Review Quotes:
"Expertise in Every Classroom is a riveting in-depth examination of exceptional teachers, their attributes in implementation and dedication to impacting teaching and learning. These intense explorations into reflective practice and systematic thinking show an alignment into the five Core propositions developed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Each chapter is more powerful than the next, intentionally dissecting and reflecting through a variety of approaches that methodically diagnose necessary pathways to ensure every student, every zip-code, no matter their circumstance is academically supported, challenged, safe and validated." --Dolores Cormier-Zenon, NBCT, President Louisiana National Board Certified Teacher Network
"This book answers the question of what makes a good teacher. This foundational look at expert teaching is well written and approachable. From the models presented to the examples used, this book should be owned by all educators." --Chandler Smith, Chief Academic Officer, Central Community Schools, 2015 Milken Foundation Family Educator "Expertise in Every Classroom highlights inspiring stories and research focused on the passion and desire of educators striving to not only teach their students, but to change their lives.
