Making Every Lesson Highly Effective Book

This guide gives teachers the direction and guidance to structure and plan lessons so they know that students are learning as much as possible.

Using The Master Teacher's Results-Oriented Teaching Model, teachers of any experience level will understand the solid strategies to incorporate into lesson plans that will help ensure student success and build comprehension of material.

Self-directed activities throughout the book enable teachers to reflect on their current teaching practices and consider how they can incorporate the elements of results-oriented teaching in their classrooms today.

Making Every Lesson Highly Effective covers these important elements of great teaching:

• Delivering the crucial what, why, and how of a lesson so students will be prepared for learning.

• Supplying relevant information and examples that directly pertain to the lesson—and eliminating material that may confuse or sidetrack students.
• The advantages of modeling the learning by explaining or demonstrating the thinking process involved in completing the task.
• Checking for comprehension to gauge student learning and determine whether the class is ready to practice the skills of the lesson.
• Enhancing student performance with effective practice.
• Gauging students' learning and providing feedback that connects their responses to the learning objectives.
• Providing closure to instruction which reinforces learning.
• Self-directed activities for professional growth.
