The authors provide straightforward, research informed accounts of what makes each of these practices problematic. And they share easy-to-implement instructional, assessment and classroom management strategies you can use to meet the goals those problematic practices are intended to achieve…without the downsides and damage.
This book is for all educators at all stages of their career, including preservice teachers who will be educating the next generation of students. Read it and reflect on it with colleagues. Use it to focus your own inquiry into what is and is not working for your students and to replace ineffective and potentially harmful habits with more positive and effective ones.
