Publisher's Synopsis
Teachers who consistently get the BEST out of their students-not only on test day but every day-do not wave a magic wand over their students, nor do they teach a magic lesson on how to beat the test. This book goes through 7 steps that will bring out the BEST in your students. It provides easy-to-use strategies and lessons for each of the steps. These strategies and lessons have been proven through trial and error in multiple classrooms, in multiple schools, over twenty-plus years. When intentionally applied, they will work for you! There are opportunities at the end of each chapter to reflect upon what you already do and what you might want to try. There are easy and specific lessons, activities, games, grouping methods, and strategies that can be applied right away into your classrooms. There are pathways described about how to take your success beyond your classroom, too! In every way that success is measured in education (respectful relationships with students; meaningful collaboration with colleagues; raising achievement on standardized tests; mastery of content; realizing a staff, administrative team, and community that is united and supportive), this book has a method for leading to that success! I'm so EXCITED to share these steps with you! You will be EXCITED to put them into practice and watch your students show their BEST work yet! Get this book, and Get Their Best!!!
