How are the best teachers in our nation reaching students?

Educators are always challenged to motivate students to learn, working hard to identify learning standards as well as to find creative and meaningful ways of incorporating them into their classrooms. Best Teaching Practices for Reaching All Learners is your guide to how award-winning teachers reach every child and provide what each learner needs to succeed.

• Using multiple intelligences, learning styles, affinity groups, and reflection in the classroom
