Inspiring July 10, 2008
The insights provided in this book guide and inspire the new teacher and the master teacher. The book left me excited about returning to school in the fall.
 Research on Teaching April 14, 2008
This is a very dry book with a lot of excellent ideas. Though hard to read, it is valid in what it presents.

I felt the book was an excellent read. I liked the way it segmented and summarized the classroom instruction methods. However, I did feel at times it went too deep into the research portion, when a nice short summary would have done the job. Also thought the charts used to document research findings could have been displayed better. Overall, as a non-teacher pursuing a teaching degree, it brought me up to speed on classroom instruction strategies.

I wish I would have heard of Robert Marzano my first year of teaching. This book explains the research behind the classroom instruction and gives you ideas of what you should do. This is a great book to have with the "Handbook for Classroom Instruction that Works".
