It is concise, complete, and filled with clearly stated, easily understood, excellent ideas and examples that I wish I had when I began my career as a classroom teacher of ELL and diverse students."

"Five Standards for Effective Teaching is packed with the essentials of excellent teaching, from how to arrange the physical environment, group students for maximum learning, manage multiple small groups, create a community of learners, lead dialogue that results in new understandings, and more, all in five standards for effective teaching. These research–based standards cross grade level, subject area, and student population and are illustrated with vivid, real–life examples."
