Breakthrough Teaching
Good teachers use effective teaching strategies in their classrooms while great ones, the breakthrough-level teachers whose students make significant growth each year, know when and why to use specific instructional strategies to meet their students' needs. McREL's Breakthrough Teaching series of quick guides provides teachers with evidence-based insights and guidance on how to design and deliver instruction and activities that capture student interest and engage them in deep, memorable, applicable learning. Each guide in the series draws from the science of learning and cognition, expertise on teacher self-reflection and meta-cognition, and research on positive, productive student-teacher relationships.
