This fully updated edition of a classic text explores established approaches to teaching that are grounded in research and experience to ensure high levels of learning.

Models of Teaching combines rationale and research with real-life examples and applications in the classroom, showing how teachers, professional learning communities, and school faculties can improve student attainment. The volume contains the major psychological and philosophical approaches to teaching and schooling, including thoroughly documented research on the models of teaching and their effects on student success, and offers teachers the tools to accelerate student learning.

Features include:

three completely new chapters covering the origins of models in teaching, explicit strategy instruction and metacognition for teaching reading comprehension, and best practices for teachers coaching other teachers, expanding instruction, and supporting school renewal;
scenarios for each model to explore the concepts in action;
discussions of research relevant to each model throughout the text;
advice from the authors about the use of the models in teaching;
support for incorporating the language arts and science standards and supporting STEM
instruction.

With the aim of providing a strong impact on student achievement while keeping in line with the current emphasis on standards-based education, this classic resource will be essential reading for pre-service and new teachers as well as current teaching professionals.

This text is supported by extensive multimedia materials, including video demonstrations of the models in action, PowerPoint slides and an Instructor’s Manual, available at www.modelsofteaching.org.
