IT in mind, as follows: – Understanding Key Concepts, which summarize the key points for each chapter in the book; – Selecting Questions for Discussion, which can be used within the classroom/workshop setting; – Eliciting Journal Responses, which is a prompt for journal writing, based on the specific contents of the chapters; – Interacting With Others, which offers ideas for activities to use with participants; and – Taking It Back, which helps participants understand the contents of the book and to more importantly use the information in their own classrooms.
