Good Instructional Strategies

Most of the schools in our county are adopting Direct Instruction as a sound instructional strategy. We have found good results from the teachers that are implementing it properly. We have seen other people from other schools using it and talking about the strategy, however, I did not totally understand the nuts and bolts until I read this book. If you are trying to perfect your craft, or you are a coach helping to get your school on board, this is the book for you.
