The New Art and Science of Teaching: More Than Fifty New Instructional Strategies for Student Success (Teaching Methods for Competency-Based Education)

The New Art and Science of Teaching: More Than Fifty New Instructional Strategies for Student Success (Teaching Methods for Competency-Based Education)  – February 10, 2017

by Robert J. Marzano  (Author)

 This title is a greatly expanded volume of the original Art and Science of Teaching, offering a competency-based education framework for substantive change based on Dr. Robert Marzano's 50 years of education research. While the previous model focused on teacher outcomes, the new version places focus on student learning outcomes, with research-based instructional strategies teachers can use to help students grasp the information and skills transferred through their instruction. Throughout the book, Marzano details the elements of three overarching categories of teaching, which define what must happen to optimize student learning: students must receive feedback, get meaningful content instruction, and have their basic psychological needs met.
