Teaching Strategies for All Teachers is the Swiss army knife of professional development for teachers who seek a deeper understanding of the art, science, and craft of teaching. Dr. Johnson grabs the essence of the “doing” of effective teaching whether at the graduate level or the pre-school/kindergarten level and creates an instructional collage of comprehensible thinking activities and reading strategies that pre-service and practicing teachers can use immediately in field experiences and in classroom teaching.   Drawing from the seminal work of Lev Vygotsky, Michael Pressley, Benjamin Bloom, Anita Woolfolk, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg, and others Teaching Strategies for All Teachers gives teachers the tools to plan, create, and deliver more purposeful and effective lessons. By embedding metacognitive skills throughout the curriculum teachers can provide a community of thinkers and learners with the necessary context for practice and mastery and enhance learning by enabling students to interact with instructional content at deeper levels. -- Mary Beth Rolak-Sieracki, NBCT: ELA; Chief Constructivist: Collage Educational Services, INC.: Project-Collage
Dr. Johnson's book takes us back to basics and reminds us of what is truly important in teaching: planning, reflecting, and using a variety of research-based, practical and effective pedagogical strategies that work. This book contains step-by-step inserts and video links that make the instructional techniques come to life...an excellent resource for teacher education programs, PLC's, and book clubs. This book could become a bible for novice teachers, and a practical refresher course for veteran teachers...something all teachers will find useful throughout their career...this is the one professional book in your collection that will have lots of bookmarks, post-its, and dog-eared corners! -- Nancy Travers, B.S Ed., M. S. Ed., Reading Specialist, Ridley School District, Ridley, Pennsylvania
