Key Ideas
Researchers used a process called "meta-analysis" to determine the effect size of given instructional techniques.
Using this research base on effective instruction, they identified those instructional strategies most likely to lead to improved student learning.
This book presents a look at the research and theory behind those instructional strategies, along with explicit examples, suggestions for classroom practice, and advice for instructional planning.
