New teacher book! New learning! But not as much as the Dylan Wiliam Embedded Formative Assessment book.
Today: Robert J. Marzano's The Art and Science of Teaching. To be honest, this was a tough read. While I know plenty of people who really enjoy research, I felt this was too research dense. The research was presented in the interest of teacher educators or other administrators, not as real-life data for teachers to apply. Though each chapter's essential question was eventually met with teaching strategies, I found it hard to take a whole lot from this book. I think, for the most part, the questions are good to ask. They're pretty broad, so teachers like myself who are really looking to focus on the specifics of instruction might feel a little lost or forgotten.
