review 1: Jim Burke's ideas are always incredibly useful. I understand that some would like to see his theories put into actual practice but I would argue that his methods are simply a springboard for both novice and seasoned teachers to jump off of in order to generate and practice their own ideas. Because every classroom is different, it would be ineffective for him to write in a "Do This" fashion...I'd it were that easy, teaching wouldn't be so hard...
review 2: Jim Burke's Effective Instruction is short and to the point, drawing on research and personal experience as a teacher on what works in the class room to motivate students. His advice is practical and easy to follow. What is impressive to me is that Burke is an English teacher yet wrote this book for any second... moreary education teacher. Most of the strategies and situations he talks about can be effective in any content area. If you are an education student or already a teacher, some of what he talks about might be familiar, as he draws on current, "hot" theories and ideas about education and student motivation, but for a teacher, new or veteran, looking for additional strategies to bring to the classroom, you should check this out. less
