A comprehensive resource and reference tool for both novice and experienced educators Teachers are made, not born. Combining theory with practice, the authors identify 18 critical areas of classroom performance that include classroom management, instructional delivery, student motivation and engagement, and lesson and curriculum design and assessment. Each is accompanied by concrete, practical guidelines and examples of tools and strategies to skillfully address each of the 18 areas. Now in its 7th edition, this text has been the gold standard for decades in teacher prep and professional development. It is used extensively in school districts, colleges and universities across the U.S. and around the world by teachers who are invested in continuously improving their practice, as well as those who support teacher learning, growth and development. It is the ‘go to’ reference for principals, mentors, instructional coaches, and anyone who is engaged in observing and analyzing teaching to support teacher learning, and improve educational outcomes!

What Readers Are Saying Educational Leaders If I were to select a single tool to put in the hands of all teachers to assist them in raising student achievement, it would be this most recent edition of The Skillful Teacher. This book should be required reading for every undergraduate student preparing to enter the profession. It should be in the hands of every school principal who hopes to have a positive impact on teaching. It should be the encyclopedia available to every collaborative team of teachers, a powerful resource they can turn to when members have taught a unit the very best way they know how, yet students continue to struggle. The Skillful Teacher makes an enormous contribution to the profession, and any organization committed to improving teaching should make it available to its members.
