The bottom line: An overpriced, but useful, step-by-step “how-to” guide best suited for those seeking exact prescriptions to deliver specific content to teach K-12 students.

Strategies and Models for Teachers essentially is a detailed guidebook and on the basics of teaching, learning, thinking, and offers many different models of teaching that each have specific advantages in specific educational situations. After the basics are covered in the first part of the book ... http://www.chesadaphal.com/strategies...

Had to use this book as a textbook for one of my Education courses. Some good ideas for teaching models/lessons plans, where you want to have critical thinking occur in the classroom. While I wasn't the biggest fan of some of the examples, they did help aid me in figuring out certain aspects when it came to the planning process. The break down of the phases were a plus.

A nice addition to any library of ED books.

Contained interesting ideas and strategies for classroom teaching, but a lot of their case studies seemed too perfect, and many of their explanations seemed too confusing. I'd recommend this book to future teachers, provided they couple it with real-world representations of the strategies therein.

I think this book is really great, especially for anyone learning about lesson plans and the different types of lesson plans. This book gives you great examples for each LP and even breaks down the phases so they are easily explainable.
