The Elements of Education for Teachers: 50 Research-Based Principles Every Educator Should Know

This book, like its analogy to chemical elements (pictured on the cover) is about the basics. Short, two-page sections list concepts that teachers can focus on in this new school year.

Used this to create a self guided course!

I support new K-12 teachers. I think this book will help me encapsulate some of the key concepts that I am sharing with them.

A book that is long overdue. Well done!

I was really pleasantly surprised by this book!Organization--I initially thought that the "elements" idea was a gimmick, but I was completely wrong. It works really well as an organizing framework for the book.Practical--The tips in this book are practical, specific, and actionable for an educator or school leader.Research--One of the things I liked best about this book was that the tips were not simply based on the authors' personal teaching experience, but on teaching experience + empirical research, which they cited for the reader's future reading.Surprising!--Honestly books like these can be dime a dozen, but this one had some really surprising and useful information! For example, include sleep strategies for different ages was brilliant!
