THE book to have ....for your high achievers too!

If you know of Direct Instruction and the powerful research behind it, you'll know how fabulous this book is....not only b/c it's DI, but because it's written by some of the best of the best. If you don't have any knowledge or experience with Direct Instruction or it's programs....imagine this....the authors of this book are delineating the best strategies for teaching your students so that the information is communicated clearly and explicitly....no guessing ever necessary. Now take into consideration that the same people are YOUR teachers via this text. It's VERY well written and easy to use. It does take some time to sit down and read, (no way around that) BUT not a single word is wasted. They tell you what to do, why to do it, and how to do it and then provide very nice examples. Buy this book!
