"Strategies for Effective Teaching" presents a thorough and current review of teacher planning, teaching methods, and teacher effectiveness research. Using the PRAXIS and INTASC criteria (teacher certification examinations) as a framework, the text explores how to effectively use the science of teaching in ways that ground an artful teaching ability. Teachers are both "born" and "made." The art of teaching emerges from the former; and the science grows out of the latter. The text helps prospective teachers see that teaching skills complement effective teaching; they are not the focus of teaching. Tips for teachers, research on effective teaching, and a focus on the learning paradigm (vs. the instructional paradigm) help pre-service teachers see that teaching is more than talking or telling. The new edition includes expanded treatment of technology, constructivism, and standards. New cases and updated research have been added, and a new book-specific Web Site accompanies the text.

The book provides a unique contribution to the literature in this field in that the studies of decision theory and data-based decision making are integrated. Focusing on educators assuming leadership roles in school improvement, the book’s content is equally relevant for administrators, supervisors, and teachers. The book, however, is centered on data-driven decision making, both as a requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act and as a normative professional standard. Issues related to accumulating, storing, and protecting data in districts and schools also are covered. Applications in administration, supervision, and teaching are demonstrated.

The Lasley/Matczynski/Rowley text is the first introduction to models of teaching that emphasizes the needs of a culturally diverse learner population. At the heart of the text are four categories of instructional models (reasoning, reorganizing, remembering, and relating) which deal with the range of intellectual skills students must exhibit in order to experience success in schools composed of diverse student populations. Two instructional models are discussed within each of the four categories.
