Simms, along with their colleagues, guide coaches in giving targeted feedback to teachers and identify specific steps that teachers can take to improve their knowledge and skill. This book includes 280 research-based classroom strategies, organized under forty-one elements of effective teaching, to help coaches move teachers through the five levels of Marzano's teacher progress scale."--Back cover.
