review 1: Not the most readable book... But there the data on strategies and the appendix is worth this book's weight in gold. Basic idea of the book is to take as much data on researching strategies and ranking effectiveness on the aggregate. Not a book that digs deep into particular effective strategies, but rather an eye on getting teachers to explore their own effectiveness through application and reflection.
review 2: First of all, I haven't finished reading this whole book. This book was given to me by the school district for which I work. I read several chapters. I read some things that are referenced in it. I have used it as a resource for some presentations. I'm abandoning this book, as a cover-to-cover read. I can't read the whole thing. That would be torture.
... moreI still gave the book two stars because it has been helpful as a resource, and what I've read has provoked interesting thought, discussion, and led me to other reading. But on a whole, I just can't finish it. less

Probably the most influential book on teaching I've read. Aimed at educators and not a light read.

Made me think about what is important in schools for improving instruction and student learning.

A meta-analysis of "what works" instructionally, written for teachers. Very thought provoking!
