From the Back Cover

What is the "models approach" to teaching? It is a method which enables readers to understand instruction as a field of study, not simply a collection of practices. Written in a style that is both concise and user-friendly, this book provides busy educators with the tools they need to enhance and improve the learning process.

This book provides a research-based, yet easily accessible discussion of the models of teaching using a user-friendly, step-by-step format. Practical examples and end-of-book case studies illustrate key points and are drawn from a variety of grade levels and classroom experiences. Each chapter covers one model, broken down into "Steps," followed by a summary, variations of the model, exercises, the research base, activities, and scenarios, offering a consistent, user-friendly chapter format. "Activities," and "Scenarios" provide hands-on application of each model. Educators, school administrators, and curriculum specialists.
