How Teaching Happens: Seminal Works in Teaching and Teacher Effectiveness and What They Mean in Practice

Excellent

A tremendous book on teaching for teachers.

Easy to read and very useful for teachers and for all interested in education. Based on scientific research and not on outdated ideology

A super informative distillation of how teaching happens. A must read for all educators who care about what works and what doesn’t work as a method of instruction.

Having enjoyed the innovative format of How Learning Happens, this wonderful collection of commentary, analysis and insightful discussion, draws upon 30 seminal papers that ensure new and old scholars can be taken to the heart of understanding our field and ourselves as educators. Brilliant scholarship!

Kirschner, Hendrick, and Heal (all three noted experts in the field) manage to synthesize the most impactful research about teaching in such a way that every teacher can become more effective by applying it. Their conversational style and relatable examples help to make the content easy-to-digest and approachable by even the novice reader. This book should be a core resource in educator prep programs -- a truly valuable contribution to the field.
