Newly updated to reflect current thinking on students who are at risk or have high abilities, this edition continues to focus on the needs of practicing teachers and those who hire them, teachers in training and their supervisors. Stronge (educational policy, planning and leadership, College of William and Mary) is concise and efficient in describing traits and practices of effective teachers, including prerequisites, developing teachers as people, classroom management and organization, planning and preparing for instruction and implementation, monitoring student progress (and most important, potential) and putting it all together. Particularly useful are his checklists and other resources on teacher skills assessment, responsibilities and behavior. The bibliography is also very well-done.
