This book presents teaching from three specific actions, Organizing, Instructing, and Assessing, and is divided into three sections which reflect each of these teaching actions. The strategies presented in each section are truly universal in nature; they cut across grade levels, subject areas, and teaching situations. The book emphasizes Context, Content, and Learner as essential elements in the decision-making process. This book bridges the gap between theory, research, and practice with clear and effective writing, and a framework that combines the context, content, and learner with what teachers need in the real organizing, instructing, and assessing. Universal Teaching Strategies expands both the pedagogical teaching knowledge of teachers and their instructional repertoires. For the continuing education of pre-service and in-service teachers.
I've only read one chapter so far, and I've already noticed a few typos/mistakes... I don't like the writing in this book. It just seems to go on and on. I just couldn't get interested. I'm giving it 2 stars because I did get a few good ideas from it.
