review 1: I just finished this book for my teacher book club (yes, yes I'm a nerd). Marzano is a wiz when it comes to practical classroom strategies. I just gave it a so-so rating because many of the tools and ideas were things I already implement in my daily taeching. Yet, I did get some good ideas (celebration board and four corners!) that I will definitely be trying out next year. The book made me miss teaching, and I'm only a week into break!
review 2: Three stars is a fairly high rating for books I have read about teaching. Pros: The last chapter, applying the information while planning, was an especially effective and practical review/summary. I appreciate the research based approach of this series by Marzano, and the authors do go farther than most others in ... morebreaking down their recommendations into clear actions that teachers can take or avoid. Cons: Too much of the books is devoted to classroom scenarios that did nothing to further my understanding. Many pages are repetition of previous information in "reproducible" format. less
