Small changes can lead to big results!

- Content planning, including using guiding questions, learning maps, and formative assessment
- Instructional practices such as the use of thinking prompts, effective questions, challenging assignments, and experiential learning
- Community building, in which you shape a classroom culture that promotes well-being, creativity, learning, and high expectations

I liked the way it is organized
By incorporating the ideas Knight presents into my lesson plans, my ability to develop well-rounded as well as more focused lessons has dramatically increased. I bought this book a year ago, when I was a wide-eyed first-year grad student who was determined to become an effective educator yet was confused by the many facets of teaching. I read this book over the summer before my second year of grad school, and I really appreciated this book; I liked the way it is organized, the way it features a mind map as well as a motivational quotation before each chapter. Knight has a knack for describing techniques and ideas in a clear, yet comprehensive way. Upon diving into my second year of grad school, I used this book as a source while writing papers and I incorporated Knight's techniques into my lesson plans. I more clearly grasp the topics my professors discuss because I already pre-learned them from this book. I'm looking forward to having my own class next year in which I can turn put the ideas into action.
Arrived on time and as described.
I'm getting into the book now. Jim Knight's work is very strong. The condition of book was as described.
