This book has distilled lessons from more than 17,000 classroom visits into immediately useful teaching practices that can be used with students in every grade level and subject area. Authors John V. Antonetti and James R. Garver draw from their vast set of data to explain why it's necessary to shift the classroom dynamic from teaching to learning; what kinds of activities truly engage students in worthwhile, rigorous thinking; and how to use student feedback and classroom assessments to advance the learning process.
