"This book provides a blueprint for any school or district to continuously enhance the instructional prowess of teachers. Concepts like ‘video-enhanced professional development’ are revolutionary in their intent, yet consummately simple, clear, and practical." Author: Robert J. Marzano, CEO
"Not only is Jim Knight the reigning expert in coaching, but he keeps on innovating. Focus on Teaching extends and deepens how coaching can have a powerful impact at low cost through the purposeful use of video. It′s all there--ideas, tools, technicalities, frameworks, application. You can even coach yourself!" Author: Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus
"Jim Knight is one of my favorite educational authors. His ability to organize research and theory into comprehensible, action-oriented recommendations is unmatched in K-12 education, and he′s done it again with Focus on Teaching: Using Video for High Impact Teaching. It provides a blueprint for any school or district to continuously enhance the instructional prowess of teachers. Some of his concepts like "video-enhanced professional development" are revolutionary in their intent yet consummately simple, clear, and practical. This book should be a standard text for any educator interested in furthering the teaching profession."
