Dr Jim Knight presents: High Impact Instruction

 

Small changes can lead to big results! The key to improving student achievement isn't more teacher time—it's more teacher impact. But how do you decide which instructional practices will deliver the most bang for your buck? In this handbook, written for teachers but suitable for use by principals and instructional coaches, best-selling author Jim Knight presents the high-leverage strategies that make the biggest difference in student learning. "Jim Knight has the capacity to be crystal clear at both the micro and the macro levels—a rare talent.High-Impact Instruction goes deep and it goes comprehensive. Planning, instruction, and community building become interwoven in a powerful manifesto for fundamental instructional and system change." —Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus OISE/University of Toronto
