Becoming a Reflective Teacher demonstrates the importance of reflective practice - an essential component in developing expertise in teaching. Robert J. Manzano and his colleagues present research- and theory-based strategies that combine a model of effective instruction with goal setting, focused practice, focused feedback, and observations and discussions of teaching to improve the instructional practices of all K-12 educators. This book includes a detailed compendium of over 270 ready-to-use strategies organized under 41 elements of effective teaching, along with reproducible self-assessment scales for each element.
