May not be the most inspiring read on how to observe other teachers and incorporate their best practices. That said, this book is filled to the brim with useful and practical teaching strategies that are validated by research. Especially effective are the example scenarios of teaching given in the book that are then analyzed to see what went wrong or what went well. I would only recommend this book to professional people already working in the field of education.
