This book: combines the largest body of empirical educational research to date (now informed by more than 2,100 meta-analyses and implementation in thousands of classrooms globally) with the everyday task of lesson planning includes empirical research on teaching and learning as well as theoretical studies on lesson planning is orientated toward the phases of analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of a lesson illustrates theoretical principles and empirical research results using a specific lesson provides advice for learners, parents, school administrators, and teachers offers numerous opportunities for consolidation through in-depth tasks at the levels of surface understanding and deep understanding follows evidence-based criteria for the successful professionalization of teachers This powerful and essential guide, which includes model plans, exercises, and checklists, will show any school how to implement Hattie‘s research to maximize student success.
