Planning, instruction, and community building become interwoven in a powerful manifesto for fundamental instructional and system change--a treasure trove of clear concepts, great ideas for action, and the tools to implement them.</em>--Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus (11/5/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Jim Knight′s </em>High Impact Instruction <em>honors teachers as intelligent, complex, and dedicated people. While many have attempted to identify the attributes of effective instruction, Knight′s work singularly acknowledges the basic human need to be our best selves. A wonderful addition to the literature!</em>--Stephanie Hirsh, Executive Director (11/5/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Jim Knight′s book, </em>High-Impact Instruction<em>, absolutely delivers on the promise of its subtitle ′A Framework for Great Teaching.′ It is breathtaking in its comprehensiveness and heartening in its practicality and detail.

Marzano, CEO (11/5/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Seasoned author Jim Knight provides a masterful resource for teachers and other stakeholders to improve student achievement through a host of clearly defined instructional practices.
