Tzeporaw Sahadeo-Turner, MSEd, MS, has made effective pedagogy and student achievement the primary focuses of her career. Her history as a high school science teacher, an 8th grade comprehensive science teacher, and an administrator with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) and Florida Virtual School has allowed her to experience and evaluate effective curricula and pedagogy from nearly every angle. Ms. Sahadeo-Turner earned both of her master's degrees from University of South Florida. Her dynamic style has her in high demand across the country. Robert J. Marzano, PhD, is a nationally recognized education researcher, speaker, trainer, and author of more than 30 books and 150 articles on topics such as instruction, assessment, writing and implementing standards, cognition, effective leadership, and school intervention. His practical translations of the most current research and theory into classroom strategies are widely practiced internationally by both teachers and administrators.
