Book Description
Though classroom instructional strategies should clearly be based on sound science and research, knowing when to use them and with whom is more of an art. In The Art and Science of Teaching: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction, author Robert J. Marzano presents a model for ensuring quality teaching that balances the necessity of research-based data with the equally vital need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of individual students. He articulates his framework in the form of 10 questions that represent a logical planning sequence for successful instructional design. For classroom lessons to be truly effective, educators must examine every component of the teaching process with equal resolve. Filled with charts, rubrics, and organizers, this methodical, user-friendly guide will help teachers examine and develop their knowledge and skills, so they can achieve that dynamic fusion of art and science that results in exceptional teaching and outstanding student achievement.

About the Author
Excellent read for people in the educational field. Wonderful strategies and techniques to use in the classroom.
Rating: 4 / 5
This book, for the reflective teacher, is a tremendous tool to help guide teachers toward constructing meaningful lessons that promote real learning. The book provides solid strategies to support teachers in their efforts to go beyond “covering” material to teaching content for learning in ways that are both measurable and meaningful.
This is a real “teacher’s handbook.”

This is the sort of book that makes one despair of education academics. It is barely literate, most of its points are obvious, and it has little that will help you in the classroom. I’d recommend Frames of Mind or even Rookie Teaching for Dummies over this book.

If you chewed on this book it might be more inspiring than it is as a read. Wow! You mean that encouraging students, giving them homework, and having them reflect on their lessons actually has beneficial effects? I’m shocked! It’s a good thing that these notions are presented with lots of proof from academic studies with lots of scientific graphs, or I would never believe them. Sheesh. Of course there are some good suggestions but they are not presented very well, so unless you can relate to some of the ideas already they probably won’t leave much of an impression on you. There have to be better books out there.

I used this book for a graduate course and really enjoyed this book. Marzano shares such wonderful information for practitioners. He discusses the what and the how in reaching students by teaching responsively. I think this book should be on every educator’s bookshelf!
